Now, how you model your eye is really going to depend on your character and how you want to animate the eye and the realism and so on. But typically, this method will work for almost any type of eye. So I've got this eye here and it's a little bit more realistic. So I actually have a hole where the pupil is and then we have the sclera here and then the rest of the eyeball.
