Description

Please watch full size (1600 pixels wide), to better see the details. Some of the cats are easy to see but can you spot all 9 of them, not including the statue? Like someone once said, "sometimes questions are more important than answers". Thanks for watching!

This is so wonderful! I counted more than 9 cats, which tells me I'm seeing things that aren't even there...brilliant!

great scene. if i'm not mistaken, Vue 7 has managed to render your light and materials even better. i really like the sand, vegetation and water. they're beautiful in a very natural way. i found all the cats, but i also found some compression distortion while hunting them out. too bad size for detail comes at such a cost online.

The intention to detail is so impressive - just in the sand and in all your images. Thank you for sharing.

Some of what I'm going to say, you already heard... :P I love this render, it has a surrealistic appeal to me -- very dreamlike... Now, about those cats: every time I counted them, I came up with a different number! LOL! I counted 7 cats the 1st time, 8 the 2nd time, and 9 the 3rd time! But I didn't trust my 3rd count, thinking that I accidentally counted one twice... So I counted again, and found 8, then again, and found only 7. Your cats are hiding from me! lolol Concerning the quality of the render, the lighting and shadows are just beautiful. The presence of the girl in such an area adds to the dreaminess of this image: her smallness and simplicity emphasized by the structure... Her posture, as if she is patiently waiting... And the black cat facing her, seeming almost to be communicating with her... Your textures are lovely, and I'm very drawn to the creeping, crawling vegetation. I love the way it explores the structure and has taken over the tree. It brings to mind something ancient that yet brims with new life. This is one of those images that transports me, one that makes me feel its story without it being told...

Extremely well done and full of charming and enchantment. This image make me see a lot of things, perhaps in mi inconscious there are a place like this. Cats are a great motive in my own renders. I love the details, the mystery, the texture of sand and tree. Masterwork! Congratulations!
