Need help with double sided eyes preset!

[Wolflover224]

So I'm making a wolfdog preset for myself, and I looked at the double-eye tutorials because he has heterochromia. However, I tried everything, and it didn't work. Help?

Thanks,
Ashyak

I think she means bi color eyes. One eye blue and one grey? Idk.

Like, have one eye one colour and have the other a different one? Or do you mean having two different colours in an eye?

Heterochromia is (almost always) two different colored eyes, as OP said, so I'm going to assume that's that and try to explain.
Likuu's advice is helpful and is basically all you need - although her links are not eye specific. Double sided presets are easy enough when you get the hang of them!

Open up your .MATERIAL file in a text editor, such as notepad. If you scroll down far enough, you should see a code that looks like so: (numbers differ depending on your file; if you copy & paste just press control+H in notepad to replace preset_10 with preset_(#) so there're no errors)

material preset_10_eyeMatL
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10eye.png
         }
      }
   }
}
material preset_10_eyeMatR
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         texture_unit
         {
            texture preset_10eye.png
         }
      }
   }
}

For different colored eyes, you change the text highlighted in red. Most people will add an L or R, for left and right, so the file name is preset_10eyeR.png, or preset_10eyeL.png, however the name doesn't matter as long as it corresponds to the image file.
Once you change the text in the material file to whatever you like, save it.
Then just make your different eyes and save the files to match the names you've put in the code.. that's really all there is to it.

This works with any body part, actually, except for the tail since it's only one side.

Here's the double sided code if you want it.

Code: [Select]

material preset_10_eyeMatL
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10eyeL.png
}
}
}
}
material preset_10_eyeMatR
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
texture_unit
{
texture preset_10eyeR.png
}
}
}
}

I did that, but the eyes still won't appear.
The program I'm using is Paint Tool SAI. There are no layers.

No layers..?
Are you making sure that you're saving the image as a .png file and not as anything else? Are you making sure that everything matches up when you go to save?
As for the no layers part, do you mean that you're unable to make multiple layers using that specific program? ( I don't have SAI but I know it should give you an option to make multiple layers, but I mostly use GIMP for these sorts of things ).
Make sure you're inputting the correct information so that way the eyes would show up like the example Tailgate gave you. ~

If you're doing everything correctly, it should work unless you need to try saving your files on a different preset folder to see if that helps or clears up the problem for you?

[Wolflover224]

They're both .png, and what I mean by "no layers" is that I didn't use any layers on the eyes.
