That fixed Sir Guy.  Elephant does not have corneas, so I turned off every diffuse for every part of the elephan eye.  Now the eyes are all black. SO it will take a little more experimenting but at least I'm on the right track now.

 

THANKS

 

 

Edit:  Okay with a bit more experimentation I found that with the elephant I had to not only kill the diffuse, but remove the reflection from the Eye Iris completely.  Once I had done that....Eyes are no longer glassy.

 

Again thank you for your input.  It really helped.... (memo to self......write it down so you don't forget next time)  ahem.....THANKS.
