Goal
The eyeball is one of the most important aspects of character design. The eyes give life to a character; no matter how good your animation is "dead" eyes will always make a character look doll-like. This project will hope to use some techniques that we can make believable eyes.

Design
1. Take a picture of real eyeball and try to paint photo
2. The eye is modeled in 4 parts (white, Pupil, Cornea and Iris).
3. The actual geometry of the eye ball
4. Projecting the eye texture
5. The shaders and lighting the eye
7. Animating the eyeballs
8. Additional images showing the eyes in action

Methods
1. Use Photoshoh7 and 3dsMax8 to create the eyeballs.
2. Real eye makes depends on 3 factors: the actual geometry, shaders, and lighting.
3. Write C++ and DirectX codes to control the eyeballs moving.
4. Add the other modules like eyelids, eyelashes and else…
5. Show some emotions like happy, angry, sad or doubt.

3rd week (2/15~2/21): Write controlling codes
4th week ( 2/22~2/28): Final presentation
