Wow. I think this is the first render I've ever added to my favorite images. And I'm not fond of cats. Wow.

Outstanding fur!

Holy Moly Neftis!! That is truly outstanding! The ears turned out great...I mean really great. How the heck did you do that? And that fur....my god...how the heck did you do that?!!! And the setting....a purrfect setting to highlight the cat, right down to the reflections! Wonderful...just wonderful :) I am a cat lover too (think you already knew that!), but I sure wish I had your talents with P5. Wow!

Holy Moly is right...I'd swear that was a photograph...excellent render!! I can't even imagine what light settings you used to get those reflections...

OMG Thanks so much everyone!!! I am so surprised of the good reaction it creates!! Ok first, it is not a photograph LOL And the image and setting are quite simple....not too elaborate at all...(maybe only the inner ears that I had to work a little to obtain the effects.....but here is what I have done. I used only 4 lights.

neftis posted Thu, 08 July 2004 at 2:19 AM

I used the infinite light of the top poser sphere to create the backlight effects that will go with the setting of the inner ears. I simply boosted the intensity to find just the right effect I wanted on the fur texture.

neftis posted Thu, 08 July 2004 at 2:27 AM

then for the inner ears settings, I had to fake a translucidity with this setting. ;)

neftis posted Thu, 08 July 2004 at 2:34 AM

And after hours of tweeking it finally gave me these results. (here I paste the shading into the background so firefly renders over the shades )

neftis posted Thu, 08 July 2004 at 2:37 AM

Then I finaly simply finished it with some post work on the fur and added some blur effect here and there to make it look more realistic. And that's about it...I used a box for the stand then applied a dyn cloth over it and put back my nice lil kitty on top of it.

Waaaah... Now that reminds me of my dearly departed sealpoint - except he had smooth fur. Gosh that looks real. GREAT JOB. Too bad I don't own the Milcat (yet). Me? Let's seeeee.... last count we have 22 mainstays and 6 transients ..... I know--- zoicks. LOL..... no kidding....

Increadible work! It looks sooooo real.

I love cats! Siames especially. :o)

Thanks for sharing and for showing what can be done.

This is remarkable! After seeing it, I may yet get P5. I've been sticking to P4/PP because P5 seemed to have a lot of hassles to deal with. Now I'm beginning to wonder whether I should innvest in it. Anyway, I knew someone who raised and bred Siamese cats, and fell in love with them(the cats, that is). I am a cat lover and Siamese are my favorites. I like the chocolate point color the most.

Gareee posted Thu, 08 July 2004 at 3:33 PM

Nef, that image is the BEST image that CL could use for P5! They have some kind of submissionm thing going on over there for images... you should send the final, and then the wireframe version you posted, to prove it's not a real image. I had to look at it a few time, JUST to make sure it wasn;t a real pic! BTW when are ya going on Vacation, and when will you be back?

BTW could you post the images before postwork?

Here it is... Gareee:Yes I am in my vacation now, but I also am fortunate enough to have access to internet;) In fact this is why I took a little time out for creating content, so I have little free time to explore firefly. But don't worry, I also enjoy some time with my family and some friends... VIVE LES VACANCES!!! :D

Gareee posted Thu, 08 July 2004 at 8:15 PM

Yer on vacation, and tinkering in poser?? Shut that damned thing off, and go play!
