OK modeling gurus and eye experts.

I was unhappy with the way Poser deals with the lines converging to a point in the middle of the cornea. It tended to make the specular reflection shaped like a tear drop.

I took a look at Antonia's existing eye mesh and, odf, I see that you did not "spin" the cornea, but rather made a mesh of quads sampling the semi-sphere of the cornea, and then merged that into the sclera which was spun.

So I was thinking about how to do this in the general case. I came up with an interesting geometry. I bet it has a name, but I don't know it, so I'm calling it a "staggered spin". The central point is eliminated, and replaced with a single quad, basically spin x4 of a single point. Then from there, the next "ring" has 8 points, connected to the central quad via quads. Then the next ring has 16 points, and the next 32. From there on, there are 32 points in each ring.

It's an improvement, but still not producing the highlight shape I expected.

Here's the wireframe.


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)
