The eyes are one of the first thing you look at in a human or humanoid being. Previously, they eyes of animated character have been cut and copy, lacking much variation other than color and size. Now, with the help of six cameras with special lenses and special lights, photo-realistic eyes can be made. The eyes are constructed using multiple different layers for the different parts of the eye, the sclera, the cornea, the iris, and the eye proxy. These layers are specially textured and put together to construct a believable eye. Even the dilation of the eye was captured and replicated in the model. These new eyes can potentially increase the quality of foreground characters and improve the quality of the animated films.
I don't know how this will ever effect me, but I suppose it's good to know that photo-realistic eyes are possible. I learned that photo-realistic eyes are made possible by Disney. How do the images taken of the eye help with the modeling? Animation and modeling is becoming considerably more realistic as time progresses. Animation may one day become so realistic that it becomes tough to distinguish between animated and non-animated films.
