Hello folks i send this post to ask a little question about texturing eyes... im work in an images of a fx book im writing and im trying to do some images of aliens people... one of race got a eyes withou iris or pupils, its was easy to do ( only change the color of them ) but another race got a kind of eyes in spiral color... im trying to work on it but im not find how to do... I need to make the pupils and iris got a image and it continues along the eyeball or make the texture in eyeball and vanish with iris and pupils... I tried make the pupils and iris trans but its not work cause them became a hole on eyes... I think about deleting the eyes ( working in hierarchy of human object ) and changing for two spheres but i think this metod is a lot of hard and not so good... Someone knows how to help me? Thanx a lot folks Keep the good working....

you could try loading up the texture map in photoshop and using the 'liquify' tool (i dont know if this is in anything other than 6) or you could try KPT6 for a nice swirl. all your texture problems can be answered in photoshop, for it is god.

well guy... my problem isnt do the texture for eyes my trouble is applying it to eye, cause im cannot make the eyeballs one thing with pupils and iris, when i apply poser make the eyeball right but iris and pupils appear as normal, not appear like im trying to do... but thanx for your answer...

If you have Victoria or Michael, they have an additional eye part (eyeball I believe) that you normally make transparent to give realistic reflections. If you set its material's transparency slider to zero and apply a spiral texture map, that might give you the effect you're looking for. For the regular poser figures you could arrange a small sphere with your texture over an eye, parent it to the eye, then make the eye invisible. It may even animate with changes in the eye dials, if you position it carefully.

thanx guy ... like i imagine...

Hey - don't assume we're all guys - lots of gals in the Poser community. Let me know if my techniques work for you.

findreans has the same question I do. Is the only resolution to replace the eye with an orb? This seems akward and time consuming, but perhaps that is only my relative ignorance talking. I have many "alien eye" textures that I would like to use, but I always experience the same problems findreans speaks of, no matter what I've tried so far.

when heartsong says about akward and time consuming is exact what im speaking of... i think this solution but im speaking here cause maybe theres another way... well i will try this way... if works i will say to you gryffnn ... about im saying "guy" is cause your nick ( ok ok ok i must admit gryffnn isnt a nick who shows exact if its a guy or a gal... ) so next time i will put guys and gals in my post.... ;)
