LAMH Fuzzy Kitty

[Gadget Girl]

Boy, did that scene ever slow down when I exported the hair for both the kitten and the gorilla! Kitty has almost 800,000 hairs, but since the gorilla is a few times bigger, he has 1,600,000 (thicker) hairs, and that really eats into computer performance!

I can only image. But the result is great. That's just a gorgeous image.

Koko!

Have since learned that if you set the preview mode to "bounding boxes", it doesn't affect performance at all. You can also make the hair objects hidden when you're not rendering, which also speeds up performance to almost normal.

This is amazing VB. My, my goodness. I'd like to post on a few facebook pages. Excellent work.

 

[VortigensBane]

I think I have a better one...

Post whatever you want. You don't have to ask me...

 

[Chris]

Cool, thanks. Yeah I dig this one too. Amazing work.

 

[Pendraia]

Awesome work VB...

 

[Lorraine]

Fabbo, VB, just fabbo!

 

[RAMWolff]

Amazing renders. Sweet!

 

[VortigensBane]

Re-did the closeup with the revised lighting...

Really should stop playing and fix it so that that tail stops looking like a pipe cleaner...

Sidetracked by the release of the HiveWire Cougar Cub...

Just couldn't resist, since I bought the carnations at the same time...

 

[Pendraia]

Nice...I picked up the carnations but I have tried them yet. Looks really good...

 

[JOdel]

Oh yeah. Fuzzy kitten fur.

BIG kitten...

So amazing! I have got to learn LAMH!

 

[VortigensBane]

Sidetracked again... Couldn't get the foal's mane to look good in a render, so went ahead and did a rough LAMH preset for the foal. Like the tail, love the mane, but not happy with the body yet; not to mention that there are some pretty obvious collision problems...

The body fur looks almost like a deer right now. I think I'm going to have to re-do the fetlocks too; I grew them out as part of the main shavegroup, but I ended up not having very good control over them, so they look like pom-poms...

 

[Pendraia]

Too, too cute VB!

 

[VortigensBane]

So many projects, so little time...

 

[Dakorillon (IMArts)]

That is looking great!
I do so know what you mean!
I'm trying to prioritize my projects, not doing great at that, yet.

If it helps VB, newborn feathered foals don't usually have many feathers (even Gypsy Vanners which are one of the most heavily feathered horses )

It may not be perfect, but I just want to snuggle his face.
