Progress of a ZBrush eye from a Polymesh3D sphere to a colored eyeball, plastic materials and Polypainted texture for the sclera, iris and pupil Making the eye and beginning to Polypaint In future tips we will explore using this same technique for sculpting objects - but for now, let's look at an eyeball! Download assets for this free tutorial. Then, using a Standard brush and radial symmetry, we'll paint the eye as if it is was kaleidoscope.

This quick tip explains how to make the eyeball, and use Polypaint to add initial color and material. But, sometimes, I want more control, and want to actually paint the eyeball from scratch.
