Since the model viewer isn't showing Eye Glows I've been trying to motion track the eyes of my characters in After Effects and use my own glows....the problem is there isn't much to track, only a few pixels, so the tracking is very rough and wobbles around, making the glow look terrible.

Has anyone dealt with this previously and have any suggestions? Night elf males look creepy without eye glow....

Thanks for the help!

Depending on the number of frames you could always track it manually.

Yeah I've tried doing that a few times, it's pretty time consuming and always looks very jagged.

Somehow (lots of model control fiddling and restarting the program) I've gotten the eye glows to come up; so I'm praying they don't go away before I finish this project.

Thank you for your reply though!
