Description
That tool is an auto-eyelids-rig. It allows you to create a cartoony eyelids rig with (or without) smart blink feature.
The smart blink feature allows you to blink wherever the eyelids controllers are positioned. It's a very simple rig to use with advances features for creating beautiful facial expressions.
It works with any Maya version and can be included in a existing rig with the auto-parenting system. It properly rename and group every objects and nodes and keep the scene clear.
Note that the rig system is inspired by Marco Giordano's in his 'Cartoon eyeLid rigging' videos (vimeo.com/marcogiordano91), with his permission.
