before moving to cycles i have been trying to archive this with BI which was my unsuccessful effort obviously and here is a earlier test which was rendered in BI but dint come out much well
Ans here are some of the screen shots from my file …
WOOOOOW… this is drop dead beautiful… yea put a little wetness on the nose. I’m really surprised more people haven’t modeled dogs, as they are so beloved by most people. We had golden retrievers for many years. You just friggen nailed this in every way… I want to bring this little guy home with me.
very appealing, makes it straight into my heart … as others said, so only thing missing is some glossyness, fur, nose(!) but also claws and feet pads, but it is nitpicking, the work is great!
Exellent! Astro looks really good.
As mentioned, nose looks dry. I feel the backyard picture need more contrast. Propably remove the haze on the left side.
Ah Draguu:P Clever guy you are:) Great idea…excellent execution. Your fur is really impressive man and the eyes are spot on! Having had dogs all my life I would say the nose could be dry or wet:) I’ve seen it both ways but typically in peoples minds they associate a wet nose with a dog especially puppies hehe.
I tell you what I would like to see Draguu…some more of you animation stuff:) Hope your other projects are going well!
