Quote - lesbentley: I didn't know about "linkParms". Pretty cool stuff! I think for things like cat-eyes or pupil dilation it's perfect.

Now I wonder if it's possible to rig the eyes so that moving the left eye would also move the right eye and vice versa, but one could still achieve a cross-eyes look via a separate dial.

I have written a rather long answer, and so as not to clog up this thread, have posted it in the "Antonia Technical" thread.

Quote - I like to put controls as close to the part they influence as possible, but I know some prefer to use the body or introduce dummy actors just for controls. If we can get a clear majority vote here for one or the other, I'll put it down in Antonia's little book of unbreakable rules. But I'm not really prepared to enforce those rules.

I too like to put controls in the part they influence, or the first common parent they share.
