We need some way to deform the eye shape while maintaining the ability to rotate the eyeball. In Blender, we can achieve this through a Lattice. A Lattice is a special type of object that we can use to create a deformation cage around other objects. In this section, we'll use a Lattice to deform a spherical eyeball into an elongated oval-shaped eyeball.

Getting ready

We can use any spherical eye as a starting point. For our example, we're going to start off with the realistic eye we created in the Adding depth and realism to the eyeballs section of this chapter. If you have not completed...
