Creating Custom Eyes (New for 7.3)

1. First prepare a model and apply an eye template from the eye gallery.
   
2. Click the Eye Setting button found in the top Tool Bar to access the Eye Settings panel.
   
3. Choose the Eyeball - Iris radio button.
4. In the Diffuse channel, click the Import button to load the texture image for virtual eyes. (jpg, jpe, jpeg, bmp, tga, png are supported, 256x256 pixels recommended)
   

   Note:

   It is not recommended that you import an image with an alpha channel since the alpha channel will be transparent and you will see the background image through it. If you wish to adjust the color of the iris, do not load a grayscale image for the eyeballs. If your iris image is smaller and it reveals the original one, then choose the Eyeball - White radio button and then load the same texture image in the Diffuse channel.

5. In the Opacity channel, click the Import button to load the grayscale image that will decide the area of the iris. The black part will be the masked area; the white part will be fully displayed.
   
6. In the Transform section, adjust the Move or Scale values to decide the size of the eyeball. You may click and keep the Check Eyes button pressed in order to compare with the original.
7. In the Color section, adjust the values for Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation.

There are three sections in the panel involved in the designing of light shapes; the Opacity channel, the Transform, and the Opacity/Blur sections.

1. Click the Eye Setting button at the top Tool Bar to access the Eye Settings panel.
   
2. Press down the Left and/or Right buttons to determine whether you want to individually adjust both eyes.

3. Choose the Eye Light radio button.
4. In the Opacity channel, click the Import button to load a grayscale image that will decide the shape of the eye light and imply the direction of the light. The black part will get cut out; the white part will be fully displayed; the gray values determine the transparency (alpha) level of the object.
   
5. In the Transform section, adjust the position and the size of the eye light.
   
6. In the Opacity/Blur section, adjust the value of the Opacity and Blur to decrease the overall-sharpness appearance.

After creating custom eyeballs and designing the light shape in the previous sections, you may then follow the same rules to add eye shadows, eyelashes, and makeup effects.

1. Choose the Eye Shadow radio button.
2. In the Diffuse channel, click the Import button to load an image of solid color that will imply the color of the dark area.
   
3. In the Color section, adjust the values for Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation.
   
4. In the Opacity/Blur section, adjust the value of the Opacity and Blur to decrease the overall-sharpness appearance.
5. Choose the Eyelash radio button, and adjust the length of the eyelashes.

   Note:

   The default image of the Diffuse and Opacity channels represent the eyelashes of the left and right eyes. When you adjust an individual eye, the default image of the Diffuse channel and the Opacity channel represent the open and closed eyes. Because you cannot measure the distance between the left eye and the right eye, then it is not recommended to import custom images through the Diffuse and Opacity channels.

6. Choose the Make up radio button, and adjust the makeup.

   Note:

   The default image of the Diffuse channel and the Opacity channel represent the makeup of the left and right eyes. Because you cannot measure the distance between the left eye and the right eye, then it is not recommended to import custom images through the Diffuse and Opacity channels.

7. Now the custom eyes are done.
   
8. Switch the Content Manager to Actor >> Eye, and add the custom eyes into the Custom Library for future use.
