Tiny Eye

What is Tiny Eye?

rendered with cycles

Tiny Eye is a FREE, fully procedural, stylised eye that works in Eevee and Cycles (Blender). Since I put this together to speed up my workflow, it was crucial that the properties remain Minimal & Straightforward.

I'd love to see it used in your works! #tinyeyeb3d

FAQ:

• Q1 - How do you bake/export textures?
  A1 - At the moment, you would have to dive into the Node groups and bake textures the old school way. Honestly, I made this eye to work only in Blender because it’s where I do all my works. But I promise once I find a solution and have the time, I’ll drop an update including a demo vid.
• Q2 - Why can't I see the eye after dropping it into the scene?
  A2 - Since Tiny Eye was modelled according to scale (25mm in Diameter), it's really small. After dragging it into the scene:
  1. Make sure the Eyeball is selected
  2. press Alt + G to reset it's location
  3. Then press Numpad "." or F3 and search for "Frame Selected"
• Q3 - Why does the Iris appear black?
  A3 - Under “Render Properties”, scroll down to “Light Paths” and increase “Transparent Light Paths” until it's no longer black.
• Q4 - Why is the default blend file in version 3.3.1?
  A4 - Because they revised the mix node in version 3.4 onwards. Since it’s forward compatible, it will work just fine in later versions.
• Q5 • Why is it so laggy?
