How To Make Eyes Glow In SFM

This guide was published in 2017, though I've heard it still works as of October 2025. Be scrupulous.

Getting there

Right click your model in the Animation Element Viewer, and click "Set Override Materials" near the bottom. Then, hover over "Show In Element Viewer" and select "Model" in the dropdown menu. Click the plus on the left side near "Materials", then go down to the eye icon in the name and click the adjacent plus icon. Right click the area with the eye icon and hover over "Add Atribute", select "Vector 4". You will be asked to name it.

Make it glow

Name it "$color" and hit okay, then a section should read "0 0 0 0" to the right. Edit this to be "50 50 50, 3 3 3 3, 500 500 500 500". Remember to press enter after entering the value, and experiment to your will!

Tired it out, still works!

Does it work on human models?

[Striking_Alatreon]

Still works.

It does not, however, seem to survive poster rendering. Alas.

2023 and, believe it or not, this is the one thing I found that ACTUALLY works and doesn't require light finangling.

once again reminding all of you this is out of date, and i have not touched sfm in years. all i remember about this guide is that i pretty much watched one youtube video on the topic and copied it directly into this guide. so, there's more accessible and better tutorials on this topic.
