Hello. I want to create a small white dot in the character's eyes, for this I placed a light source that is reflected in the eyes. But I don't want this light source to illuminate anything. I just need a white dot in the eyes. What is the best solution for this?

    Catchlights can be either made by using a light source at a certain place in front of the figure, as you did...or using a texture map in Cutout Opacity slot on Eyes' surfaces. In your case, if you turn off the light, it won't emit light anymore, then how can it be reflected in the eyes ?

    So, you may go for the 2nd way... by creating a mask map and assign it to Cutout Opaciy on EyeMoisture surfaces on G9, or Cornea surface on G3/G8 ~~

    When adding catchlights to the eyes in a still image, you can also draw them in using photo retouching software such as GIMP or Photoshop.
