That is amazingly convincing - the fur pattern is a bit siomple to the lower right, but I guiess that's what your next stage will fix?

Hi Guys,

a little mini Update.
The Cat is in a Rigging-Process:) a funny Part :lol: for me.
The Animation is provieded in Motionbuilder and Lightwave in a Mix.
Facials is Lightwave-Work.
The final Motionbuilder Cat-Rigg I will download here freely for to offer.
Interested the Motionbuilder-Lightwave-Rigg for free?

For many of the FFX examples my main crit is that the fibers look to 'individual', and defined, but here I think the opposite - some of that effect could help. The longer hairs almost look 'motion blurred' (in the photoshop sense), and could benefit from some individual hair definition.

Great work nonetheless - many subtle details.

*and as everyone knows, cats are the new robot around here ...*

Interested the Motionbuilder-Lightwave-Rigg for free?

Oh yes!:thumbsup:

Very nice Cat and fur. I really like the variety in the fibers :thumbsup:

[SandroBenigno]

Hard work here... The cat is very nice, man! Keep it going! (The rig setup seems to be perfect...)

Hi Guy's,

another WIP-Picture with the Cat.
I'm using Morphtrack for animate the Facial-Animations..
This is a GREAT Tool and a Timesaver and worked under the 9.5
with a little Bug.
I hope for a Update :)

9.5.1?

[3DBandit]

Rendert in 9.5 with 1 Instance...
For the next Furmonster i'm waiting for the 9.51, i need many Instances for the Fur.

The Cat is my first FFX-Character in 9.5 and definitely the last under 9.5.
I have used the Stylingtools from the Layouter.

The Modelerguides are very different by Rendering a Picture in Layout.
The Bias VMap does not work good, to different are the Renderings.

Best,

[mav3rick]

well my advice wait 9.5.1 there is SO much difference in FFX btw 9.5 and 9.5.1 that you would stop fighting in 9.5 instantly.... really wait or join beta....

[3DBandit]
