Light in toy bear’s glass eye
I’m trying to recreate this eye:
I’ve tried playing with caustics, using a curved glass surface on top of an iris layer, but can’t get anything with the same richness, sheen and colour. And the other problem is the lighting. If I concentrate on lighting the eye, the caustics create a lot of reflected light which is affecting the bear’s hair around the eye.
Many thanks,
John

re caustics, if surface caustics are off it should help limit light effects on the surrounding hair

Personally I would try to avoid the caustics and instead use an anisotropic metal reflection on the iris to simulate the light effect.

Hi Adam.
That certainly is very similar. Much simpler and and more effective than what I was doing. I think I misunderstood the physics of what was causing the colouring on the bed of the bead.
Thanks so much for a great solution.
Best wishes,
John
