Morning John!

Cat…:scream: !? I would be very scared if something like this comes through the cat’s door (and my cats too), but fortunately she’s to fat to come through the door:D …Amazing modeling and the shader is just great:thumbsup: , it’s a pity to cover it with hair…but I admit that I’m really curious to see this creature with some fur! Let’s see an update soon!

Just passing by hoping to catch a glimpse of some orange/applegreen striped fur here … is it on it’s way? :bounce:

#529

Hahahahah…those eyes …!!!..hahaha…so funny, man u are killing me…ahhahah :beer:.

#530

I second that :slight_smile:

EDIT
Excuse my silly double post :S
What program are you using to do the fur out of interest?

#531

EDIT Doh

#532

Thanks GUNILLA, Dimitri, and Womgoose…Nearly there!

#533

here’s catty’s fur texture (used on fur only)

#534

here’s the texture that goes under the fur, directly on the cat

#535

this is for the hair density, so I can keep the fleshy bits showing.(he almost looks like a harmless siamese!)

#536

here’s a few frustrating tests!

#537

…and here’s puss cat…pink seemed to work the best in the end.(click on image for high res)

#538

I vote the number 4! John, you are great! You should made some physical models from these characters! Great!

#539

love the shade on his eyes… and the fur is very catlike, and looks soft…

hmmm… is he cute? naaa… pretty? naaaa… kittenlike? naaaaa, no way…
but he is amusing in his big fat, kind of -still hungry, where is the food- look in his eyes…
…well done…

#540

Cooool! Love that fur!
