The 3D-printed animal eye models pictured above were created by the Technology Development Institute in collaboration with the College of Veterinary Medicine to support veterinary student education. The models are available in four species: dog, cat, horse and rabbit.

Fresh Eyes on CMIP is a new working group integrating the voices of early career researchers, scientists and practitioners in CMIP. Researchers, scientists and practitioners early in their career provide a unique insight into climate science. Coming into the system more recently enables ECRs to have a fresh perspective on CMIP. ECRs regularly undertake the often time consuming task of generating, downloading, processing, and analysing data from CMIP and as such, have a unique, working insight into the successes and flaws of CMIP phases. Fresh eyes on CMIP would be a new working group comprised of scientists, researchers, and practitioners in the early stages of their careers to sit alongside the CMIP7 task teams. Fresh Eyes on CMIP will also work to significantly increase collaborations with scientists working in the global south.

Early career researchers (ECRs) are scientists, researchers, and practitioners in the early stages of their career. Typical definitions of ECRs suggest this period is within seven years of obtaining their highest degree (excluding career breaks). For this group, we will not impose this strict time definition but include it for reference. Application is open to all scientists, researchers and practitioners in the early stages of their career. Practitioners are those working at the interface of society, policy, practice, and research.

Any ECR can now register to join the Fresh Eyes Directory. This will lead to your name, email, and short biography becoming available to others in the Fresh Eyes Directory. Any member of the directory can then find other scientists to collaborate and network with.

Joining the directory will also ensure that you will always hear about new CMIP-relevant opportunities, events, and job adverts straight into your inbox. The Fresh Eyes on CMIP group may also reach out to the Fresh Eyes Directory with consultations and other engagement opportunities, as well as advertising when new positions in the Fresh Eyes on CMIP group become available.

CMIP is a project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) providing climate projections to understand past, present and future climate changes. CMIP and its associated data infrastructure have become essential to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other international and national climate assessments.

What i'm wondering is how you did the blinking... like if your reusing textures around the eyes, skins with shading will look terrible.... then again.. my skin doesn't have very much shading i might give it a try.

The model doesn't support the 1 pixel high steve eyes. They only work for 2 pixel high player eyes. That are either placed 1 pixel from the bottom of the head, or two pixels from the bottom of the head.

hi I have found a bug and I have a request please add lower eyelids they could add more expressive emotion and when increase the transparency it the head to can see the face on the inside of the head on the right sighd.

Data from the author's investigations and other studies are used to construct refractive dependent models. These models include a gradient index lens and aspheric corneal, lens and retinal surfaces. Elements that alter with refraction are anterior corneal radius, vitreous length and retinal shape (vertex radius of curvature and asphericity) and decentration. Two versions of the models are produced, one with centred and symmetrical optical elements, and one with tilts of the lens and decentrations and tilts of the retina. The centred model predicts increase in spherical aberration in myopia. It predicts the relative change in mean sphere in the periphery between the horizontal and vertical meridians that has been observed in a recent experimental study. It overestimates peripheral astigmatism by about 50%. The decentred version has limited success in predicting changes in peripheral refraction of average eyes.

I use a Blender page called Build_A_Bod to make mymale and female models as they have a zillion shape keys but I cant figure out how to add eyes and other textures to these models , anyone have any suggestions ? also warning these models are not appropriate for work or children.

Select your modelEnter Edit mode. Switch to vertex modeSelect eye left using CTRL+Right click: Select 1 middle point of the eye. Click on Ctrl+"+ numpad" to grow eye selection. Then switch to front view. Press "U". Select project from view.

You now have a separate UV from the body. Create a new material (yes in edit mode) and assign it to those vertices. From there on, create an eye texture by assigning a white blank texture, switch to texture paint interaction mode (1) and paint. Save image in the UV editor.

I have this model that I downloaded. I tried uploading her to Maya 2016 and she comes out mostly fine....but one thing seem to be off. On the right(UV Editor) is what her eyes should look like and on the left is what it shows up as. Any ideas what the issue could be?

Ok, thanks! I had to remove the light purple that covered the part of her surrounding eye that was suppose to be white by also increasing the Transulence and Defuse to their maximum value. I guess everything is fine now, but I won't know for sure until I review the rest of her and attempt to animate her.

If you re-import the original file, leave the color map attached to the transparency attribute. Click on the black arrow next to that field as shown below, then on the file node attribute panel that appears, uncheck "Alpha is luminance." That should make the purple go away.

Thanks for the quick reply and help. Now, I did what you said and it worked but only up until I decided to export it. The setting doesn't stay when I load it into sites like Mixamo, other applications or even try to reload it into Maya again. I'm sorry to keep bugging you about this but what option do I have to ensure that the setting sticks?

I am unsure if this info will help, but I am trying to animate her. I am trying to upload her to Mixamo then animate her, then import her into After Effects to use her in a short Youtube intro. The only issue I am having currently is her eye color. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately FBX ignores the "Alpha is Luminance" option, so that's not going to work for what you're trying to do. You may want to ask the Mixamo folks for advice on handling alpha channels in your materials. Sorry I can't be more help!

It's fine. so just to confirm there is no way to fix this issue in Maya that you know of? Would adding a bvh and rendering the model in maya fiin Maya be a solution or would the outcome remain the same?

Wolfe, Beltran, Gamm and their colleagues have been using animal models to develop gene therapies for degenerative eye diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa. However, because gene therapies currently can only save regions of the retina that retain living cells, these treatments cannot restore function to damaged areas of the retina. In this new project, the team will be developing models to study how to implant replacement adult stem cell-derived light-sensing photoreceptor cells into these damaged retinal regions. The models will enable them to test surgical techniques, evaluate how well the replacement cells are working, and determine whether the treatment restores vision.

Goldberg and colleagues study glaucoma, a condition where progressive degeneration of the optic nerve threatens vision. The optic nerve, made up of retinal ganglion cell nerve fibers, conducts visual information from the retina to the brain. This team is generating a new animal model system to study how to place new retinal ganglion cells into the eye and guide the cells' nerve fibers to appropriate regions of the brain. Success would constitute overcoming a major hurdle in the development of treatments for vision loss due to glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.

Carroll and colleagues are pursuing new small animal models that will enable translational research into diseases that affect cone photoreceptors. Their team is working with two small mammals with high cone density: the 13-lined ground squirrel and the tree shrew. Key aims of the project are to use molecular and chemical tools to generate models of cone diseases that mimic those seen in humans and to evaluate stem cell-based treatments of these disease models. Further, the team seeks to develop imaging and functional assays to assess cone structure and function, both to validate the disease models and assess the treatment efficacy.
