Why is the restriction tag limited to only 6 vertex maps?

How can i add more vertex map slots to a restriction tag? I need about 8 vertex maps slots in 1 restriction tag.

Have you tried adding a second Restriction Tag?
(I haven't, so I don't know if it works, I'm not at my workstation)

Haha, as soon as i posted this i thought of that. But nope it doesn't work. When you do it, the first restriction tag is overwritten.

Well, then I guess you might have to "merge" some if the selections if possible.
But as you say you need 8 different ones it might not be an option then...

Yeah i can't merge the objects. I have one FFD controlling 6 different eye objects.

I came up with a method of making toon eyes that can be controlled with FFD's and still rotate, inside the FFD. I also made seperate top and bottom eyelids and pupils that move along the eyes surface, using mesh deformer.

Its a great effect and i'm going to show it off here when done. I think people would be interested in seeing it.

I suppose i will have to have a copy of that FFD. Then drive the copied FFD's points with the original.
