Description

Oh but what Mr. Xerr-grinch wouldn't do for his best friend Tabby... there must be a soft heart behind this grumpy grouch. :) Well, it's ridiculous how long it took me to get this render done. I actually started it two years ago, but Daz kept giving me a hard time with it so I gave up. Anyway, lately I've been digging up all these incomplete renders that have just been sitting on my hard drive and when I came across this one I thought "I HAVE to give it another try". I added her clothing and the ornaments (still hadn't done that) and then Daz started crashing like crazy again. So I started breaking it down one piece at a time to see where the problem was. At one point I rendered Xerr alone and all was well so I realized something was up with Tabby. After numerous attempts and failures it turned out to be the hair. In the end I had to render a scene with just Tabby and the hair - shadows off - and it worked. Added the hair back in in Photoshop (which is why her shadow doesn't have any hair). Can't believe I finally managed to get it done though! The wierd thing is I had already done a scene with Tabby and that hair and I had no problems with it. If I remember correctly I actually used that very scene as a starting point for the new one, same lights and everything. So no idea what went wrong. Anyhoo, enough rambling. Thank you for stopping by and thank you for feedback this and on my previous images, I really appreciate it!
