I was working on a model tonight..and somehow one of her eyes went a bit whacky.One eye is..odd. I've tried reposing, changing eyes, changing light. In the end, shes still got this electric-lookin eyeball. Any suggestions? Thanks. Myst

Can you post your material room settings as a screenshot please? Preferably for both eyes.

it may be the cornea that's set wrong.

As far as the cornea morphs..they are both set at one. Shall I delete iris screen shots and add the cornea ones. I have looked at them..they seem the same, but I may be overlooking something. Mystmaiden

left cornea may have a non-black ambient or some transparency glitch. post screenshots.

Here's the cornea screen shots, I really appreciate the help.

and the other

it all checks out o.k. maybe some kind of lighting/IBL/AO glitch.

I was having a horrid time with the MFG from RDNA. After trying all kinds of things, it turns out it was the lighting I was using. Maybe try a different lighting... and see what you get. I find that the free Rose Gardens one from RDA worked for me.

Miss Nancy thanks for having a look, I appreciate it Acadia, I've tried several different light sets and poses, but I am willing to try another. This is so puzzling. Thanks for the suggestion Mystmaiden

Something is off with the corneas. They shouldn't be previewing grey like that. It could just be the angle of the lights striking the eye, though. You've got her dead-on to camera in the shot. Does it change if you twist her head slightly away from camera?

Nothing seems to help. I've posed and reposed.. changed lights. I did discover that unplugging the reflection on both eyes..makes them both glow, if thats any clue. Here's the latest shot of her. I note the left eye also looks phyiscally flat across the surface, but the morphs are still there..

Oh I did flash on the fact I had used Bishonen eye reflections. I've used them before on other than Bishonen eyes and model..to no ill effect.

Is it possible to simply delete the eyes without deleting the model..and start over on just the eyes? A very puzzled Mystmaiden

That glow in the last image is kind of nify :) Don't know how to make them natural though. I suck at Poser 6 lighting and Nodes are my bane, LOL

Yhis is actually done with poser 5 I did save one separate view with the glowing eyes to play with later to see if I can come up with something fun for it. The other copy I am trying to fix. i sort of liked this face..so maybe its salvagable Mystmaiden

These are the steps that I make,when applying eye textures. 1. Turn the diffuse color black. 2. Disconnect the color texture from the diffuse and specular channels.There don't need to be a texture in there at all. :-)

Thanks much Virtua, I'll definitely try it

Well, however I did that, I have successfully done it again. It happened when I changed eye colors on another modek. :( I did try unplugging the color texture..so far it has reduced the problem but not solved it. If nothing else I am consistent. Mystmaiden

eyeglow means non-zero ambient. meaning a colour not (0,0,0) in rgb. we can see the ambient values are zero, but maybe the black ambient colour is not pure black for some component.

Success at last, I did what Virtua said and it's fixed on both models. Yhanks for the explantion Miss Nancy, I think its beginning to clear up for me. I'm not entirely sure what rgb is though. Thank you everyone who looked at this and helped me sort it out, I am most appreciative.

mystmaiden:
RGB = Red, Green, Blue. The values that make up colour in the 2D/3D world.

R=0, G=0, B=0 = black.
R=255, G=255, B=255 = white.
For pure red, set R=255, G & B to zero.
For pure green, set G=255, R & B to zero...
Etc.
I could go on, but I'm not sure how much you want to learn of the basics (or if you just misunderstood a previous post and actually know all this stuff from a different perspective)

If you want to know more, play around in any 2D/3D apps colour-assignment dialogue for a while...

Cheers,
Diolma
