I haven't let it run for more than 300 cycles in PMC but this time around after much pain it's starting to look like the eyes actually look (to me) like eyes instead of just zbrush spotlighted photos...

Looks good render wise, the eyes do feel life like so congrats on that! If you're having issue with getting eyes looking good there is a method where you can model an anatomy correct eye (for the most part) and rendering it like that.
You may need to adjust the surfaces for the eye. Here is a quick go.

Thanks for the comments and crits guys.
@Tugs: I love the specular and glossiness on your version of the eyes. Would you mind posting a screenshot of your node setup and values to take a peek?
What I did in mine was add a second eye sphere and scale it to 1.01X and then put on the cornea material. Obviously mine is not anywhere as realistic as those of others. Still much to figure out.

Getting closer but still missing something.
subdivide the mesh 1-2 times and render it with a hdri map of some sort, and you will see a great difference, right now it's missing proper reflections.

Cool. Thanks for the tip.kayze wrote:subdivide the mesh 1-2 times and render it with a hdri map of some sort, and you will see a great difference, right now it's missing proper reflections.
It's funny the large number of little things you have to pick up along the way that make a big difference. It never would have occured to me to increase the polycount.
And lighting: yup that's something I've only realized in the last month has a massive effect on things. Though it's probably obvious to the experts...
