Cat 3D model WIP. I've been working on this guy the last days and nights, and decided to share some of the process. He has no textures yet, but the skin-like material makes him look lively even without them. I already love him <3
It's very challenging, as it's my second real animal model and I want it to look realistic and detailed. I use crazy amount of references, trying to get everything right. Before this I only made my creatures, but I'm glad I dared to try a real cat too ~
It's an oriental cat (or rather a peterbald - they are similar but have little or no fur), these cats were a huge inspiration for me in my own fantasy creatures.
This is kinda a rush job and I still haven鈥檛 really figured out how to do things correctly, but I sculpted Em鈥檚 holoform :,)
She kinda looks like she has brachycephaly because I made her face too flat uhhhhh-
I also tried sculpting Quantum鈥檚 holoform the night prior but I forgot to save and Nomad purged it the moment I went to go share this wip screenshot to my friends 馃拃馃拃馃拃
Some time ago I started a new realistic Kotie (my fictional fantasy feline species) 3D model, which is still a WIP, but I hope to finish it someday ~
(ignore the buggy rig, it's just for test the model in different poses)
This time I started from scratch, trying to correctly depict their anatomy, finally achieving the better feel of a smaller, very thin and leggy feline with some slight human-like features (they are quite an intelligent species and are kinda anthropomorphic, although not bipedal). In rethinking them, I was mainly guided by my early concepts (they feel smaller), and also my previous oriental cat model gave me some very helpful anatomy experience ~
