Thanks for Samuel Poirier alias Vimmy for sharing some materials settings on cgfeedback.com: http://www.cgfeedback.com/cgfeedback/showthread.php?t=414 I decided to continue some old vray eyes render tests during my christmas holidays but this time in 3dsmax instead of Maya. I was finally able to have some interesting refraction on the side view which wasn't the case a while ago when I started experimenting vray. I still have a lot to learn so I'll probably make those eyes look better later. Extra notes: I'm using sIBL to setup the environment and basic lighting and added a subtle vray light for the "squarish" highlight. The eye is also 24mm of diameter.

Quick reel editing I made those last weeks based on effects I participated at Eidos Montreal and Trapdoor Inc.

I also worked on a demo called Heist again using Unreal. This demo is all real-time. If you want to see the complete shot: https://vimeo.com/44393069

//This week we had to execute a straigth leg, bent and the bones on the knee part. Here are the results:

// This week we had to concentrate on the hands. We had to take advantage of using our own hands as reference. Here are the results.

// This week we had to concentrate on the arm. Please excuse the lack of attention the hand received since I was focusing mainly on the arm itself. :) Here is a 90 degrees supinated and pronated as well as a pronated extended arm.
