stealing parts of shapes

[jamination]

Lets say I have an eye blink where the lower lid and the upper lid meet in the middle for a blink. Is there a way where I can duplicate that blink and just use the upper lid blink exactly as it is while the lower lid is in completely down as in the base shape.

thanks
Phil

Depends how you've set it up. If its all shape animation I don't think you can split it.

One handy trick while setting eyeblinks up is to have both the upper and lower lid as seperate shapes. Model the upper almost closed and the lower to about halfway up. Then use custom sliders for the upper, lower and one that drives them both for a blink (they don't have to be driven 100% for that one).

Duplicate your blink then use the reset points script
1.Select the points you want to reset
2."ctrl" + select the shape (in the explorer)
3.Shape-> Reset points
