Looks great to me Jay. If I had to say something, it looks to me like the cornea bulge is a bit too pronounced, it could just be the angle/lighting though. Also, are you planning to use a separate piece of geometry for the tear duct, or model it right into the eye geo?

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Hey John

Yeah, it is at the moment, I am using it as a guide to match the eye texture up as near as possible.

Tearducts will be separate geo, for better control in the render.

cheers

well I wouldnt get too scared boys, as I said I was using the sharper edges to use as a line up between the textures top and bottom of the eyes to make sure the scale was correct.

anyway onwards, just added tearducts

Yikes... is that expected in your position, are you a workaholic, or are you getting paid by the hour user added image

I'm not adverse to long days, but just wondering what the expectations are... good luck!

Have an update, just very small tweaks around the eyes, that have made a considerable difference. Hopefully Zbrushing the skin this evening.

Stwrt> In a nut shell when crunch time looms its all hands on deck. Generally though the days are pretty good, 3am finishes are not a regualr. The other thing with films to that because they have a set deadline you have to keep it on schedule otherwise the film company gets a hefty fine from a distributor. Business is business I guess.

anyway enjoy the update

Jay
