Materials WIP Procedural eye texture

I just had surgery last Wednesday on my clavicle to repair a non-union fracture. So I’m working one handed again. LOL not!

Anyway I saw an eyeball pack for sale on Blender Nation that was all procedural so I thought I would try my hand at it.

Here is what I got so far after about a days tinkering.

Suzanne has agreed to model my eyes as well as a fake sss skin texture I’ve been working on.


Any Ideas how to improve on this?

I spent a few more hours playing with various combinations and I can make things different but not really any better.

I’m wondering how to get the lines in the iris to fork and not having any luck doing it.

I’ll post a node tree later to see if anyone has a suggestion.
