Description
(Best viewed full size!)
Continuing on with the retexturing and new shaders for the remaining two recurring characters in this series.
Of course, Kuila is Aranée's constant lion cub companion. He is growing fast now...
Do you remember Amikas? He was the healer in the town of Melius who treated her after her fight with the Packran lioness. Yes, he will return...
Almost a straight render: Had a couple of seams and render artifacts that refused to adjust out of the picture, so I had to paint over them. This is the same background set used in the other makeovers. Also, the metal, leather, velvet and skin surfaces are all using the exact same surface shaders I used for Aranée, with a few minor tweaks of course.
The light is an experiment, too. This is my latest formula for "strong sunlight." I like how it turned out but it renders FOREVER. This very simple scene took 5 HOURS to render.
Well, what do you think of this final makeover?

Great work, touching subject. I'm an animal lover. :-) P.S. There's a thread going on at DAZ that might interest you -- Group Project...Belly Dancing Outfit. Not the outfit. I didn't mean you were...well, into belly dancers. Just the content of the thread. We're all modeling, using our own techniques, something like a belly dancing outfit. Cheers! Jan

Great render and story, Larry. I remember the lion cup well...i think..#:o) Aranee was attacked by the cup's mother, and had to kill the mother. And then adopted the kid.. Love the light work in the forest.
