Been messing around lately, trying to create eyes that actually look like they have some depth and aren't just a texture mapped sphere. Well, I sat down and built some eyes in cinema 4d and stuck them inside Michaels head. I sorta like the results but I would really like to hear what you guys think about it. The head texture is the Franco Jr tex and the neck is the standard Michael tex with some scarring I did on it. Everything rendered in Cinema 4D. Let me know what you think. Regards Ian

I think they look pretty good, but the iris seems a bit too small, imho. plus, it could use a texture where you could see some of the red veins you would normally see in someone's eye. :o)

Hmmm. I have to say that if you pull apart Michael's and Victoria's eyes you'll see that they are not just spheres. They are very dimentional, with 4 separate parts. the eyewhites actually have a ridge detail around the iris. They really have a lot of depth which shine in a true ray trace program. Poser sometimes just doesn't show this well. This is by no means a slam at any attempt you're doing here. These eyes look fine, though I agree, a little small. James

To be honest I think the Vic/Mike eyes are just fine when textured properly (aside from being cross-eyed) Your image above is very good, but does need veining in the eyes.

Looking good. But to white IMHO. My eyes never look like that unless I drop in the Visine. ;) Give the whites a some small red veins and also make them a little more towards the beige side rather than stark white. Clint

Actually there are veins in the eyes. Very subtle veins, that seem to get lost in the compression. I guess I will have to make them stand out more. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I did take Michaels eyes apart and I am using a true raytracer, and I have never been satisfied with the way the eyes look. They have no depth whatsoever, unlike say, Nerds eyes. Thanks for your suggestions. Back to the drawing board :) Regards Ian

Did I forget to mention that there is no postwork on this one, and that post was not done deliberately. Regards Ian

They do need to have bigger irises, and, pupils. Also, it would be good, if you posed each of them separately...side to side, and, up and down, to rid the picture completely of the DAZ dead stare. The iris should have some different colors, too. Irises are multicolored...and change color as the light hits them in different ways. Here is an example....I know it is pixellated, but, I did a quick resize of 300% to try and give you at least some idea of what I am talking about. That guy you made is awesome. If you get the right eyes workin' he'd be a bad boy babe and a half... Pop...pop...Poppi!!!
