How do you make an animation/pose that has it's eyes closed? I'm at a loss to find an expression that has this from the available list.

Unfortunately, it doesn't mention an expression that keeps the eyes closed, but that seems to be because there isn't one. Oh well. I guess every SL avatar will need to use a sleep-mask. :)

Obviously someone did some of the basic, what, 15 animations?

How is this coded? Surely someone must have found a way to "make their own" customized expressions.

Are these facial morphs or strickly "animations" on the face?

There's several expressions that close the eyes. using a combination, you can probably get something quite acceptable. Combining express_toothsmile and express_distain gives a nice "eyes closed, small smile" look.

Note you won't be able to do this from the animation upload screen; it will require running those animations via script and repeating as the above mentioned Emoter HUD does. Grab one from YadNi's and play with it; you can do quite a lot with clever combinations.

To answer the other question, all facial expressions and hand positions are preset morphs in SL; the SL avatar itself is based off the Poser 2 figure and thus all morphs are hard-coded.

Yeah, YadNi's one is great and fun. You can show incredible emotions by using it. Sample :D
