shiny eyeball

[Michael Szalapski]

I have had to recreate reflections before. The glossiness of an object is built with reflections.
You could try bevel on the eye a bit, but it’s more likely going to be adding in white bits (or actual footage screened) to create a good glossiness.

Thank you, O Greatly Not-So-Great One. What you said makes a lot of sense — I’ll try it!

Glue down a ping-pong ball, shoot it, then slather it in vaseline.

Apply difference matte between the two versions. I can’t say for sure how well that will work, but at least if you have to do it by hand you’ll know what you want it to look like.
