**Important** Forgot to mention, If your iris gets dark in cycles renders it's becuase of shadow of the cornea, Select the Cornea > in shading tab > Shift+A and search for "MixShader" > drop it between Pricncipled Shaders and Material Output > Shift+A and search for "Transparent" > Connect it to "Mix Shader" second shader > Shift+A and Search for "Light Path" > connect the "is shadow ray" to "Mix Shader" Fac - DONE!
This doesn't work for me. Iris appears black inside the cornea. It seems that solidifying cornea helps a little bit, but there's still not enough light. I can make cornea completely transparent, but I can see Iris color perfectly only when the Iris is outside of the cornea.
when texture painting the iris, how do you get the image to be translucent, to see the map under it, and how do you lock it to the position you want so mousewheeling doesn't mess up your size?
OMG the stencil feature, how did I not know about it?! I've been manually placing graphics on UV using photoshop/krita this whole timeeee thank you so much!
pro tip: to create the iris procedurally I like to use a mixture of a color ramp, and 2D noise node, and a flat UV unwrapped iris. Its better imo cause you have more control
Yes, CG cookie already has a great tutorial on that one so i stayed away from that. i agree there's much more control doing that precedurally but it's not as realistic as using textures in my opinion, unless you sculpt the iris details which is not easy for everybody specially for someone who doesn't own a tablet also sculpting it is a tutorial by itself.
@@PixelicaCG yea I mostly create stylized characters so it’s fine for me to compromise on the detail part. Great video though. It’s crazy how i still managed to learn more tricks by watching it even after using blender for over 5 years
hey! Your tutorial is the only one that has been really useful so far. I would like to know the name of the program you use to show which key you are pressing on the screen
4:30 you can actually find a lot of similarities in nature by looking for the branching fractal pattern that both veins and lightning have. Tree branches are another cool example of this, neat stuff. awesome tutorial by the way
1:33 My proportional editing doesn't work like yours does; as soon as I press G, it moves the whole iris-selection along the y-axis instead of reshaping/flattening it like yours did...
LMAO I 100% was with you but then I replayed it 30 more times before read that the screen says scroll the wheel at the same time, I felt so dumb getting stuck on this little missed detail hahah the learning curve man, i got it now tho lol
@@BLuWoe I still cant move it without moving the entire iris. As soon as i scroll the wheel nothing happens and if i move the mouse, still moving the entire iris
Damn this is so good and it's actually really easy. The hardest part is finding the iris texture, if you don't want to use your template one. There's a Blender addon where you can use geometry nodes to create the iris textures, but it does cost 40 or 50 bucks.
Hi, very useful but I have a problem, when I copy the eye in my body's "window" the iris is transparent, it's here but the sclera above reflect the world and we can't see the iris but in the eye "window" everything is fine can you please help me?
To the question of whether it has been tough to make this tutorial, the answer is that I was on the verge of throwing my laptop out the window, hahaha. It has been quite challenging for me to follow your steps, but nevertheless, I was able to complete it with excellent and desired results from my point of view. What's important is that I am satisfied and proud of my work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and please keep making more tutorial videos like this one in Blender, as I only use this program and I am subscribed to your channel. Best regards.
your tutorial are amazing... even if I slower down the speed it is still too high ahahah... it is really helpful, I've learnt a lot from this video thanks a lot!
i don't know why but my blender settings is totally deffirent, maby it because of blender's updates, i dont even find the subsurface scattering icon, because of this i was very disappointed. if u don't mind can u tell me how to fix that problem please😊. and thank u at anyway💙
Love you MAn ..Finaly get Full understanding how to turn on Refractions.. SO EASY.. THX .Apreacheate.. Finally .. Haw 1000 tutorials lookt this is the perfect one :NOICE
am trying to render this project in cycles engine, the iris is turning black, does anyone face the same problem or have solution for it?(it renders really well in evee engine tho but i'd also love to see this render in cycles)
how did you made eyelashes and eyebrows? Was it the way of your another video using image texture on shading mode? btw always I appreciate of your awesome tutorials. It really helps me a lot.
i am having difficulty scaling it and positioning in edit mode. The iris dissapears when i shrink it. Maybe something to do with the shading editor texture coordinates???
Thank u 💓, for anyone had a problem with the iris ( looked black ) go and check in texture paint if the iris still there, my iris got delete it i don't know why but i do it aging and it worked
Just gonna say, I might be more personally invested in somewhat quicker, more stylized Characters for animation... (largely, my own dubious balance of work-flow, personal choice, and flat out slow speed haha) BUT these "over-the-top-realistic" tutorials help with all the tricks, insights, and methodology for taking a character or a part or some other object "as far as I want to go with it" without all the "faff" of just diving into Blender all alone and "flailing blindly at the g** d*** thing". It's worth pointing out that as one slips toward a more "stylized" methodology, it's an easy trap to get into just sacrificing work ethic and details... and you can lose the definitions that keep "new" Characters fresh and original... and the cast eventually reaches a point of losing diversity or even worse "looking off the shelf". It's videos like this one with an intimate approach to every aspect of the "biology of an eye" (for example) that can rescue those of us who haven't thought of that detail before... In any case, commenting for the algorithms and all... Great JOB, and KEEP IT UP! We notice!!! ;o)
Left window in the tool menu under texture, I made a red rectangular where you should click, mouse jump in that second so i assume it was hard to follow.
Frst of all, great chanel!! good explaining tutorials, short and objective! But i do have a problem on this one. When i use the Colorramp, and turn the NodeWrangler addon on, and also the screen space reflection. the materials apears very Metalic, and it does not let see de iris. Can u help?
I'm making a character and I am having trouble fitting the cartoon eye in the socket because it is oval eye sockeye instead of regular eye sockets any tips and tricks so I don't see the inside of the hollow head?
Hi there, thanks for sharing your konwlege. I followed all the steps but when it finished i only got a perfect white and sparkly ball. No iris paint nor veins nor red back of the cornea. Please, can you tell what am I doing wrong? Thank you.
maybe it's because of the color ramp you used to connect to transmission, if the transmission goes wrong obviously the center won't be transparent and the light doesnt go through and u're left with only the sclera.
Im trying to find comments here that might have the same problem i had but I guess i couldn't find an answer. The problem I had was my normals showing in the back side of the mesh with the iris. I tried flipping normals but it doesnt seem to work. The details are just showing at the opposite side. Anyone got ideas?
When I added the color ramp, gradient texture, etc. On the tear duct they didn't appear. Also when I try to add texture in sculpting it doesn't show up like yours
I've rewatched this video 100 times and haven't managed to get past 4 minutes, the super fast talking and the fact that I have to follow the button map as well because you don't tell us a lot is like, nigga this is like tryna beat a game on hard. Please help us
I’ll be honest, I don’t know exactly what I’m doing wrong, but I can’t see the iris through the cornea, it just gives me the reflection of the space surrounding the object.
Wtf, why is my PC so lagging on the moment of bluring the red color? It's just painting! My computer is still when i'm running War Thunder on the cinema graphics and now that
8:22 hey am i supposed too export the sclera texture or what? you didn't really specify how to get that map, most of you're audience are beginners and those really small details matter.
I have never cursed as much as I have ever done in my life sadly with this tutorial, the textures of the eye keep dissapearing, things go wrong all the time and you do stuff rather quick so its hard to keep up even with pausing 1200 times
Just commenting bc I had the same problem with textures disappearing, if that can help someone: each time you import an image texture in Blender you have to save (alt+S) the imported file as an image in Blender, in the Texture Paint tab. Otherwise it does not fully import it and gets lost. You will see "Image*" with the asterisk in texture painting tab if you haven't saved your image properly. Cheers!
@@chrisshriver1401 wrong he leaves out a shit ton of info and you end up looking up about 20% of the things hes not telling you like exporting the scelara map to upload it to the mapping page then i doenload it and its still garbage.
Well, at least we can be extremely glad he doesn’t also smash the text in a giant font in the middle of the screen, word by word at machine gun speed, with jelly animation and all. Talking about useless trends in vlogging.

when painting, nothing happens to the image! (2:29)@@PixelicaCG
