You said there will be some difficulty (a chore) morphing the pupil dilation? Why? There's nothing in the way of your reaching it - which is what I thought you were referring to as a problem.
Also, apparently the significance of "parametric" geometry building is not getting across. I'm not trying to be insulting, but I literally do not have time to explain everything I'm thinking about, so I use words that mean what I mean in the shortest possible sentence. The result is if you skip a few words of mine, then you don't actually know what I'm saying. I don't expect people to hang on my every word. But I do expect them to respond only after having read every word, otherwise we get into very cognitively dissonant conversations. If you don't have time to read every word I write, then please do not tell people what problems you think there will be, because you probably don't get what I'm saying accurately. ;-) In particular, parametric here means I built it using parameters. I did not manually model this as others do. Which means pupil dilation is trivial, not a chore. You've lost me and I've lost you, except I can demonstrate what I'm saying with this picture.
Here are a bunch of pupil dilation morphs. These were generated by the script, not by me. I can dial in any pupil radius I want.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
