Let me start by saying that I have lots of beautiful brown textures. But I could really use more textures in nice shades of grey and green, and hazel and blue would be nice as well. I'm looking for textures that have no painted on reflections. Hi-res and high-detail would be best. At this point I'm not specifically looking for a merchant resource, but I wouldn't object to using one. Recommendations?

For which model? V4/M4, Elite Eyes @ DAZ nice texture set.
Zaarin posted Fri, 20 July 2012 at 5:34 PM
Oh, sorry. Yeah, Gen4. And the Elites do have great eyes, but I have all of them and most of them have brown eyes. :/ Katie and Lana have green eyes, but none have grey. I suppose we could argue about what color Jeremy's eyes are--but in the end I think I'd have to settle for blue. ;)
@3doutlaw: I'll check it out, thanks.

Well, Sabby's eyes aren't really what I'm looking for, but the MR by PDesign looks great. Thanks for pointing it out to me. :)

You could try SG Real Eyes on the link below, I have used then almost exclusively for sometime as the are so good and there is a large selection to choose from.

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.

Most of the merchant resource texture people are just selling you someone else's freebies. This is like my number one pet peeve about the Rendo marketplace. There are at least two or three copies of the same damn chain mail texture for sale that each vendor got for free off of filter forge. I remember buying a pack of skin tiles a couple years back only to be really pissed to learn that they were originally made by Rawart, and btw, free as a part of filter forge.
For weird eyes, I used this next one to make eyes for my genesis duckies and muck:

If its for personal use, you could just drop the iris' onto existing maps. Here are some other options.

Yes, I have those and use those frequently. :)

Wow, that sucks that people would do that. :(

I think the icing on the cake is that they add usage restrictions. They're taking someone else's work, work that was given away for free, and then telling you how you can go about redistributing it?

Oh, those look wonderful! I kind of wish I'd bought those instead of PDesign's, since I was disappointed to find some of PDesign's have painted on reflections whereas Rebelmommy clearly shows hers do not--oh, well, in the cart they go to await my having money again. ;)

You could just download the free trial of filter forge and make all the eyes you want.

There are a lot of eye sets that I would like to use but so many of them have painted on reflections which I dislike. To me the reflection should reflect the lighting or set up of the scene. I cannot remeber the last time I used a eye set for any of my renders that have painted reflections and almost all of the eyes for my characters come from one of two sets I purchased some time ago.

Perhaps, but I do tend to prefer eyes from photographic references--though, unfortunately, they also have a higher rate of painted on reflections.

Absolutely agree! Painted reflections (like painted highlights on hair and skin) are one of the fastest ways to make an image look fake. :(
