Eye Creator Collection
Eye Creator Collection is an add-on for Blender specifically designed for procedural 3D eye creation and customization. Instead of having to manually sculpt, texture, and set up complex material layers, EyeForge provides an all-in-one interface that allows you to control every aspect of your eyes by adjusting sliders and parameters.
Learn to rig a fully procedural cartoon eyelid in Blender. This is a really flexible setup that allows expressive lid shapes, automatic blinking and even a dynamic wrinkle system.
Features
- Procedural Eye Generation: This is the heart of EyeForge. Everything from the iris shape and pupil dilation to the veins and colors are generated algorithmically, allowing you to create countless unique eye variations without the need for hand-drawn textures.
- In-Depth Iris Customization:
- Layers and Pigments: Easily adjust primary and secondary colors, and add complex pigment layers to create eyes with incredible depth.
- Iris Patterns: Choose and customize a variety of patterns, from simple veins to complex fiber-like structures.
- Limbal Ring: Control the thickness, opacity, and color of the dark ring around the iris, a small but crucial detail for realism.
- Cornea & Sclera Effects:
- Veins: Automatically creates a realistic network of blood vessels on the sclera (white of the eye), with customizable density, color, and clarity.
- Wetness: Built-in Cornea with accurate refraction and reflection, creating a “wet” and sparkling feeling for the eyes.
- Caustics: Simulates the effect of light converging through the cornea, creating subtle light streaks at the bottom of the iris, a detail often seen in macro photography.
- Pupil Dilation: Easily control the size of the pupil with a single slider, perfect for animating character expressions (fear, surprise) or reactions to light.
- Perfect Integration: EyeForge creates a simple eye rig that you can easily attach to your character and control the direction of your eyes intuitively.
- Compatible with Cycles and Eevee: EyeForge materials are optimized to work perfectly with both of Blender’s most powerful renderers, giving you maximum flexibility in your workflow.
- Model the Eyelids: Create the upper and lower eyelids using mesh objects. Ensure they are properly shaped to fit the eye model.
- Add Shape Keys: Select the eyelid mesh, go to the Object Data Properties tab, and add shape keys for different eyelid positions (e.g., open, closed).
- Create Drivers: Right-click on the value of a shape key and select “Add Driver.” Use a bone’s rotation or a custom property as the driver to control the eyelid movement.
- Add Armature: Create an armature (bones) for your character’s face, placing bones around the eye area to control the eyelids.
- Parenting: Parent the eyelid meshes to the armature. Select the eyelid, then shift-select the armature and press Ctrl + P to parent with automatic weights.
- Weight Painting: Fine-tune the weights to ensure the eyelids deform correctly with the bone movements.
- Test Animation: Create a simple animation to test the eyelid rig by moving the controlling bones.
