When posing eyes in 3D models, prioritize natural gaze alignment, subtle positional tweaks, and emotion-matching lid shapes to enhance realism.
- **Gaze alignment**: Ensure both eyes focus on the same target—avoid cross-eyed or disjointed looks, which break immersion. - **Subtle variations**: Add tiny rotations or lid shifts; rigid, identical eyes appear artificial. - **Lid shape consistency**: Match lids to the pose’s emotion (e.g., relaxed for calm, raised for surprise) to keep expressions believable.
For beginners, use real-eye reference photos for similar poses—this helps replicate authentic small details without overcomplicating adjustments.
