In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

duplicate properly

Hello guys this is my ploblem:
I have create one eye and apply to it
cluster deformers and a locator to control the blink
attribute. My problem is that i don't know how
duplicate it properly to create the other eye.

I have group all the elements then duplicate it
with the Duplicate Input Connections checked in
the Duplicate Options. The locator work properly,
but the new eyeball is one unusual blue sphere.

I've tried to duplicate it, checking the option
Duplicate Input Graph and the result is correct
but the new locator don't control his eyeball. Can
you help me ? I attach some pics to make easy
understand.

Thanks to all.

I would probably duplicate the eyeball and then apply your deformers after.

He's an alien you can build using tutorials from a 3d site I believe.
