Hi, your texturing and fur look wonderful man !

I’m discovering blender’s capabilities for hair rendering for my animals, do you have any tips for setting it up (number of children, size, lighting, aliasing) ?

Superb job so far.

@ Manou (Who els :D)
I Spitet the Fure in 3 Parikel effekt to have a better controll (Legs, Body, Head) But all the hair has one Material
For the Fure Children I unsed the Face option an about 1000 Children (Use Child Simplification)
the Lighting is 3 dot Light all Sunns
and the Aliasing is 8 standart.

@ Manou
I is better to used Spot Lights with Deep Shadows


Thank you man !

I try to get different colours on the fur like you did, but the strands don’t want to get the color from the diffuse map, are you using blender 2.5 ?

I use blender 2.5
it is quit smipel
You need 3 Texturs
Textur 1 is a simpel UV map Textur
Textur 2 is a Strand Blend typ it has to have 2 things 1. a Alpha this is the plays there Textur 1 shines trhu, and under “influens” is no kross except from “Stencil”
Textur 3 is a simpel UV map Textur witch has to look different.

took me same grey fur on my owne head :wink:

This are my Leafcutter ant
It is a bitt of a Theaser
They dont have a finished Material or a Rigg it is just Theasing


Very good modelling on the ants man, good luck animating them :smiley:

I’ve tried your advices, but I think I have a bug with my actual model, it’s working with a simple sphere but not with my animal :frowning: maybe related to sculptris auto UV.

anyway keep up the good work.
