Love the support we're getting. Kind folks here showing up there, and then other reasonable folks that can see the light and are open to recognize quality.
Could you image just going feature by feature and comparing it all? Look at the eye blink on the DAZ cat and then look at ours. Look at the detail of our ear and look at theirs. I certainly believe it's much more then a marginal difference in every way.
Our Big Cat and House Cat to come, will NOT pale by any comparison, to old or new.
FINALLY... after hours and hours of just PLAYING with all his wonderful dials, then choosing lights (I used a point at light for his face- eyes and tongue, in poser) and then all the constructing of the background/surroundings...adding Ken's wonderful critters to bring it to life:
Link to the HUGE original on my website, under my image here. My muse is already off and running with the next idea for the leopard!! Wow, talk about a great distraction for me at this time in my life!!
Thanks, but that's almost all Lauries wonderful work, I just basically re-coloured her bump map
Even if it wasn't for all those (wonderful) little details Chris, that leg action alone is worth it
Look at your baby S-T-R-E-T-C-H! (and that was just lifting the leg like I did for the DBC2, what a difference)I love this, but I wonder Carey if you used the Silver option for the main Gorilla if that would make it pop more? (since he's so dark compared to Kitty)
VE!!

Just wanted to show my love for this Kitty- I'm embarrassed by the rude comments I've read elsewhere...
I can't remember if you use Poser or Daz, but one option might be hiding the main characters and rendering the background then exporting it into PS or gimp and upping the saturation and/or brightness and contrast. Then, import the background into your render platform and switch on the main characters and render, or if you can find some light effects atmospherics ........ best example I can think of but it's for Daz is Dreamlight's for Stonemason's jungle but something like that.
I still think the action is wicked kewl !!!!
I need to think about doing Python Vs Black Panther or Jaguar at some point.
WOW!! that's stunning @Desertsilver love how you have composed this !!
Now off to pull down my images from Daz!! =( It appears the mods are not taking kindly to them in the thread at full size so I must put them as small attachments below the text.
Then off to work on a few things after dinner.

Thanks that is worth a try, some scenes come out and they appear quite natural, others like this just looked "stacked" like you just threw some things into the picture.. the larger the scene, the harder it is.. Really I think I should be doing this in Carrara so get better depth...

I am loving this, the more I play with this kitty, the more I like it, I can get so expressive with it...
