Improved Eye Model.
This is a new model for eyes offering more customisation and control over their appearance i hope.
Support for multiple high poly head and expression mods such as COTR and EFA Male/Female as well as Racemenu and Enhanced Character Edit.
Adds a few standalone eyes as well, some of which are animated, available to all races minus beasts.
Available in 2K and 1K 

Replaces the vanilla meshes with one that splits the lashes and lacrimal into their own nifs and tris then 2 meshes for the eye ball, 1 controls the light reflections as well as cubemaps which is the equivalent of the crystalline while the other is the actual "eye ball" which has the sclera and iris, the crystalline is concave while the iris is convex to make it more realistic and anatomically correct in my opinion.

I've made patches for:
-Racemenu
-ECE
-EFA Male
-EFA Male
-EFM
-FFA
-High Poly head
-COTR


I've made Textures for each vanilla eye color and some extras, which you can try or if you want, assuming other mod authors who make eye textures are interested in this new model you can wait for them to make new textures for these since all previous eye texture mods are incompatible with this new model.

Texture options:
-Vanilla colors with whiter/brighter sclera color.
-Vanilla colors with default (darker sclera) and vanilla sclera color for elves ie: red for dark elves, brown for wood elves, orange/yellow for high elves and grey for orcs.
-Vanilla colors with default (darker sclera) for both humans and elves.

I have made unique blind textures for each race as well.
The Dremora textures are different from the Demonic ones as you can see in the screenshots and there are also snow elf and vampire snow elf eye textures with white eye lashes.

Sclera color options:

Details:
The uv's for this model allow more space to be used for the iris so textures made in 1k or even 512 for this model should be better than textures of the same resolution for the vanilla model.

Some of the eyes glow and have animated FX to get an idea of what can be done with these new meshes, those fx could probably be done onto vanilla meshes too but the result wouldn't have looked quite right i don't think.

Either way i hope this is an improvement over the vanilla model and i hope to see some retextures for these :)

Artsick's Lacrimal adjustments in her Eyes AO Clipping fix mod is included as well as the double sided flag for the eye lash/lacrimal mesh like in Invisibility and Eyes Mesh Fixes.

I also believe this to be a more permanent fix to the Enb Eye Shadow bug, i hope.

Feel free to swap around cubemaps and mess around with it until you find the settings that suit your tastes.

If you want your favorite npc overhauls and/or followers to use these new eyes you'll have to ask the mod authors of those mods to make patches because swapping the eye meshes in their files with these ones will break the facegen files and they'll have to regenerate the facegen data.

I had also considered making 3d eye lashes but after some testing decided it just wasn't worth it since i did not think they were superior to 2d lashes.
