This update brings a complete overhaul to eyes! 👀

Eyelid shadows

• Upper and lower lid contact shadows, measured from the character's own lid line every frame. They follow blinks, expression morphs and the gaze.

• Eye corner shadow, plus a lid interior shadow that darkens the inner eyelids where they touch the eye.

• Width, height, reach and softness sliders.

Iris edge

• Eye Tessellation smooths the eyeball mesh.

• Iris Edge Blend hides the hard mesh seam between iris and sclera using the character's own sclera texture, with reach, brightness and grazing-angle controls.

• Corneal Refraction: the view ray bends at the cornea with a real refractive index. Iris Depth and Iris Concavity give the pupil true parallax at side views, like a real eye.

• Iris UV Bake reads the mesh's actual mapping, so pupil morphs such as slits show correctly in the refraction.

• Pupil Uses Iris Texture, and an Export Eye UV Template button (VaM doesn't expose the pupil texture by default, this toggle enables that).

Reflection

• Finer controls over reflection brightness, sharpness, fresnel and environmental reflections.

• Eye Scene Reflections (SSR): screen space reflections that reflect the nose, eyelids and eyelashes.

• Physical Corneal Dome: the cornea is real geometry with a real silhouette. It retracts under the lids as they close, so it doesn't clip through the lids when they are closed. The shading-only bulge remains as the alternative.

• The reflection layer follows eye morphs. A Shell Clearance slider controls the offset if needed.

Tear line

• Custom Tear Line exposes the G2F's tear line which VaM doesn't expose by default: a wet line along the lower lid with adjustable reflectivity, fresnel and micro-detail.

• Tear Follows the lower lid and can be offset.

Sclera

• Procedural Sclera generates the white of the eye on the GPU: corner redness, veins, detail, bumpiness and spacing can be tweaked with sliders.

• Sclera Shell Cover hides the hard sclera and iris mesh seam.

Lashes

• Tessellated Eyelashes

COMPATIBILITY

• Follow Transparency Plugins: basic compatibility for GoingGoingGone. When a body part or group gets hidden by this plugin, DeepSkin 'releases' that area so that it can become transparent. When transparency reaches 0 DeepSkin takes that part back again.

• Auto Remove Eye Clothing: automatically removes clothing items that sit above the eyes (with an exception of lashes), so you don't have to manually remove these items from a model when loading up DeepSkin.

• Fixed issue where the SSS was floating above the genital area

• Fixed capture plugins (VRRenderer and similar) rendering the skin orange in recorded frames.

• Fixed VR double vision issue when changing the resolution scale.

OTHER CHANGES

• Wetness settings now save with the scene only, no longer with look presets.

• Sliders that do nothing while their feature is off now grey out.

• Less per-frame work in scenes with mirrors and while recording.
