Incredible timing with the video, this is just what I need right now.

[@artofjhill]

Awesome, hope it helps!

[@mariolopez-oi2td]

The boy is back with one more banger to end the year!

[@artofjhill]

Haha thanks dude

[@mariolopez-oi2td]

@@artofjhill You post I click. I try not to overcomplicate.

[@lizinLOD]

Literally, the timing of this video is absolutely perfect! There are very little resources on how to create eyes for games, I appreciate J!

[@artofjhill]

Happy to hear that! Hope it helps

[@NeiliOff]

What a coincidence... There is one thing I would like to develop in my art, or even become an expert: eyes, gazes. I love eyes, the look, the more I think about it, the more it obsesses me and here I come across your new video. I'm about to enjoy !

[@rohanr1925]

Such a helpful video, thank you so much, J!

[@fangsclub84]

I figured it out by accident 2 week ago when I was doing the assignment. Honestly it’s really fun to do !!!

[@PixilGraphics]

The intro is amazing, just like all of your videos, J!

[@artofjhill]

As always fascinating to see your videos.

[@gautamverma9694]

my Man rocked again..!

[@Mikefiser]

In Unity, there is an Eye Advanced Free Asset that has paralax realistic shaders for eyes as well. You should talk about Lighting for Eyes as well, how to make them look alive and convincing (I know a lot of games and animated movies have lights that are only madeonly for reflections. There is a lot of fake stuff that goes into lighting for good eyes. F.e. Kingdom Come Deliverence had pretty dead eyes in the first game because the lighting was realistic, even though the eye shader was good.

[@artemis-oul3862]

Really good quality video, and education. Thanks for your video

[@iluv3dcr]

Huge trick!!! Thanks Master!

[@fuadmelikov515]

Thanks man

[@dewaalf]

Thanks for sharing this J!!

[@artofjhill]

You got it!

[@M_k-zi3tn]

I still use your old free eye model for most of my personal projects. It's a great asset.

[@artofjhill]

Awesome love to hear that

[@FilmryStudios]

WTF YOURE AMAZING

[@benjieteyen7303]

Sick intro woww!!❤

[@noware.3D]

Your my hero J Hilly

[@n.s.9941]

wow thank you ❤

[@persimon7809]

14:31 I don't have any eye-color slots there help(((

[@artofjhill]

Are you using the material from the download link or the original metahuman one? DM me

[@javadsharifdini81]

Useful video, thanks a million🙏🙏

[@nashonightmare]

Pretty cool stuff! I always wondered how they animate this kind of meshes. I mean even if you properly vertex painted all those eye, eyelids, eye lashes, lacrimal fluid mesh and shadow mesh would pop out some glitches, right?. Merry Christmass J!

[@matteostella3029]

That looks great, it's a fantastic piece of information. I have a question: what if you need to fake reflections on the cornea? in low light environments for instance?

[@artofjhill]

You could plug in a texture for the reflections to fake it

[@Meteotrance]

I search that kind of eyes illusion and hair card trick for the eyelash and hair for decade, this is how optimisation came for real time stuff ...

[@toddsorensen1006]

Damn fire intro!!

[@elvismorellidigitalvisuala6211]

Cool, that's the same method that I use for my own characters eyes. The only thing I've never fixed, is the path tracing that wont work, eye occlusions will be not rendered.

[@artofjhill]

You don’t need any extra eye occlusion meshes or textures for path tracing since that’s an unbiased render and creates the shadows naturally

[@christiaanpaulsen3974]

Sick intro!

[@OBadjaya]

Thanks!!!!!❤

[@artofjhill]

You got it! Hope it helps

[@blacksage3429]

I wonder what ashen one's eyes look like , or tarnished even

[@justjoe6614]

Couldn't you also use a clearcoat shader to get the same effect as using a separate mesh for the lens?

[@artofjhill]

You’d be missing the refraction effect that parallax is providing. The eye shader has two specular reflections like clear coat already

[@Lv7-L30N]

Gracias

[@Kata-oy4gl]

finally !!!!

[@tonyc4777]

very useful info J! Do you know how to create the eye AO and lacrimal meshes? Or do you have any tips on transferring the meshes from the metahuman resource?

[@milagrosBatias-jv1cz]

Siiiiiiii por fin Bro

[@naghi_hamidi_art]

cool tips

[@sajans3998]

You look good on clean shave man. :)

[@apocalipzdec]

Houdini Iris generator from weta fx look good 0:18

[@artofjhill]

I know that shits crazy

[@DrunkToad_]

As someone currently continuing creating a character for a module just gone this has been amazing thank you so much! Espically as a student where the money is tight to afford such an amazing tutorial!!

[@artofjhill]

[@Feefunn]

This is for games ? So what about animation films ?

[@nicolaslozanovalencia]

Epic intro 🔥

[@artofjhill]

🙏

[@Daniel_Vital]

I always wondered... do you have any interest in creating game environments? You must have done some in the past at least ^^

[@mastjappa]

This is not nerdy at all, it is called professional.

[@FilmryStudios]

THIS WHAT A GOT DAM TUTORIAL IS .... LIKE JESUS CHRIST!!!! WHY CANT OTHER ARTISTS BE LIKE THIS ! YOU EXPLAIN THE WHAT, WHY, HOW AND THEN YOU SHOW IT

[@artofjhill]

haha ty

[@simonRTJ]

the biggest turn off for eys in games is the same critism i had of early cgi and even today it creeps in, scleral glow. I know why they do it, but its not necessary. Illuminated eyes are very distracting.

[@kelvincoleman1524]

adopt me, please🙏😂

[@SeanMaxhell]

Sure, sure, focus on the characters' eyes and make crappy games, while FromSoftware doesn’t care and just keeps making masterpieces.

[@landonwarnick]

I mean, this is a segment for a character art class, for character artists, not game designers, so it makes sense to focus on the art

[@sokol9187]

Take a shower. You always look so beat

[@muhamed7555]

Ello sir i have question about modeling a character for a mobile game how can i make it the best of quality with best of performance like how many polys is good for mobile game i know it might not be your area of expertise but if you have any info please share. and thanks for your high quality vids on youtube i really appreciate it
