Yeah, I can't image how long it takes to do such high quality kitty textures. I wouldn't even know where to begin. But hey, it's summer, so there are more hours in the day right. . . ? I mean it's not like you can use a computer when it's dark outside.

LOL GG- well I DO like to ride and train my horse, (am actually going to show him some this year!), I DO have a farm to take care of, and well there's that sleep thing too:)

Actually the hardest part of all this at least for me has been getting a good spec and normal map set up and done- the different coats/diffuse maps are actually the "fun" part of making all these:)

Basically that's where I am on the Deer/Thistle/Bighorn Sheep because they will share a spec and normal map, and while I've got a decent start on them, yeah they take a while! :) Attempting to sort out the best way to do a more furry coat, sans Poser Hair Room or LAMH, has a been a real challenge for me this past year, starting with the big cat. Harry was a piece of cake next to all this:)

Thanks Pen!

So here are the Tuxedo 1 and the Calico with fixed ear translucence maps (had to make a custom one for the calico since his ears are light and dark:)

Thanks Pen! Def spending more time with Flash this year and just taking things more at my own pace, but since a lot of these are well started (over the last or the previous year) there's a good chance I will get most of these done this year. Last year the other big hurdle was trying to crash learn making maps and MATs for Iray and Superfly. Have a better handle on that now at least:) Def partly why I've been putting some on the back burner as I learn more various skills as well as Iray and SF, so I can really try to make them really rock :)

Yes the Calico will be a bonus coat for the the Black/White/Tuxedo set. It may well be a bonus in the sense of buy during the initial sale get the Calico free- haven't gotten the details sorted out on that yet.
