G3 eyelids don't automatically move?

Is it normal for G3's eyelids to not raise and lower when the eyes do so like those of the previous figures did? Thanks in advance for any information.

Mine does, not as drastic as previous figures but the lids do move with the eye.
The pose control eye side-side and updown sliders move the lids but if you manipulate the left and right eyes directly the lids won't move, so you can choose which combo you want. :)
Odd, I get the same amount of lid movement with either the eye controller or the eye itself
No that's actually the issue I'm having, the lids barely move at all when the up-down sliders are moved. Far less than G2, and I have to manually adjust the eyelid dials. This is a fresh install of G3 too, so I can only assume this is normal.
My Genesis3actors eyelids move with eye rotation ,,(because,, I can see,, eyelids bone roataion are linked with Eye X,Y,Z rotation by ERC arelady,, then it should move ,,,)
to avoid it,, I may need remove ERC link,,,for each eye rotation proeprty, ^^;,) I play only DIM installer,, then do not know DAZ connect package,,
Snow, what is the name of the specific dial you're trying? Eyes up down?
You're right, it does! I missed that before, I only rotate the eyeballs directly when the pose controls have reached their limits and seems the lids also have reached their limit by then. Good to know :)
Snow, yeah so they do move but not as pronounced as you may want... I've found that too. So the erc works but not to the scale we prefer...
I also prefered g2's eye side-side pose controls slider to the left moved the eyes left when g2 is facing me, and similar to the right, whereas that direction is opposite on g3.
It will be nice, if they move correctly when pointing eyes at the camera.
Cris: Yes, Eyes Up-Down. It sounds like the behavior is normal, it's just so much less than G2 that it looks odd to me unless I add Eyes Closed at 20% or so to it.
I got so weirded out by the lack of eyelids following eye movements that I made my own "Look Up With Lids" and "Look Down With Lids" pose controls. I feel like G2F had more realistic eye controls in this regard.
Also I can't get a decent open-mouthed grin out of G3F, but that's another subject... :p

I wish there was more morph control for the lids. Such as keeping the eye permanently squinted as part of the figure shape- not as a pose.
