hmm, you've got the design done well, but i see one problem; the iris looks too receeded into the eye. so, the end effect is like having a lifesaver candy set over a ball or something. the iris shld follow the curve of the eye and not receed at its edges.

Most likely, this is caused by the JPEG compression. Since the previews are rendered automatically without human intervention, we can't fine-tune the compression level for each picture individually.

ah, ok.

Ok...this is more than an update to this filter, it is a complete rebuilding of it from scratch.
The previous one was made out of components of other filters (before I really understood the inner workings of FF), and it never really did what I wanted it to anyway.
This one is designed for texture artists to use in ways that texture artists would need.
There is no added shines or bevels to the texture, because that comes with the final rendering of the actual object the texture is applied to.
This one also has the ability to render out the seperate elements (iris, eyewhite, etc) on a transparent background, so that it can be easily manipulated into position on a texture map.
I hope that this will make this filter infinatly more useful.
