Whell, my expeiment in making fur with alpha texture has produced… wool.
So i have put it on a sheep…
Work heavily in progress. I have to remove seams, improve the wool, make my first attempt in UV mapping the sheep face an legs, create a scene…
I’ll take it slowly!!!
Comments, suggestion and crits are welcome, of course!
THe black sheep in the family eh 
? looking good that’s an awsome model. Did you model that or did you get it from a site. The only crit I could give is that you might want to add some more layers to that wool to make it look more wooly
Hi Jackblack!
Yeah, the black sheep, maybe i am…
Right for the layers, i think i will add one or two… now they are only three and rendertime is under 1 minute.
The ship is my work. It takes me a lot to model!
The fist model of the sheep (and of the previous version of fur/whool too) is in my little gallery at Sixmonkeys

Cool modelling! The fur is great too!
Thanks!!! This is very encouraging!!!
fur is ok, model is cool, now you must work on the skin 
your model deserves a great texture
nice fur, i really like it, but the sheep looks a bit strange 
The eyes are looking good, and I think I figured out how you did the wool too:
am i close? 
Hi, thanks efbie!
about the strange sheep f41t3r, i agree with you, but i’m not able to see what exactely makes her strange… maybe the ears, or the legs… what do you thik it is? I would like to solve this. Thanks for the comment!
Hi JordanK! Yes, very very close.
I subdivided only the last (external) copy but not with fractal.
Every level has two image textures for wool ( apha), and a stucci for bumpmap and displacement. the inner ones are more little, textures and shape too are scaled. Texture is the same, the old one! Plus a new one , that is"softer". Scaling is with the fatten function (alt-s).
The making of this is quite similar to the old one.
Now, time to start working on uv mapping…
Good stuff! I like your avatar, too. I’m really impressed with how quickly you’ve gotten good at modeling…
I think with quite a bit of work, you’ll likely be one of the next great talents in the Blender community
Thanks paroneayea… i need --> a lot <-- of work to become a decent modeler!
The avatar is the very first char i made in Blender.
It has no osa, no subsurf on last spheres… but it’s my first creature %|
Now, a little update: my first uv mapping!
I also changed the head shape, it was too short and curved.
And the eyes were too rounded.
Legs and ears UV mapping are still missing.
Great model, needs better lighting.
A little update, a scene!
Thanks Dittohead, i’ve worked on light too, i have added some colored ones too, to make the sheep match with the photo on background (the photo is from a cd, not my stuff).
Comments and crits welcome!
And a full size one:

ok, but it feel like the sheep is paste on a photo, maybe wrong lighting match? Also you should get some shadow on the ground from these legs.
nice
nice
Thanks!!!
Agree about the shadow, i will put them.
The jpg picture looks quite different from the original… it seems corrupted. Especially the full size one. I think i’ll come back to png format, trying to keep pictures small just not to destroy bandwith.
Bye!
Please, dont’ look at my english…
great stuff, you should model a real scene in blender though… that would work… for me this doesn’t.
I wasn’t satisfied with the first scene, so i have started playing with lights and changed the bg photo.
the result is colourful
Now i think i should better go on with the Blender guide and finish some older projects that i have left…
i don’t know if i’m going to keep on the sheep too.
Time is limited and school exams are getting closer… 
héhéyyyyyy cool…
I Like your idea, sheep, nature, simple, and efficient… cool
I thinks the last image is too contrasted… and yellow and orange are too saturate…
Good luke for the suite
