A simple model with animation of an iris opening and closing. Each leaf is a separate object.
I made this for part of a larger project I'm working on, so thought someone else may have a use for it. The iris leaves are planes - I figure the end user can scale, solidify, etc as desired.
Leaf rotation is controlled by the Primary leaf rotation in Y axis.
An animation of the iris in action is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u9f5fffyn703dpr/Iris%20blender%202.79.avi?dl=0
