CG Eyes

[mr-bojangles]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good tutorial that explained how to create eyes that look the same way as the ones used in Ice age and monsters inc......i.e very glossy! I have a cartoon character which needs big wet looking eyes! I've tried a few methods...but I'm not getting the right look....using specularity and reflection doesn't give that wet look that I'm after!

I'm also wondering whether I may have to model the eye with a cornea, pupil etc. etc. so that it's a little more closer to that of a human one (although this does seem alittle over the top).

Any ideas would be great.

just to mention that I've seen the tutorial on ed harriss's website (David Alonso), but I think the translation at some point was misinterpreted, especially when some fundemental procedures are explained (no offence David , it still helped me loads!), as it becomes very hard to follow.
