The console variables

First of all, lets cover console variables that affect eyes on in-game characters.

Here's the list of them:

Name

Default Value

Description

r_eyemove

Enables or disables the ability of iris/pupil to move.

r_eyes

Enables or disables eye drawing completely.

r_eyesize

Size of the pupil/iris.
0 = no change, 0.5 = 50% bigger, 1 = twice as big
It can go negative to hide the iris, or make it smaller

r_eyeshift_x

Vertical eye offset for all eyes.
1 = 180°, 0.5 = 90° up, -0.5 = 90° down

r_eyeshift_y

Diagonal eye offset for all eyes.
Positive values make the eyes cross look down, sorta like looking at your nose.
Negative values make the eyes look up and info opposite directions.

r_eyeshift_z

Eye offset for all eyes, similar to r_eyeshift_y, but does not make eyes look up and down.
0.5 = 90° outwards, -0.5 = 90° cross look

Please note that some ragdoll models ( Day Of Defeat & Counter-Strike player models for example ) do not provide proper support for eyes, so they will not be affected by these commands or eye poser.

Fixing problems with eyes

You can easily fix most of eye problems with in-game characters by resetting all the console variables to their default values.

To do this:
1) Open your console. By default, the console is bound to your tilde key ( ~, `, §, above tab ) and F10.
2) Copy and paste this into your console and press enter:

r_eyes 1;r_eyemove 1; r_eyesize 0;r_eyeshift_x 0;r_eyeshift_y 0;r_eyeshift_z 0

3) The eyes should look normal now.

Messing around

Now go and use this knowledge to make fancy screenshots and videos!

@Thecarson116
The same thing happens to me as to you, I don't know why the positioning of the eyes is inverted, it's weird but I guess I'll have to get used to it I don't know if that's because it's been like this for a long time or maybe an addon that I have is creating that conflict

I love you

My main problem is that some ragdolls' eyes, even if I put them into the correct position, will move around freely in the opposite direction to the way I move, messing up the position. Have no idea what causes this and frankly it SHOULDN'T be happening, but it is. Any ideas anyone?

It’s not working for me. I made a post describing my problems with ragdolls’ eyes:

If anyone could help me, I would owe you one!
