How do you get a character to wink?

Yes, I can close one eye but then they just look creepy. 

 

How would you get a character to wink? Which dials would you use for a realistic wink?

 

Thyanks in advance!

I think what sells a wink is not just closing the eye, but pulling up that corner of the mouth, and other assymetrical elements, like nose wrinkle and cheek flex.

I've not tried it and probably use a different figure, but wink at yourself in the mirror and watch which muscles move and try to emulate that.  Of course I'm not practiced at winking but it appears that in addition to the eye, muscles in the cheek and the corner of the mouth move as well, something that people seem to miss as I see a lot of renders with one eye closed that doesn't look like a wink at all.

Use the PowerPose and an example photo of a (real photographic) wink you like & keep at it as long as you need to do get a really good 3D model wink that you like. Save.

Repeat for next expression.

And so on.

Are they really that good as you think? Then sell them in the DAZ 3D Store.

In about 2 to 6 weeks there will be both an Auto Face Enhancer for Genesis 8 Male and an upgrade of Auto Face Enhancer for Genesis 8 Female that will help make creating facial expressions such that they look much more realistic because he's (D.Master) sculpted in more geometry at higher subdivision levels then what is currently available.
