Hello,

I find it difficult to make a character's eyes sparkle like in the pic. I'm not talking about adding a map to the glow channel (that would only make the WHOLE eyes glow). Adding a reflection map to the reflection channel doesn't seem to work either, not with PBR anyway. It seems adding an extra spotlight on the eyes seems to work somewhat.  That, and adding B2M on the eyes, I seem to get a mediocre result by playing with the roughness settings, but not enough.

There must be a way just to make the eyes really shine. Thanks.
