    The lighting, the set up, the expression ... everything about that image is so lovely @IceDragonArt. Is that the HW Cat? I've been playing arond with the Millenium Cat and wishing Daz would bring out a Cat 8. I would snap it up in an instant!

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    @MollyTabby yes it is the Hivewire Cat.  I really like it, it poses well and comes in a grey tabby as well.  Might be more breeds out for now but I haven't actually looked.  And, if you have the Hivewire Big Cat, the materials for those will work on the housecat. and there is a kitten as well...

    This is Amaryllis one of the new characters available in the last day or two.  So I got this weird idea in my head, like, what would happen if I tried to apply the colorwerks iray hair shaders to these wings? (Morning Star Wings for G3F and G8F)  Well, apparently, they work very well lol.  I changed the wing bones to something different as well, you can just not select them and apply the shaders to just the feathery part. Best viewed full size - Here is a link to the gallery image

    This one looks great, looks like someone off camera is about to have a really bad day laugh

    Yes she is feeling very threatened and irate and is unsure if she is going to fly away or take care of the problem permanently

    There is also a black/white/tuxedo texture pack, and a calico texture pack. (And if you have the HW Dog, there is new texture pack AND free LAMH presets!)

    Love your images, Sonja. This is one of my favorite art threads to lurk in! sad

    Thank you @IceDragonArt and @L'Adair for the information, I'm going to try and put some of next month's (or the month after) budget towards getting the HW Cat. It looks so good in the renders I've seen smiley

    The HW Cat and Kitten also have really nice free LAMH presets by Vampiric-Saiyaness

    Forgot to add- the HW Cat/Kitten, HW Big Dog and HW Big Cat/Cub also share all the same UVs so one can mix and match coats between them all.

    That is such a lovely picture @CWRW.

    O M G! It's @CRCW! (Totally fan-crushing, atm…) blush

    @Mollytabby, CRCW may feel like she can't mention this, but those LAMH presets for the HW Cat are also available free on the HW site. Just add them to the cart when you pickup the HW cat. Then you don't have to try to remember where you saved files you downloaded weeks or months before getting the cat!

  • IceDragonArtIceDragonArt Posts: 12,548

    Thank you for the links and info! 

  • MollytabbyMollytabby Posts: 1,163

    Thank you @CRCW and @L'Adair. I'm off for a meander round the HW site to bookmark what Iike the look of. I've never purchased from anywhere else but Daz so this will be a new experience for me. I have the Daz Big Cats so I can play with those until I can purchase.

    @IceDragonArt you've set me off on another track, lol. Your thread is such an inspiration!

  • deathbycanondeathbycanon Posts: 1,227

    I need to stay out of your thread, it always costs me too much money. lol Fantastic render with the cat, I absolute love the way you posed him.,

    LOL!  Thanks! (I am blushing:)  Yes that is correct- one can get the free kitty LAMH presets at HW as well.   (And yes I am very careful what I say in these forums:)

    haha sorry!  I don't do it on purpose lol!  And thank you!

    I've been wanting to do something related to Scooby Doo ever since I saw the mystery solver outfit for G3F.  I finally did it lol.

    @Kharma  thank you very much!  I have to say, I'm having so much fun!   I am so happy I found this program, the combination of Daz and Photoshop have allowed me to create the art I want to create in a way that traditional art  never could.

    Thanks for sharing some of the lighting products you use.  They’re on my wishlist now.   Am beginning to understand maybe some of these unbelievable renders I see require add-ons?  Esp. for the skin?  Some of mine look like wax mannequins. Won’t even bother with PS if  they look that bad. : /

    But enough about me.  You’ve had  some very august company looks like!  I’m new, but even I’ve heard of a member who usually posts at another place about horse textures. : 0 !  3D really seems to be a small community!

    Latest render:  Ha!  Had forgotten about Scooby Doo & had to look up skinny, hippy looking guy who was always eating.  Velma can expect no help from Shaggy unless she happens to have a burger and some fries. wink

    @CRCW  I wanted to thank you again for stopping by I am honored!  I thought I said that already but apparently... not lol.  Been one of those weeks.  I love your work!

    @Tynkere please don't hesitate to ask any questions on my thread, I am always happy to help if I can, and if I can't, I can probably point you in the right direction of who to ask.  As f far as skin, some of them need more help than others and it all depends on what you are going for.  There are a lot really great products out there.  some of the ones I use the most are Divamakeups Altern8 for Genesis 8.  Fantastic product for this generation.  I also use Anagenessis 2 which work on darn near everything although it works best on Genesis 3 and under ( and even though it says Gen3, Gen 2 and Genesis he has a free script to add which works on darn near anything else.  I've used the Genesis one on V4 and the free script on dinosaurs and dragons)  V3digitimes   has some great scripts for the earlier generations as well.

    Just wanted to thank for tips on skin helper products.  Altern8 took some tweaking to match skin tones but really seems to bring out the detail!  : )  Will have to save up for the Anagenesis.

    best wishes & thanks again  : )

    Love this dress.  This was done for an add on

    texture pack.  It drapes beautifully with zero hassle.

    This is a great pose and lovely draping.  I really like the complementary colors used here - chartreuse is usually not flattering but it is striking here.

    Its not a color I use often but it just really made her stand out. I can't take credit for the dress, that's straight out of the box and into the simulation.

    For those who enjoy the men lol.   I won't be around much for the next two weeks, maybe in the evenings and mornings mostly, as we are on vacation.
