RAMWolfe - At the time M2 was big, there was a productknown as Real Eyes, by CakeOne(I think.)  These really made eyes sparkle!  They are their own Eye geometries/textures.  The trick was to shine a light right into them, and then have them look directly at the camera.

BTW - I rememebr something about Archangel Michael, but this is all I can remember.  Where did it get started, and where did it go?
