I like this guide because its pretty much straight to the point. Not a step by step, but an overview in which you've shown the final goal and then quickly taken us through your technical process. I also like the techniques you mentioned for pulling out the iris and the way you described that the lens and iris interact with light to produce the effects you captured so well. Inspiring, for sure! Keep up the good work.

For what it's worth I think you are a great teacher. You explain so much, and give us the reasoning why you do the things you do and often tell or show multiple ways in how something is affected in rl and how that look or feel can be attained. When I watch tutorials it can be really hard if you're a newbie to get all the terminology and such and I felt really comfortable and eager to learn going through your vid :) thank you so much for sharing it is really appreciated!

Definitely the best tutorial I've seen on this subject. Great work, thank you!

[AdreyM]

This honestly works for anything really such as drawing painting or more sculpting an eye

I really appreciate your anatomical explanation, it clears up all those subtle nuances.

Hey man, great video. For those complaining about it being too fast....meh. You go over your process well, and I understand it. It's not a beginners video, and people that need that can look elsewhere. Keep up the good work!

WOW nice and quick workflow! You re the best !

[LizzyKoopa]

thank you for this tutorial, i often come back to this video on a regular basis as a good reminder.
so thanks for the good work and straight forward video.

I'm pretty new with zBrush, but your explanation at the beginning gave me an idea (and understanding!)! Thank's for that!

Hi! This video is amazing. thank you so much for the explanation! I wanted to ask you something if it's ok. When I try to extrude the pupil hole to give it volume, it breaks all my topology, even tho I'm doing exactly what you do, or so I think... any idea why that is happening to me?

[captainfantastic]

Very in-depth and cool tutorial. Thanks J.

At last a very complete tutorial about sculpting and polypainting eyes, and a gorgeous render!!! Thanks a lot for the tips! GG

[LouSaydus]

Please keep making videos, this knowledge is indispensable for some of us.

I like the pacing of this video, it's a laidback overview. Very helpful. I'm going to try this out today.

[voinchvisuals]

Thanks Jay for this tuto. I learned a lot. Keep it up dude!

[whovisionsCGI]

Yep, this is a great video to show what can be done and give us the basic idea, but obviously would need to look elsewhere for a step by step guide on creating something like this, brushes used, masks etc and where to find them in zbrush. So more geared to zbrush pro's. Still an excellent video and a brilliant end result on a very convincing eyeball. Thanks for posting.

Hey J. Its me again, commenting on an old video

Im improving as an 3d artist, and I thinks in 6 months (or less) I'll have some good stuff for my portfolio. And I wanna to thanks for being part of that

Being a brazilian artist is tough because our currency is undervalued, but I promised myself to buy your course when I start to make some money.

Keep it up with the great content and THANKS ! <3

This is the first Zbrush tutorial where I felt truly compelled to praise the author!

Thank you so much for making such an excellent and comprehensive tutorial!

Your video truly stands out in this ocean of eye tutorials that simply paint with Radial Sym on and consider it a finished eye : D
