Is there any good techniques for making more realistic eyes. More of a transparent look when rendered or does this need to be done in post?

If you have Poser 4; I suggest going to Bushi's 3d web site. /he has a wonderful P4 nude woman with "Real Eyes" props that he created. It's a layered figure complete with iris, pupil, and cornea. The cornea appears convex the way it's supposed to be. Tip: If you use the extra large verision, render with shadows off. I won't use anything else for character creation now...I just started expirimenting with transplanting the Real Eye prop to the P4 nude man. I think it will work too. Casey Casey

Casey - look down that Real Eyes page a bit further. The P4NM is already set up and ready to go with a pair of the props. Unless you had something special in mind, this would save you a lot of work.

Doh! Thanks. When I picked up the P4nw, I wasn't planning on doing anything with the male, but now I have need for him. ::I should've looked there first...before installing all those MTs [...]":: Casey

You might also check the Freestuff for a contribution from momodot called "Moist Eyes". It is a smart prop which will parent to the P4 Fem's eye, and give it a specular sheen. The prop was easy to modify for use with the P4 Male. Momodot's props are also useful if you have an existing character created, where substituting in a new figure is not an option.

Momodot's moist eyes are very useful if you already have a character created. You can, however, add bushi's RealEyes to an existing character. Check the tutorials at the Props Guild where some joker has posted a tutorial on how to do this. Paul

Paul - You're such a joker! grins I went and took a look (understandably curious) and I think it's really well done. You obviously but a ton of work into it. Kudos! I'd like to place a link on the Real Eyes page to the tutorial if that's OK with you. If you need to discuss this further I'm at bushi@spiritone.com.

Absolutely bushi, I'd be delighted :) Paul

Thanks all for your great responses!!
