A pair of eyes (self made textures)

Artwork Finished Projects

I’ve seen a tut of making realistic looking eyes in Maya/Max which refered to a different tutorial for making a realistic iris with photoshop. I just couldn’t resist the temptation to try do these tutorial using the Gimp and Blender :slight_smile:
This is the first time I use the Gimp for something like this… I know the basics of the program. About photoshop… never used it :expressionless: %| so I guess others might have done it much better than I did.

Here is the result:

Not sure I like the bump map in the whites, but other then that it looks good.

Damn nice eyes! I agree, the bump map on the whites is weird looking, but the iris and pupil are perfect! You should make the eyes look more “wet” though – right now they’re all dried up.

This is a small adjustment (lowered the nor value, and increased the mirror value)…
The target was trying to figure out tutorials not ment for gimp and blender to be used with them.

thanks for the crits :slight_smile:
