Cheetahman (new updates on page 5)

[Lil'sister]

Merry X-mas and happy new year!

This is a 3d model made in zbrush2 (3 hours of modeling) and rendered in max8 with Vray (I'm a beginner at it).

Instead of finishing my other personal projects (like Thor) I was just doodling in zbrush and came up with that concept.

I got inspired by Mr Bahu on the whole creature topic and the Vray render
I actually spent more time on the rendering then the modeling (Vray takes forever to render)

this is an update (I changed the chest area a little bit)



This is a screenshot of the view in Zmapper.



and the base I started from.

Nice looking concept and anatomy, Lil'sister; I reckon this one will go far
Digging the morphology from human to cheetah; nice!

[Harmonic]

Wow, that is really Beautiful, Really like it.

[Lil'sister]

Thank you guys! I still have a lot of work on it but I wonder if I should make it furry (short) or with skin pores like a humain?

[Lil'sister]

made a new render (at the top of the page).

I love the eyes as well as the ears! The way the light comes through the back of the ears is nice. I've haven't had a chance to use VRay yet. Is it easy to get good SSS results with it? My only exposure to sub surface has been mental ray.

Looks awesome V-Ray may take a long time but the results are very good And nice model too.. hope this Vray for maya will be out soon i heared great things about it how easy it was to render with it instead of mental ray.

[Lil'sister]

Thanks for the nice comments! about Vray and the SSS it's not actually real sub surface but rather tranclucency (I created a map for it) but I find it rather difficult to set up but I'm very new at Vray. for the whole subsurface thing mental ray is better in my opinion and not as slow to render! Vray is a very powerful renderer but I only scratched the surface of it, I would love to try maxwell too I've seen the most amazing result with it!.

[Prospect]
