After having some issues with the Unity upload tool, I’m happy to report that Eye Advanced has been submitted, and hopefully will be available on the Unity Asset Store later this week.
I’d love to hear some feedback from everyone… try out the demo webplayer and give me any feedback. Also if you have any specific requests for future additions, I’m all ears.
I’ve already gotten some great feedback via email, such as making a wider zoom range for the Sclera texture and adding a custom over brightening option. Keep it coming guys! I’ll be posting an update soon!
This update adds a few tweakable controls on the shader and fixes some issues where the eyes were too bright in dark/low-light scenes. The update will be coming to the Asset Store later this week.
UPDATE: 3/1/2015 - EyeAdvanced Version 1.0.1
-NEW - “Brightness Shift” setting allows you to manually adjust overall brightness.
-NEW - “Specular Size” setting allows you to manually enlarge the size of specular reflections in the iris area.
-FIX - Overbright lighting issues in dark scenes. Eyes now respect scene brightness better.
-FIX - Sclera can now be sized wider to prevent red from showing at edges.
This update has been submitted to the store, but I’m not sure how long it will take considering GDC is on this week. Any current customers who’d like to update before it’s available on the asset store can register and download the latest on my website.

Just like to give thanks to everyone who’s purchases EyeAdvanced so far. Please drop by the asset store and leave a review/rating, they are very much appreciated! Also if you have any suggestions or requests for future updates I’d love to hear them!
Added this to my cart but got the Unity 4 asset might not work in Unity 5 warning. Can anyone confirm if this shader set works in Unity 5? Thanks in advance!
I’ve recently been toying with the idea of moving EyeAdvanced completely over to Unity 5, and re-doing the lighting model in order to automatically inherit Unity5 lighting and probes. This would mean either having a second set of shaders just for Unity 5, or simply removing 4.x support and just updating the existing shaders to require Unity 5.
I’m still undecided, so any feedback you guys have would be really appreciated
U5 support : You currently have a good product that works in 4.x, perhaps create a separate 5.x version that supports probes and any new features would require 5.x? You can zip them into separate files and let the developer choose the version right for them. Then later on if you feel that 4.x is no longer worth the trouble you can simply drop it.
Thank you!
