Hi,
Ive been experimenting with using Daz3D figures imported as obj in a Terragen scene. It all works fine except the eyes and eyelashes which just show up as grey or with eyelashes as just a solid block. Ive tried to remap the textures with image map nodes but cant get it to work. has anybody done this successfully?
Thanks
The eyelashes use a trans map. Just place it in the opacity image slot of your shader. The eyes are a different story. You will have to use a water shader for the transparent part of the eye. It is about the only option. :)
I have tried the water shader on the 'eye reflection' part, but it still looks wrong, sort of a milky grey colour.
Kinda looks like cataracts................. :o
Been there done that. I'm afraid that is the only option.
Yup...same here...no close ups of faces I guess
Even though the answers are always the same, I still like when these questions get asked.
Hope the answer will be different sooner rather than later.
Check out these links. Maybe this will help you find the answer.

I take them through Poseray, and combine 6 'eye' textures/parts into one 'part'. Lacrimal, tear, pupil, iris, and another 2. Then just apply the eye texture to that. Good enough for not too close-ups, though with an added RT reflection it might well be quite good up close, never tried that. I combine lots more into 1 part, as some parts use the same map. Needs some figuring out.
Thanks for the replies.
I have attempted to make my own eye model in Blender and place it in the eye sockets of the model. Also put a reflective shader over the top to add extra gloss.
Its a bit fiddly to line up, but should be able to use it.
Thanks again 8)
