Hi

At 15fps animation how many frames would you use for a blink? I've been using 6 frames settings at 0, .5, 1, .75, .25, 0

Is there some better standard that looks the most realistic for just an average blink?

I animate at 30 FPS and the blink consumes five frames, three on the open, two on the close. So the entire blink is in 1/6th of a second. Suggest you experiment and settle on what looks natural to you. ::::: Opera :::::

The closing is slower than the open - closing is relaxation , opening is contraction of the muscle. http://members.aol.com/nonverbal2/eyeblink.htm

I always use 4 frames... and the timing depends on the mood or type of blink

don't forget to use the graph editor to make the curves linear. If you don't the default easing gives you some pretty undesirable results
