Sonic eye color

[AridanosYT]

Does anyone know how to change the color of modern Sonic's eyes? The Sonic model from hero pack made by Apoc Hedgie.

Using custom textures. Refer to the below guide for instructions on applying them (though you'll probably need to use $Iris for eye materials, not $BaseTexture), but you'll need to look up instructions on making/editing them yourself.

I try the trick with $Iris on the eyeball setup, but for some reason, the iris and the eye-ball goes pink and black. I just want the iris.

This either means that you've successfully overriden $Iris but haven't specified a texture yet, or that the texture you've specified doesn't actually exist (or is corrupted). In the latter case, remember that you must specify the path to the texture (relative to -/SourceFilmmaker/game/
/[folder]/materials/) and the texture's filename, not just the filename itself.

For example, if you have -/SourceFilmmaker/game/[folder]/materials/models/sonic/customeye.vtf, you should use "models/sonic/customeye" as the texture, not just "customeye".

If you mean the original iris texture, an override material contains the path to the material (relative to -/SourceFilmmaker/game/[folder]/materials/), allowing you to somewhat easily find the VMT material file, which you can then open in a text editor to find out the file-path and -name of the iris texture (again relative to -/SourceFilmmaker/game/[folder]/materials/), allowing you to find the original iris texture that you can then try to edit and make a recoloured version of.
