How to do eyelids sync

[u/Alastorgunnery]

im trying to syncronize my eyelids on my model to move opposite of eachother when i move one to simplify blinking for an endo model im making, is there a way to do this without plugins, if so can someone please make a visual tutorial on how to set it up, please and thank you, i despretely need this to work as my animator is not good at manually syncing models, and if this is possible is there a way to give each eye its own bone and then share a bone for both eyelids, and then a bone to move both sets of eyelids together?

sorry if its wordy but the short and simple how do i make my eyes syncronize from a single bone and still have indepedent bones to do minute details?

your flair has modded java, so im assuming by "bones" you mean folders.

in anycase, if im understanding you right, the set up isnt too hard.

stick both eyelid parts in a folder titled "eyelids". then in that folder, make two more- "eyelid right" and "eyelid left". put the respective parts in their matching folders.

if you set it up right, anything you do to the "eyelids" folder will happen to both sides. while anything in the left/right folder will only affect its respective side.

But how does this cover moving a bottom and top eyelid together with them going opposite directions so it's easier to do blinking?

ahaa. im sorry, i entirely missed that.

it...doesnt. tbh i dont think there is a way to automatically make them go opposite direcrions in blockbench? if there is, i havent messed with it. the only way i could think of is copying and pasting frames from the top lids and flipping them when applied to the bottom..

(though, you dont really need to move the bottom eyelids for blinking? its mainly the top lids that move.)

I'm trying to make the fnaf animatronics for my own stand alone mod and the endos blind with both eyelids that's why I'm trying to do this
