Which Blinking System looks better?

Hello, I’m working on small projects 1 at a time to better my game-dev skills. I’m working on a first person realism test, and I was wondering which of these blinks looks cleaner / better. A few details:
1 - This one is rather mundane but gets the job done well and is pretty good imo. It uses tweens to close and open.
2 - This one took a really long time to create and adjust. It uses 5 frames (to close, and the same frames but in reverse to re-open) but runs at a stupidly high FPS. To me, it looks slightly strange though, albeit quite realistic.
Here are the videos (as streamable links):

I’d like to know

  • which one is better
  • how can I improve it or both of them

Thanks a lot

I think the first is better.

Or maybe the second would be even better, if you don’t make the parts so visible when not blinking.

Thanks a lot!
Should I recede (bring back) them or just make them completely invisible when not blinking?

try to make them just a little more hide, but not totally or put completely invisible, see what you like more, but that both options for me are already good.

I’d rather say to make it a bit quicker and add triggers such as: if you look up in the rain you are closing your eyes but not completely, or the same in scripted wind for example. Would be great additions.

First one for me.
And make it a little bit quicker maybe, usually you dont blink as slow.

The first one is starting to grow on me, I quite like its simplicity, and the average player would like this too perhaps.

That’s a great idea! I hadn’t thought of that at all, and it seems so cool!

Honestly, the blinking could also be dependent on the environment. As I said above: scripted environments could have an impact on the blinking. Another is character actions, if you are constantly moving, the blinking is a bit faster or if you are idle for so long is slows down.

Another great idea! I will definitely consider these in my game (it’s a demo for an upcoming game idea that I have)!

Personally, I think the first one is better, but the second one is more realistic if you’re going to realism.

I feel like 1 is so much better. Maybe thats just my bland personality?

remove those movie-frame-like black areas. It makes the game extremely unrealistic.

First one.
Also, I’m pretty sure we move our top eyelid to the bottom. I don’t think they meet in the middle.

Your bottom eyelid moves a bit, but I will definitely adjust this. Good spot!
