Hello friends.

I am back with a new shader tree.

I know there are already some really cool eye shader trees out there, like the one by Lucas Falcao f.e., but I tried it and made an own.

You can get it on my gumroad shop if you like. Here is the link to my shop: gumroad.com/taros

Or you support the Blender foundation and get the material on Blendermarket:

Click the video on YouTube for detailed description.

Here are the stats and some examples.

What does the download include:
Five cool eye presets are included in this package. Feel free to use them as a starting point for your own variations!

Your results can be baked optionally into textures by using Blenders internal bake system.

  • Add an iris shadow and customise its position and smoothness
  • Customise pupil size and color

Package includes
  • .blend file ( Created in Blender version 2.79 )

Can this make a animal eye (like a oblong iris) ?

Hi Chris.

No, not yet…
I am working on this feature and will release it in one of the future updates.

Currently (v.1.2) the AddOn is limited to create round procedural eyes.

Best wishes

Hi friends.

I have released a new update for my CW Eye Material.

Changes for v1.2:

  • Sclera cloud effect added. Values like cloud color, size, blur factor and variations can be altered
  • Iris border blur effect improved
  • Complete Iris patterns can be baked in greyscale bumpmap now
  • Iris pattern bumpmap effect expanded: Pattern create bumpmaps now
  • Iris pattern bumpmaps are individual and have no influence to the main cornea reflection
  • No external diffuse node for bumpmap baking needed

Customers can download the update for free.

I am on Blendermarket now, too. So if you want to support the Blender foundation you can do it by buing my AddOn there.

See my video on YouTube for detailed v1.2 update descriptions:

Thank you
Chris

Hi friends.

I have released a small but important update for my CW Eye Material.

Changes for v1.3:

  • Customisable Iris shadows with color, intensity, position and smoothness settings.

Use the new iris shadows to simulate depth. The iris shadow direction is dynamic and can be animated if you are familiar with Blenders driver system. Creating much more natural looking eyes is possible now.

This feature update is free for all customers, as always.
