Jaw Closing

As mentioned, I had to sort out how to close the jaw from the starting rig position of it being open. This is a video of how I went about that. This was a big part when I had to start the breathing sequence while the cat slept, as trying to close the jaw with the Translate tool rather than Rotate lead to a lot of glitches. Tongue Blep Test

After sorting out the jaw, I did a test, as above, animating how the cat could do a ‘blep,’ which I used in the early breathing sequence.  Eye Slant Settings For the eyelid settings, both were originally set to zero for the Top Eyelid Control, Bottom Eyelid Control and Eyelid Rotation in the Channel Box. However, as mentioned, these were set as straight across, unlike the slant which a cat would have. 

I adjusted these settings so that the eyes were more slanted. This took a little effort, as the settings for each eyelid were different to the other, as the following shows.
