o.k., maybe OP wants the eyes to emit lite and illuminate the surfaces adjacent to them.  the way to do this is to use IDL with ambient channel or translucent channel.  there's one with IDL/GI and glowing eyes (poser 7) on my home page, but it looks alot better in poser 8 and later.  poser atmosphere (at present) only works with spotlltes.  it don't work with point lites nor with IDL.
