Heh - you didn't read what I wrote on the BBEyes page. You must enable raytracing. The cover material uses reflection and refraction. If you do not enable raytracing, then it renders black, because the entire cover is nothing but reflections and refractions. It has no color of its own.
It is OK to use transparency, but you basically turned off the cover.
And you should not use textures that have baked-in reflections like that one above. The whole point of this eye is realism, not fakery.
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)
