OMG, I am sooooo loving the short haired Tux baby. Both long and short hairs look great, but I've always liked the Tux coloring.

They look fantastic!!!! Love love them! I really need that cat now LOL
So finally some new WIPs from me- needless to say I think most if not all of you now know why I've been rather busy this summer so far
So these show some WIPs of some of my Black/White/Tuxedo set as I test them using the free LAMH presets. I would have to pick some hard ones

And I'll add my support to that wish! We need someone to redress the balance and Tiny's work on the HW Gorilla was outstanding. She's a very talented lady and much respected! 
I hope you're working on a siamese.
You bet! Nothing far enough along to show yet is all. Been kinda busy lately
Having NO DS compatibility with my brain... I'd have to have pic-numbered How To's for installing DS, the LAMH module, AND how to use the presets with the cat... sigh...such beautiful results tho, Laurie! The one thing that has always looked good to me coming out of DS (for humans anyway) is it's default lighting.... and also, FYI...To me, in MY opinion there is NO shine on a cat's fur in real life...I ALWAYS disable spec...just MY personal preference....
Question- Does DS export a png of it's renders so there is an alpha mask? (that way the furred cat can be placed into a poser rendered scene...)

Hey Lyne
Yes you can run a png image of just the cat just like one can in Poser and then composite in Photoshop same as always. I've done that plenty of times.
Also I won't be supplying MATs for the LAMH hair- just will have suggested iray settings for the particular coats in my ReadMe. (so you better read the ReadMe folks There are only 2 iray settings to change.
It would be easy enough to make a YouTube video showing the LAMH and etc process for the hair in DS. I'll put it on my list

After hours and many breaks ... I finally got fur I'm almost satisfied with. I'm not sure whether I need higher density or shorter hair.
I've never had a lot of success with the styling options, so tend to control the hair with a combination of the back, down, side and gravity settings. The strongest gravity setting on any of the hair groups is a -0.5 on the legs, with -0.2 on the body, and 0 on the head fur.
Tsuki was considerate enough that she allowed me to study her to realize the hair on her ears and face are much shorter than that on her body.
What's really needed though are two hair groups per body part ... one shorter and denser, and a second that's not as dense, but longer.
Did I mention this was Poser?

What? I don't get it. What did I miss, this being Poser and all? How is that possible?
This is some next level stuff you have going here. It looks really good Satira!!

What Chris said!This is really exciting Satira!
Gosh. Thanks Chris and FlintHawk.
After looking at Tsuki more today, the fur on the legs needs to be much shorter too. So I'm going to try that and see if I'm any happier.

Anyone with enough patience to survive extended exposure to Poser's hair room gets my heartiest respect!
Thanks Ram and Laurie. I like your panther body hair too.
For the Housecat, I set the head hair to grow upwards and rather than down and reduced the length. The longest hair was on the abdomen and chest, which was 0.0750, getting shorter on chest2 and up the neck to the head.
Of course, Tsuki is short haired, and since I was using her as my model, I went short, short, short.
After reading as much info as I could find on Poser Hair, I've found ignoring the instructions and fiddling with the gravity gives me far better results than trying to style the hair. Sometimes, I use absolutely no gravity at all. After all, if I'm doing a hairstyle that's supposed to stand up or be combed back, gravity rather defeats the objective.
It's also rare I can get a long hair style that is acceptable to me. This is one that I liked. I wanted the hair to be rather frizzy and a bit wild ... and I think I succeeded.
If I remember correctly, I tilted the figure backwards during the simulation of the hair groups.
