Can you move an individual eye?

[sombrez2]

I want the left eye facing to the left and the right eye facing to the right. How can I do this?

You'll need to recompile the model and start messing with the eye bones so that they dont follow the viewport. :/

It's possible if you use two identical models with the exact same animation samples, one of which has an invisible left eye, and the other is completely invisible except for the left eye (you can also change both instances of "left" for "right", doesn't matter which eye as long as it's the same one).

Most models valve/gmod models DON'T have Eye Bones. They use Flex sliders that control an iris material that floats over top of the eyeballs. Most times these are not stereo flexes therefore the L/R slider controls don't work. Both eyes move no matter where the L/R switch is. R234's solution would be the only adviseable solution that I could think of.

Thank you for asking this question and thank you for your responses, been wondering about this for a while.

Are they ever that?

Oh, okay because I wanted to replicate my profile picture now. I just found this photo off the internet. Thanks for the answers!

I have some models that the flexes actually move the mesh of the eyes, not the iris materials. And yes they are stereo. I can move the left and right eyes to look outwards, but they are very few and usually a ported model from another game.

Oh, okay.
