I never was happy enough with them to release them. The horse one that I did was a really basic one, back when I had just gotten the plug-in - one inch hair all over the body, randomly spherized and tapered, with no "grooming" whatsoever. The Big Cat preset turned out a little better, but I wasn't completely happy with it. You can see it in action in some of the images in the HiveWire Big Cat Contest Gallery.

I bought Garibaldi when it was recently on sale for about $5, but I haven't had time to play with it.

Hey, you okay if I post this last one on a few facebook threads, giving you credit and adding a link back to here?

Another thing. I'll make sure to mention this is a wip.

Love what you're doing.

Love what you are doing VB! I have a black, and a white and several "tuxedo" kitty varieties in the works that I started last fall:) Aiming to get back on them shortly! I know I have some WIP render of them in one one of the kitty threads (and LOL maybe even my own preview thread- can't remember!:)

And first try using 3Delight...

Definitely still needs work. Supposed to be an orange tabby on top, and a "black leopard" on the bottom. Must be some glitch in the map assignment, 'cause they don't look like an orange tabby and a black leopard to me... Of course, I'm pretty rusty on rendering in 3Delight, so my light setup isn't very good either. :(

Looks really really good. Yea, 3Delight can be a little daunting with lighting. I have some light setup's that I load in that I saved out a while back to give me a little bit of an edge getting good lighting for both iRay and 3Delight....

This last one is for @Lyne, using her freebie textures. "Travis" has just gone fuzzy...View attachment 22308

yeeeek!!!!!!! You may be THE one that gets me to download and install DS! I hate that program....but... if I could have that kitty...could save it as a static prop, - export it to POSER to render properly... LOVE IT!!! Your assignment of fur to the house cats is really amazing! (still needs to be VERY short on the big cats...and FINER on the cub... IMHO. :)

Awww, he thinks he us so fierce! Love this. And I liked your tuxedo cat. It may have only been a quick setup, but it looked really good.
