My 2 cents....The reason eyes don't seem to have any soul is because, just like skin, there is all sorts of stuff happening with light that Poser doesn't take into account. For example, if you look closely at a good eye reference, you'll notice red light bleeding in from the sides (light coming in through the eyesocket skin), and you'll also notice that light enters the eyeball, and comes out on the other side, giving it a 'glow'. None of this happens in a Poser render - although I tried - see link above to a gallery image where I applied the RealSkinShader to the eyewhite. Utterly failed, but I think with a bit more experimentation more realism could be achieved. I don't think reflections are the answer - I've seen lots of good photo's of eyes, where the only reflection is the camera flash.Creator of PoserPhysics
