Almost certainly not, I'm afraid. In any event it's a 3Delight product, unless updated, while most content today is likely to be set up for Iray.

Hello Richard, I'm just wondering? How exactly is to make an actual eye reflection map? I'm not asking about how to add a shine to the eyes using photoshop in post work, what I'm asking is how to make a product like 'eye set for genesis 8' or eye twinkle for genesis 8? I understand that making a professional product require actual skill and tons of learning/ hard work. And I'm fine with that. I'm not looking to create a professional level eye reflection maps bundle to sell, i'm just looking to make a few fake eye reflections of my choice so I can easily add them to any situation.

Thank in advance for any help.

Ideallyyypu have things in the scene to reflect (if only an HDR environment) but you can paint your own reflections onto a map and apply it to the eye surface, using the template to guide its placement. Usually you would want a map for the colours and a mask (black where there should be no reflection shading to near white in the areas where the reflection will show) which you can use to cotrnol the effect - e.g. Duiffuse overlay strength (the mask) and colour (the actual image).

Is there a guide somewhere which i can follow, maybe? Because being pretty new to all this stuff, it would take a long time for me to figure things step by step. Any case I searched all over the web for a guide before and didn't find one. So i won't be surprised if there isn't a guide at all. In that case I'd be truly greatful if you point me to some learning sources related to this. I mean after all the developers who made those products have to learn from somewhere right?

One final thing kind sir, If I were to hire someone to do this work for me (I want him to create me 3-4 studio type eye reflection maps,(likes of which you see in the eyes of the movie actors.)how much you think that's going to cost me?

Will something like 25-30$ would be suffice? If that's so then where can I hire someone with the knowledge and legitimacy?
