Cartoon Eyes

[ThirdEye]

The lens is convex to get a good specular, and the iris is concave to achieve a kind of pixar-like effect.

Heh, funniest thing is Pixar uses perfect spheres for their eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, do they? Well I guess their iris shader is a bit more complex than mine. Anyway, I didn't get any effect in this quality without deforming the iris. ;-)

Have you tried messing with specular maps? If the eyeballs won't be seen at an extreme angle you can just use a map to simulate the highlights, that way you won't have to waste the geometry on the extra deforms. Just a thought. I took a look at your site, some real nice stuff! Thanks a lot, Jack.

Thanks Jack.

we face two limitation when duplicating pixars eye shader,

1)we can't have multiple bumps on the same spot (like both a positive and a negative) and

2)we can't get two separate speculars for each bump either.

So I use two perfect spheres, 1, just 0.001 mm bigger than the others, which a lens material, that has a positive instead of a negative bump, and a much sharper highlight.

the simplified tutorial for my eyes should be going up on cineveristy soon. SOme extra controls like the seperated highlight that you can place won't be covered.
