Sonic Style Blender Eye Rig

I've been showing previews of my current project (Vice) to people and have gotten frequent questions about the eye rig because Sonic characters have that monoball thing and attaching a disc to the surface always looks... well, not great. So here's a quick showcase on how I put it together.

The Vice rig will be dropping in a few days, so keep an eye out for that!

Oh my god, I can't explain that feeling when I found the exact tutorial that I needed in under 10 mins! No, I'm not crying, it's just a gradient in my eye

Not sure if others have this issue. 6:05 Mine didn't show the drivers, but I figured it out pretty fast.
In the drivers window, if you click the Filter icon, a drop down box will appear. The very top option of that drop down will say "Only show selected" it will be blue, click it. Drivers will display.

I've never seen this happen before, but it's a easy fix.

Thank you so much for this! Your instructions are clear and precise for a beginner like me, and I love that you say what the node is categorized as before pulling it out so that I can find it easy. This works great!

Truly fate how in the sea or realistic eyes I stumbled upon this while modeling a robot with a screen for a face! It’s exactly what I was after :)

Great tuto! love the jokes and the singing..it wouldn't be the same without it. Thanks man 🤜🤛

it would be really helpful if you could make a follow up to this video showing how to apply this texture to both eyes and set up the rigging!

[tux]

Yeah...I'll try this out. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[itsdurao]

this tutorial was a lot easier to follow than most other tutorials, but now i have no idea how to actually add this onto a character lol

Thank god i found this...i could not figure out for thelife of me what kind of eyes would fit my charater and then i found this! Literal life saver

[trinitysummers]

i would love a video showing the eyelid/eyebrows, or how to make eye outlines/lashes like she has too!! there aren't many tutorials for that stuff that isn't realistic human eyes

0:28 How did you made the glosspot for the eyes?

If anyone is having problems for the Y axis driver it is because you need to click the Y Driver thing and and then set the location[0] thing to one then it should work.

Holw f*** what an amazing video. Funny, clear, concise, to the point, and it shows off something hard to find information on?? Dude thank you so much!

[ludograves]

Now show us how to rig the eyelids and eyebrows. I got this one down all ready but making expressions is hard. Like I can make some slight expressions but I cant make really angry eyes without having the forehead looking like its collapsing and stretching or pinching and clipping. And then trying to get the lashes or eyeliner to move along with it without having it to get too thick and exposed or disappear because of the clipping is annoying too. So far I can only make shape keys but even with that i have trouble with clipping. Having to make the eyelids to smoothly slide over their eyes along the curvature and shape is always a mystery for me. Tried looking into the generations models and the eye lid rig is useless and hard to use.

Wow this is like exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!
