Tried several things to achieve the "eyes brimming with tears" effect, and this is the best I've come up with. The figure is Vicky2. I used a torus positioned just above the eyelid with transparency set to 0.8 - colored the eyeball and lacrimal pink.

I parented the toruses (tori?) to the head, but can't figure out how to save them as a smart prop so they can be applied to other Vicky2 figures. They position themselves in her abdomen!

Next step would be to create a "wet skin sheen" overlay for the head texture, to provide the look of tears moistening her face. Addition of a "tear" prop emerging from the corner of the eye would be another option, although seldom do you actually see teardrops falling down someone's face.

It would be nice to be able to incorporate all this in some MAT/MOR files to simplify application.

Anyone have any suggestions?
