Maya progress
 

I'm trying to make this cartoon jelly fish, but the Hypershade is kicking my butt. I'm just trying to make simple white cartoon eyes with the black circle for the pupil, but I can't seem to get the image on the eyes and the eyes look like pearls with some kind of light coming out of the sockets.

I do have to say I've learned some cool things along the way, like extruding a nurb circle on curve, turning off back face culling, Hypershade stuff......
