After dozens of tests, I've finally found the sweet spot for OOgles.
A while ago I shared my first OOglee designs here: an Owl and a Snake with eyes that appear to follow you as you move around them.
Since then, I’ve been refining the effect through dozens of tests. I’ve learned that it is much more sensitive than it initially looks: the shape of the recessed eye, its depth, the distance between both eyes, their placement, and the viewing angles all make a huge difference.
More depth can create a stronger following-eye effect, but it also reduces the range of angles where it works well. Finding the balance between a convincing effect and a wide enough viewing angle has been the real challenge.
With my latest designs, I feel I’ve finally found that sweet spot. The Panther in this video is one example of the newer approach.
I’ve also gone back and updated the original Owl with these new eye adjustments, so the free version now reflects the improved design.
I’d love to hear what you think: does the effect look more convincing from the angles shown here? And what animal would you like to see next?
