This is an ongoing Look Development project that started while working on a Symbiote and evolved into a personal exploration at home. I'll keep updating this gallery with new eyes renders! The idea was to create a flexible simple base eye setup that I could reuse for future quick projects while still maintaining high-quality details.
For the irises, I used scanned data from TexturingXYZ for the base, completely resculpted and with some repaint, enhancing the bump details and blending this somes displacement maps for extra depth. The sclera is a mix of hand-painted details, scan photgraphy and real-life references I merged to get a natural feel.
