Coby Foden Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 In the latest Genus update the heads (both "Classic" and "Baby Face") were updated to version 1.5, and their eyes were updated to version 1.2. The issue with the eyes movement was fixed. So far so good. But then another thing appeared. These version 1.2 eyes have very strong dynamic shine on them. And the amount of shininess is not adjustable in any way, cannot even turn it off. (Only way to do it is to turn ALM off in the viewer, but who wants to do that because of the eyes only.) So, now there is one more thing for the developers to fix. Add shininess amount control for the eyes.(And while doing it add separate shininess control for the lips too, and perhaps also for the eyelids...) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit to liking the shine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I use the catwa ones myself with the genus heads..I just like'em too much and the texture place that I use only does their own or catwa..I wish they did omega or genus. I would send a note card to Rita Vanclief,I believe it is..You can probably get the information from the group..They post the customer service information all the time in there..plus I think it's in the group notices also..

Orwar Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I quite like the shine, too, at least in your gif. Though I'd definitely want an option to turn it off, or a slider for its intensity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dynamic eye shine (i.e. specularity) is nice to have, but the way it is now it really is too strong to look realistic. Thus adjustment for the intensity would be needed. There is even one more issue with the eyes. The diffuse texture has painted on highlight on the upper part of the eye. That static painted on highlight does not work well with the dynamic shine. With dynamic eye shine a diffuse eye texture with no painted on highlight would be needed. (Yeah, I'm very picky...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotelle Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I don't really like this shininess, in my case it looks like contact lenses. Also I am unable to find 2 perfect shades of green so I can do the same mix of green eyes I have when I wear Lelutka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elora Lunasea Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yea, this was done very poorly. It's extremely peculiar looking. I've been using my Genus head a LOT and this has put me off from it currently. The new update in general seems to have gone backwards instead of forwards. Disappointing.

Ceka Cianci Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Has anyone tried the previous version eyes with the updated head? I'm just curious if they work well with it. As i said earlier,i don't use the genus eyes myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangelique Amore Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Oh gosh... This issue is almost a year old now. Anyone know if they are planning to fix it? The shininess is a bit much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Voxel Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The 1.4 eyes aren't as shiny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PisiTextures Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 besides the shininess that's too much, I can't remove the sclera. I make eyes and I can't see the whole texture because there is texture on the eyes already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course the eyes have been borked, which does happen on occasion, in which case you're best off re-unpacking the head, replacing the links with a fresh pair of eye balls and tossing the old ones in the bin. Oh, and 'the right button' would be the clear layer button with a little drop on it, next to the colour picker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Heartsong Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 How do you turn off the shine for the face it's self....I would like just a mat finish....instead of looking like I went to a "Wesson" oil party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you want to open up the layer control window if it's not already.. You do that by clicking the double arrow in the upper right corner of the hud >>.. you'll see two sets of the double arrows. >> >>.. you can just click bot open if you like.. Aaaanyways, At the bottom right of the layer control window you'll see a light bulb icon. Click that off.. That's your specular light button..
