You will see the whole Big Kitty ....soon
(Actually still working on those pesky toes today....where the UV seam hits is very inconvenient and it is beyond tough to get the toes spread out enough to do the level of 3d painting I would like to do on them)

Not always easy to anticipate where a texture artist would prefer seams to run. I layed out the UVs the best I could, and tried to minimize seams by joining areas together as well.
A preview of our Leopard in DS/iRay
Finishing up DS MATs today (both 3Delight and Iray). Still some minor tweaks and seam fixes to do on all maps. But I am getting real close!

Yet another gorgeous render Laurie!!
Had Paul sent you over what he's got done with the rigging? I thought he had paw spread morphs made? Might help!You will see the whole Big Kitty ....soon
Hey Chris
Not your fault- you did what made sense and you know I am no good at UVs so I really can't criticize! It's just a tricky seam for doing fur as it runs right through the middle of the toes and I just have to deal with it
I think what I did today works well enough/I am happy enough with them. I have been thinking about trying a different 3d painting program as the one I have now isn't great for that kind of detail on a seam.
LOL trust me- I spread them up down and all over- you should have seen what I did to poor Rodrigo's fingers back when
Mainly it's just fur is a lot tougher to do that with than skin since fur has a direction and flow. Seams in general are just tougher with fur.

I can only imagine!
Sure appreciate what you're doing.
Pretty much plain old Photoshop. I do do some work in Blacksmith 3D, mainly seams and what I call rough sketches on the UV map. Am wanting to at least try the 30 day free trial with Photoshop CC (I have PS CS6 and it doesn't always play well with stupid El Capitan- I only upgraded my Mac OS so I could run the new Poser 11/Superfly - which I DO love!!!)
in the least!
You JUST took the words right out of my mouth Laurie.Whoa!! Who is that handsome young man? I don't recognize him
I thought it was someone new posting!
