You got that right!  I've got one and a half blue/gray/green eyes (they change) -- and half of one is hazelnut brown.  If somebody made a character with eyes like that, it'd be called unrealistic.

A lady I knew way back when had one eye like your technicolor one and one a deep brown.  Another had hazel eyes that would go green now and then.  Literally not figuratively.

That's because life doesn't have to follow a plot line. :-)

 

I never have figured out HOW anyone could end up with a pair of eyes, with one half brown.  Maybe I was supposed to have true hazel eyes -- but a gene went wonky somewhere.  Luckily, unless I have eyes wide open, the brown spot is concealed by my eyelid, thank goodness.  :-)

Thinking on realism, when I was young -- and nobody had cosmetic surgery but the celebrities -- I remember a girl who was so pretty, naturally with no makeup, that if a character were made with a face and figure like hers, she'd be called unbelievable.  The rest of her family were just ordinary looking, but this girl was a true beauty.  Funny thing -- she dropped out of sight when we were in our twenties.  I have no idea what happened to her.

Memory lane...

The renders of Dawn/clothing are looking very good!  Speaking of Marvelous Designer, I got a personal license for that awhile back and thought hard about upgrading to a commercial license (making clothes with that program is fun and easy) -- but I found I had to retopologize everything I made.  And if I retopologized, I'd end up basically re-modeling the piece, so I decided to just model from scratch to start with.  And Poser 2014 will drape as realistically as MD will.  It just doesn't have all the cloth presets.

To each his/her own.  :-)

That is a great deal on Silo though.  I don't know how the Steam thing works, but Silo is an excellent modeling program.  Does UV mapping pretty well, too.  And materials and sculpting, if someone knows what they're doing.

Dawn will have quite a wardrobe, when she makes her debut...what with all these new models and modelers.  :-)

I love me some Modo!  :-)
