Ooooh, can't wait!!!!! A white tiger in the mix somewhere, too?
Yep when we get to the Tiger (which I am wanting to do next after Lion as far as the Big Cat goes) I will be doing a white tiger too
Right now my plan is to finish up the Deer Family after Lion. And yes I am working on white coats for them too
Thanks Jodel! I am really excited about this Lion family and will be doing LOTS more tweaks to make them as perfect as I can- Lions were my first passion long before horses and I've been dying for a good 3D lion for as long as I've been in the 3d game
(I started in 3d with Bryce back in summer 2004- right after I got back from Africa
@CWRW Would you ever consider posting screen shots of your DS RENDER SETTINGS, output settings...whatever they are called? *Not for me, I went screaming from DS never to return* but I know Flint is still TRYING with the house cat, but keeps getting those white specs in the LAMH, and none of the smoothness, etc... of course you're on a MAC, and Flint is PC with different ram, but still (and how LONG it took to render....after an hour, Flint only had a teeny tiny image out of her DS) ...... also Flint hasn't figured out how to even set/use those lights to get such a gorgeous render as you are showing here, too.... (there ought to be a class for the darn software....or a really comprehensive video tutorial like there are for Poser!)
Gorgeous Lions!!!!!.... hope too that LAMH isn't taking up too much time, when there are the 'non-hair' users like me still anxious to have these lions! (are they rigged yet, or do we have to wait on that till AFTER you're done with the mapping?)
Thanks!

Hey Lyne
Well those specs (or "fireflies") show up more in various lights than others. I am only now starting to get a handle on iray settings myself but am happy to share what little I have learned. The big thing to eliminate those white specs is in the Surface Tab/materials not the render settings- the one that makes those "fireflies" is the "Glossy Layered Weight". Setting it to 0 gets rid of them altogether. The other settings shown are what I start with.
For my latest set imagery I used the Fabi paid Zen lights and used her render settings (under her utilities folder in that product) to make the homepage banner and first 2 product images. The Zen lights cause much less "fireflies" in general. On images 5-7 I used these lights- BOSS Pro Light Set for Portraits & Promos | 3D Models and 3D Software by Daz 3D
they do cause a lot of "fireflies" though so I had to mess with those a LOT to get a satisfactory result. Mainly I had already done those before I bought the Fabi Zen lights.
