Guide about change PC eyes color

I saw in some posts people talking about changing the eyes color, it's quite simple so just follow these steps :

Go to Program Files, open Activison folder then Bloodlines...inside open Vampire folder, go to "materials" and then "models", open "character" after that go to "pc" you will find "female" and "male", inside then will be all clan PCs except Malkavian and Nosferatu, open the one respective to the clan you want to change and go to "armor0" there will be two files named Eyeball_L and Eyeball_R, open it with your txt program you will find this :

"Eyes" { "$basetexture" "models/character/eyes/basetexture"
"$iris" "models/character/eyes/iristexture"
}

As it shows here, the first one will be the base and the second one the iris color, you just change to the color you want, an example.. if I want to use Beckett's eyes on a Tremere (I know it's weird lol) each eye have a certain code you type that I'll put in a list here, Beckett's one is "snake_red" :

"Eyes" { "$basetexture" "models/character/eyes/Eyeball"
"$iris" "models/character/eyes/snake_red"
}

Beckett's eyes cover everything so no need to change the base (normally base is set as "Eyeball", you can make the base gets black and put an red iris, wich I love. Now the list so you guys can make the way you like:

Iris Texture:

"aquastripper"
"snake_red" (Beckett's eyes)
"snake_light"
"snake_dark"
"hazel" (Knox, Samantha)
"bloody_hazel" (Mr Ox Right)
"blue_dark" (Vandal, Mercurio)
"blue_med" (Brujah female)
"blue_light" (Nines Rodrigues)
"blue_ice (Damsel)
"grey" (Toreador male)
"grey_green" (Ventrue female, Trip)
"green_emerald" (Romero)
"green_light" (Gary)
"hazel_green" (Heather, Jeanette)
"vamp_eye_smooth_inverse_greyyellow" (Pisha, Barbarus, Imalia)
"green_med" (Yukie, Lily)
"china_brown" (Tongs)
"bloody" (Bertram)
"sheriffeye" (Sheriff)
"prince" (Lacroix, VV, Jeanette Right, Therese)
"changbros" (Kanker)
"vamp_eye_swirl_mosaic ( E )
"dead" (zombies)
"undeadeyes" (zombies)
"cataract_eye"
"violet" (violet/purple)
"vamp_eye_static_blood" (Andrei)
"vamp_eye_smear_gray" (Jack)
"vamp_eye_smear_red"
"vamp_eye_smooth_pink"
"vamp_eye_smooth_inverse_darkblue"
"vamp_eye_static_stain"
"shovelhead" (Sabbath)
"shovelhead_l_eye" (sabbath)
"shovelhead_r_eye" (sabbath)
"brown_dark"
"brown_light"
"Nosferatu_eye1"
"Nosferatu_eye2"
"ming_xiao" (blue/green-Ming Xiao)
"ming_xiao2" (blue/grey-Ming Xiao)

Base Texture:

"Eyeball_black" - Black
"redglowing" - Red
"Nosferatu_eye"
"eyeball_iritated" - Mitnik's base
"eyebal_vamp1"
"eyeball2" - common eyes
"eyeball" - common eyes a little darker, default ones


Now just have fun, if you want make a backup of the actual ones, I only wouldn't recommend touching the Gangrel's eyes, Zer0 already made a nice job there.

Herb, I really like this guide so thanks for posting it. I'm going to move this to the "Ask a Question" forum and sticky it so others can learn how to customize eyes too.

Btw, Ice_Blue and Hazel were the 2 main colors I used for alot of the PC eyes, just an FYI.

No problem, i'm glad this guide helps ^^

I saw the difference in CE eyes, it's really better than the default vanilla ones (the eyes I typed in the list).Now they only need to have fun testing different base with iris or making each eye have different colors,etc

damn it , i really wanted to make my malkavian's eye's like andrei's

I found this topic on Planet Vampire today. I think, it will fit in here very good:


Well I was trying to retexure characters eyes when I ran into the repeating eye problem, after much searching I never found any way to truely fix it. Has anyone figured out this issue or should I forget about doing the eyes?

Simple. Open the eye texture's .tth file with VPKTool(in the Texture Tools tab, obviously), and check both "Clamp S" and "Clamp T". Then save. That should fix the problem.

Solution presented by Maxus Corvin.

Thank you, Herbst. The list you've provided will come in handy ;]

I don't mean to brag, but it is somewhat relevant. Anyway, here is a few examples of what I've done with some of the eyes, most of them being custom.

I'd release these if I could get rid of the lines. Some of them(like the replaced Prince and Blue_Ice ones), do not have it, but a few of them do, though it depends on what eyeball texture you use, and what effect you use(if any).

Those green Prince eyes are cool...

No, they're still the same pale blue, just a little more defined. The Blue_Ice eyes are similar(as I edited them), though a more darker blue.
