@ cobaltdream,

Quote - lesbentley - what would you think of parented props?

Parented props are OK. If the prop eyes were parented to the real eyes, then all the ERC stuff for eyelids, moving both eyes at once, and whatever would still work. I still tend the favour geometry swapping with a geomChan, as it seems a bit neater and quicker to me, but there is nothing major wrong with using smart props for the eyes, that I can think of.

@ MikeJ,

As far as the geometry goes, I think your eyes look great. There seems to be too much specularity on the sclera, and perhaps even on the cornea, and I think that is what accounts for a lot of the "glass eye" look. As for JOELGLAINE's point "I think the sclera needs to hide a bit more of the iris by making the iris smaller." Perhaps, but I find it hard to judge without seeing the eye in a head.
