Use a smaller value for Hard (about 50) otherwise you'll have a too shiny look instead of soft specular that fakes refracted light. You can tweak the RGB values and brightness/contrast of the image to achieve the appearance you want. Also please remember to change 'Projection' in the map input settings from 'flat' to 'cube'. Here is the eye texture taken from the picture above:Īlternatively, you can create an image like this procedurally, using the technique described here.Īll that is required now is a bit of tweaking of the texture size using the Xsize and Ysize values in the Map Input tab, and scaling the pupil hole size in Edit mode. Then hit F6 or click the spotty square icon to open the texture panel, choose Image as the texture type and then press Load Image button and use the image below. Create a new material and create a new texture called iris.Move the inner loop back toward the eye a bit to form the concave shape.Without moving the extrusion, press ENTER. With the loop still selected, extrude (EKEY).Move the new loop away from the eye a bit perpendicular to the opening. Loop select the opening of the eye (ALT+RMB click edge of opening).Spec and Hard are located in the Shaders tab.) (User: Make sure shadow buttons are off or it will black out the iris. (Noob note: Using a Phong specular shader turned to work quite well.) Optionally you can use a reflection map to make it look more wet but I usually don't do this. The eye white has white color and high values for Spec and Hard (depends on the lighting), as well as a moderately high Ref value (0.700 - 0.800). The resulting hole will be ringed by 8 vertices (which you could subsequently extrude and use to help you model the sections below - just a suggestion for those who feel capable) Ctrl+Tab+3 to go into face select mode, B for border mode and select the middle 8 triangles as shown below, press Delete or the X button and LMB on Faces. To create the hole at the front of the eyeball, delete the 8 triangular faces that make up one end of the eyeball. To make the eye white, press NUM3 to go into side view and add a UVsphere with 8 segments and 8 rings.
