  • In this video I'm gonna show you how to create realistic eyes in blender from scratch like a pro, also we're making lacrimal Caruncle and tear line to get very realistic results, this method works pretty good with both eevee and cycles.
    Textures i used:drive.google.com/drive/folder...
    Map Generator: Just search "NormalMap-Online" on google and click on first link
    Hdri Map I used: polyhaven.com/a/cayley_interior

    **Important** Forgot to mention, If your iris gets dark in cycles renders it's becuase of shadow of the cornea, Select the Cornea > in shading tab > Shift+A and search for "MixShader" > drop it between Pricncipled Shaders and Material Output > Shift+A and search for "Transparent" > Connect it to "Mix Shader" second shader > Shift+A and Search for "Light Path" > connect the "is shadow ray" to "Mix Shader" Fac - DONE!

      This doesn't work for me. Iris appears black inside the cornea.
      It seems that solidifying cornea helps a little bit, but there's still not enough light.
      I can make cornea completely transparent, but I can see Iris color perfectly only when the Iris is outside of the cornea.

    pro tip: to create the iris procedurally I like to use a mixture of a color ramp, and 2D noise node, and a flat UV unwrapped iris. Its better imo cause you have more control

    • @PixelicaCG
      @PixelicaCG  Před 2 lety +13

      Yes, CG cookie already has a great tutorial on that one so i stayed away from that. i agree there's much more control doing that precedurally but it's not as realistic as using textures in my opinion, unless you sculpt the iris details which is not easy for everybody specially for someone who doesn't own a tablet also sculpting it is a tutorial by itself.

It has been quite challenging for me to follow your steps, but nevertheless, I was able to complete it with excellent and desired results from my point of view. What's important is that I am satisfied and proud of my work.

    Damn this is so good and it's actually really easy.
    The hardest part is finding the iris texture, if you don't want to use your template one. There's a Blender addon where you can use geometry nodes to create the iris textures, but it does cost 40 or 50 bucks.

      maybe it's because of the color ramp you used to connect to transmission, if the transmission goes wrong obviously the center won't be transparent and the light doesnt go through and u're left with only the sclera.

    Just gonna say, I might be more personally invested in somewhat quicker, more stylized Characters for animation... (largely, my own dubious balance of work-flow, personal choice, and flat out slow speed haha) BUT these "over-the-top-realistic" tutorials help with all the tricks, insights, and methodology for taking a character or a part or some other object "as far as I want to go with it" without all the "faff" of just diving into Blender all alone and "flailing blindly at the g** d*** thing".
    It's worth pointing out that as one slips toward a more "stylized" methodology, it's an easy trap to get into just sacrificing work ethic and details... and you can lose the definitions that keep "new" Characters fresh and original... and the cast eventually reaches a point of losing diversity or even worse "looking off the shelf". It's videos like this one with an intimate approach to every aspect of the "biology of an eye" (for example) that can rescue those of us who haven't thought of that detail before...
    In any case, commenting for the algorithms and all... Great JOB, and KEEP IT UP! We notice!!! ;o)

      Just commenting bc I had the same problem with textures disappearing, if that can help someone: each time you import an image texture in Blender you have to save (alt+S) the imported file as an image in Blender, in the Texture Paint tab. Otherwise it does not fully import it and gets lost. You will see "Image*" with the asterisk in texture painting tab if you haven't saved your image properly. Cheers!
