Faery_Light's Housecat WIP

[Faery_Light]

Getting ready to watch TV but wanted to post this one.
I'm doing an extra set of eyes, one for night time.
Cats eyes appear to glow at night so for night scenes these will work fine.

 

[Faery_Light]

Getting there on my first package.
Skipping the night eyes for this one, will add as a bonus later when I get it right.

On MissKitty it was harrrrd!
Went to go to Pixabay to find a tail the right color, finally had to settle for a racoon tail which is okay.
she was mixed with Maine Coon cat and had the ring tail as well as extra toes on all feet.
I miss that critter, she was my baby.

CaliKat is done on FF and SF as are the others.
I think the DS set is finished but need to check for sure.

 

[Faery_Light]

Zipped and in my box waiting for some testers.
Gonna go ask for some now.

 

[Janet]

I would offer but I know nothing about testing textures. Wouldn't even know what to look for.

 

[Faery_Light]

My first pack is with my testers so here is a sneak peak at the next two.
Still work to be done on them.
On the second white I'll need to figure out how to do spots in DS as it was made on a white coat adding spots in Poser.
The others are actual texture maps for the spots.
Just click them to see larger view.

 

[Faery_Light]

Got a little more work done last night.
Won't t be able to swork on stuff today, we have severe t storm watch till later this evening.

 

[Faery_Light]

I had to take some time off but back to work on my kitties today.
a few more tweaks then back to my testers.

 

[Faery_Light]

I worked on and off on this for about two hours this week.
Just need to do the thumbnails for each program now .
I added three earhair material files for each, Poser and DS so I need to alter the readme.
Just not been feeling like doing a lot, in a bad place emotionally due to a lot of family health news.
I have a niece, we are very close, who is needing surgery soon to fix her stomach so she can hold down food.
We started a Go-fund-me for her on Facebook to help her pay for it.
My baby sister has been told she has lung cancer and has to see a cancer specialist.
The past ten years has been one sickness ans many deaths after another.
Just so tired of sickness and death...so tired.

 

[Faery_Light]

Things are looking better for my niece, people are helping out a bit.
My RA has eased so doing some work.
Just dong some earhair colors for superfly.
Then it will be ready to zip and let my testers have a look.

I'm still going slow because I am tired and weak from all the RA attacks.

 

[Faery_Light]

I put the finishing touches on the, zipped them and posted for my testers.
So time to relax a bit once more.

 

[Janet]

Cool! I can't wait to have these in my runtime!

 

[Faery_Light]

Wait till you see the next packs.

 

[Faery_Light]

I was just thinking, after looking at some kitty images with exposed belly, it is hard to get that realism for the belly.
Our Neffie had a pink belly showing under her fur because if the short hair, Miss Kitty had longer fur and so he pink belly did not show.
But if you do a white kitty with a pink belly, the use LAMH for it, it won't look right.
Maybe alternate textures?
Oh, got playing a bit with CaliKat SF set and tried a hair shader on the body fur, here is what it looks like with that.

 

[xmasrose]

You're right for the LAMH, 2 textures for the belly would be great but more work.
That shader looks interesting.
Sorry for not being able to give you my feedback yet but I have a big cold with runny nose, sore throat, my head feels like a balloon, but I am getting better, if only I could have a good night of sleep!

 

[Faery_Light]

Yeah, got hit with a virus or flu and now cold sores starting on my mouth...sigh.
I hope you get better soon.

 

[Faery_Light]

@Chris : Is the any chance of getting feet morphs like this in the image?
My Miss Kitty was part Maine Coon Cat and had a total of 7 toes on each foot.
I'd love a morph for that,

 

[Janet]

Just saw the post about exposed bellies. One of my cats chews his hair off on his belly when he's stressed. The vet noticed it and said there are two causes for this, one is a stomach ache. Think about how people hold their arms over their middle when their stomachs hurt. Cats can't do that so they chew their hair off. The second reason is psychological.

 

[Faery_Light]

I find it odd that all my earhair textures except the brown will render correctly im 3dl for DS.
Ir renders a dark grey for some reason...sigh,

Edited to say, just needed to set the gamma in render settings,

 

[Faery_Light]

Worked out a few more kinks and sent to my testers again.
I only have three promos done so far.
I need a spectacular main promo featuring all three kitties.

 

[Faery_Light]

Wanted to show these two images off a bit, they are artistic renders for my kitties.
My intention is to use them for promos.
