i think that the vendors who produce eye sets should at least provide the lighting setup used in the promo images as you may be right,but sometimes i think its also the contrast between the skin and the eyes that count.

I remember sometimes using different eye maps with different skin maps the eyes sometimes seem positively muddy or blazing bright white :-) might be good if i was rendering a goa'uld from stargate but not much use for abnything else haha
