Use two spheres for the eyes. One inner and one outer. In the inner one the iris is concave and only contains the diffuse-map. It also helps if it has SSS. The outer one is convex in the iris-area and is transparent, with reflection and refraction activated. This will give you very nice eyes.

You mean that the concave part of the inner one is just the iris, isn't it?
I guess that the eye is sculpted and rendered in modo...why do you use modo?, there are several 3d aplications, i only use Zbrush and...would modo be a good choice to improve my images?

The inner sphere has a concave part only where the iris is. That same part is also where the eye-texture is.

I use modo because it's awesome. I also use 3ds max, but honestly, modo is a lot faster and more enjoyable to work with. I find it to be easier than other 3d apps too. Of course, this is all a matter of personal preference. You can get the exact same result in 3ds max and modo, but I feel modo handles the general workflow better. Modo would definitely be very good to improve your images. If you only use Zbrush, you cannot really do that high quality renderings (even in Zbrush 4). Modo is focusing a lot on rendering, so it's excellent for that.

Why dont you take a look here?

You should get a pretty good overview of what it's capable of. Also, take a look at the gallery. Some awesome stuff there!

Do you sculpt in modo?,organic characters i mean... or only do you use it for renders

Ye i'll take a look to modo...a bit spensive, do you have any basic tutorial?or a place to find it...

Yes, you can sculpt in modo, though I prefer ZBrush over it by far. For simple stuff Modo is excellent, but for more complex you cant really beat Zbrush. Also, modo is really good for hard surface modelling. I use modo for pretty much everything, from modelling, UV-mapping, some texturing, to lighting to rendering.

The Gnomon Workshop will release an introduction to Modo in september this year. Also, Digital Tutors have some good stuff. [link]

Some good books. [link] [link]

Thanks for the links the beginings are hard...the first days without been familiar with the interface are pufff...
I've been looking arround on the DAZ 3D web on Daz Studio and Bryce, mainly because is freeware, what dou you think about it?

Stay away from Bryce, DAZ, poser and stuff like that. A "proper" 3d app like modo, maya, 3ds max will produce a lot better results if you learn them well enough.

I guess that those proper app produce better results, but to start to learn some technical basiscs will be better with a freeware app, right?

How about Blender? That's a pretty good app and it's free. If you have any more question, can you email me instead? henning.sanden@gmail.com

I've tried blender long time ago and it seems me a little bit confused...it is good enough for rendering?
ok i add you to my mail directory for future questions

thanks a lot

Thanks I actually only used Zbrush very briefly on this one. Just a quick texture and some details. Nearly all the modelling was done i modo

Ah oki, I'm not familiyar with Modo, as I'm a Maya user. But I have to start learning zBrush soon, seems awesome.
Good job anyway ^^

Oh, nice. Zbrush is very awesome indeed. Just ask if you need any help with Zb
