Housepets!

looking good but the fur looks patchy in some places Mostly, thats just a bit of discoloration due to an unfortunate mixup of colors. I was able to fix the discoloration for the most part with the mighty gimp, and I ended up lengthening the fur slightly to smooth it out a bit. Thank you for the con...

I made shape keys that allow him to open his mouth (no teeth. Sorry. I didn't think I was going to make the mouth open until later, when the window of opportunity for such details was quite the opposite), smile, frown, blink, and look around. More renders will have to wait, though. This last one too...

Almost done with the fur. I need to add some longer fur around the head, some around the joints, and roughen the color transition to the hands and feet, but I wanted to make a small update. You may notice a bit of discoloration in the gray fur. Small mistake that shall be soon rectified, I assure yo...

Just switched to arch linux. Took at least 14 hours in two 7 hour bouts to set up. Wooo!

Also, Completed flat coloring. ON TO TEH FURS (after shapekeys. Dangit)

PHEW! Time flies when everything is happening at once. Sorry for taking so long with this update, but I wanted to actually have some progress to show. It is getting pretty close. This is the face before reapplying the topology McKade_FacePrev.blend.jpg Here is the face after. This was exhausting, an...

My spirit animal appears to be the Owl. "The owl spirit animal is emblematic of a deep connection with wisdom and intuitive knowledge. If you have the owl as totem or power animal, you’re likely to have the ability to see what’s usually hidden to most." This is absurd of course. My eyesigh...

People who are making it up as they go will sometimes come up with great ideas, other times they come up with inefficient roundabouts methods because they don't know the alternative exists... given this one requires building the model twice, i would guess it's the later in this case. You might be r...

For one thing, i always use a blinn-shaded preview and soft edges, not a constant shaded one or hard edges, unless something is supposed to be rigid or pointy. It's easier to spot errors in the shape when it looks smooth regardless of polycount. I am admittedly uncertain of how this can be done in ...

Sorry for the delay. College has gotten a bit hectic. This is the basic mesh. I added another toe to the feet, but it was after applying the subsurf to the mesh on a different version, which I am currently attempting to make a new topology for. The strategy I am attempting to follow is getting down ...

okay... that polycount might be an issue. I've always found it a better idea to build low poly first, and then dial it up later after all the basic shapes and proportions are right. otherwise if you need to adjust things you have a ton more to keep track of. especially the hands and feet, it's real...

i knew i recognised that character! that's Loan Shark, isn't it? Heh. Shhhh. My little brother was in the inner circle of the Qwuedeviv universe for a while, and did a bit of work on a potential voice over thing for the comics. Guess which character he was voice acting for. Also, Status update on M...

Nice models, snappyfox. What program do you use? I've been looking to get a 3D model of Douglas for a simple 3D printed figurine or D&D style game piece. Do you think you could make a 3D Doug? Here's a good reference , and the other stuff in my gallery would help get an idea of the back. Also, K...

Thanks for the quick replies! Those are pretty good options. I can probably start this weekend. I think yours, Buster, will be great for animation especially. If its not too much trouble, that design would be great. I am really looking forward to trying out some of the hair tools in Blender, so I ma...

I am just a beginner with 3D modeling, texturing, and animation. Using Blender is great, but it can be difficult to learn the details without having a specific project or goal. To that end, I am looking for some characters to turn three dimensional for practice. Does anyone have any characters that ...

A steady hand is all it takes To make a painting shine A singer's mouth is all that's needed To bring the air a chime A conscious mind is all that's required To formulate a rhyme But of all the things touched by light I think that you will find Most difficult by far is to bring life Into the bright ...

OOOOOHHHH. Nice catch!

And so it begins.

Ah, but some random guy is the best source of opinion in this random guy's opinion. Or is that a self defeating victory? What if there are some absolutes in the human psych. Certain structures in our brain that react in a similar way throughout our species to certain stimuli. I just wonder if some t...

Anyways I'm a guy, and enjoy art and programming What about programming art? Welcome to the forums. rest assured, the people here don't bite, just bark. And meow. Did I say people? Anyway, have fun and do good stuff(is that what I am supposed to say?). I am a novice to intermediate programmer mysel...

It's not a requirement to be involved with the "dark side" of a fandom to actually be a member of it. The members of the dark side disagree. I asked. In my opinion, you are correct, but what if the true nature of a fandom is inherently dark, but it has been perverted (in the most backward...

Don't blame him for being foxy.

"Heh heh heh... Hey, wait! Where are you taking me? No! It was funny! lemme go! NOOOOoooooooooo"

The problem was removed. It wont happen again.

So many mixed feelings. I am pretty old (trapped (cursed to be?) in a young person's body), and easily embarrassed. My hope is that the nudist community bit wont be stressed too greatly. Otherwise, the animation looks great, and I think they are doing a great job with the anthropomorphic proportions...

That only happens when he gets a really good idea. So far, still floating, but its getting harder the longer he stays here.

That is excellent life advice, when you over think about it.

But really, shattering glass notwithstanding, a breath of fresh air is something we could all use. Good job venting that frustration.

Specifically, out a window.

Mine is a furry of indiscernible species (probably predominantly feline) relaxing on a cloud, thinking deeply about something. I wanted to make my own avatar, and though art is not my specialty I think I got lucky on this one. Sometimes, make-believing that I am a consciousness floating in the air, ...

Could any of the short stories become comics? There seems to be fertile ground for lengthy stories to grow, if you wanted them to.

I disappear for a week and new people show up. Maybe I should disappear more often! :P Not a chance! Thank you for being so welcoming. Don't go disappearing on us. Greetings, sir Roose. Forums can be a bit frightening at first, like being the new kid at high school. Of course this analogy doesn't w...

The Boys spring into winter by jumping in the pool. It’s not how they should do it But it’s better warm than cool.

Greetings, sir Roose. Forums can be a bit frightening at first, like being the new kid at high school. The advantage is that everything that has happened is on record, so you can become familiar with the members at your leisure. Once you feel comfortable, participate. You only get out what you put in.

With a face like that, who wouldn't?

*whistles*
That was fast.
Thank you for the welcom Saturn381. You shall always be the most beautiful planet in my opinion. (behind Neptune, that is. Sorry. That blue is just my color.)
Thanks for the heads up, Obbl. Diss seemed so kind and fluffy... oh well. Plethora of furious doom-acorns it is.

So... I was impressed by the number of replies to each introduction. I hope I don't get spoiled by your hospitality; It is not a common thing. woo. What to say? I like to think. A bit too much, it seems, as I have rarely caught myself doing anything important, being too busy thinking about doing som...
