Hello, here are some useful Maya tutorials:

Realistic eye modeling/texturing/rendering (the top 4 links)video tutorial.

however, i think only 1 person needs to model an eye and share the file, just change eye colour for each of our characters.


the basic idea, but can make changes to the shader network to make it look more interesting


There are 3 different techniques used in this tutorial, all effective. The most simple one is the Mia material which is practically just 1 button's click.

OK people, time to quicken our working pace. We need to stick to our schedule eventhough I know most of you are thinking there's no lecturer to hand in the work to, so you can relax. But seriously, if you don't want to end up spending an additional 1/2 year on the final project, you have to change your work attitude and be serious about doing your best in a good amount of time.

The dateline is set like this, if you don't know or have forgotten:
26th September (this Saturday)- finish all modeling. No extra allowance.
9th October(2 weeks from now)- finish all texturing and rigging.

After that, we want to straight ahead proceed to animation testing and the actual animation.

Also, pass your modeled characters to Terence ASAP. And no excuses like lost thumbdrives. Do what needs to be done whatever way required.

Remember that by right the deadline for this project is the end of this term, and don't be lenient with yourself.
