Description
~Neko Team~This pic started when I wanted to create a new bell for KahoChan, my little cuddly cat girl. I added the Mini-Cooper to match with her new bell, and then this turned into a racing theme. It was a good chance to practice painting this car with shiny black and yellow, plus some nice reflective glass effects. All of the car materials are procedural except for the reflexion maps. KahoChan can't wait to try the car in the track!
Thanks for coming by!

Oh yes, and that's the case with the current Democratic Congress we have now. They were the minority but now are the opposite.

Ironically, the congress is currently in vacations, while our troops are dying in Iraq everyday. That's what's life is worth for all I know... T_T

Wow wow! Very cute, the reflections are great too.

Thank you! I think the car looks much better with the reflexions. ^^

where's the disclaimer that says: "catgirl not included" :/...cause i hate mini-coopers but I'd buy one if it came with the catgirl XP..........does it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We could dream about mini coopers that come with a free cat girl (or two), but only if you call in the next 10 minutes! Offer valid while supply lasts. Not available on states where catgirls are forbidden by law. Must be over the age of 18 to be eligible. Not valid in conjunction with other offers.

hmm..I think those rules apply to me XD

Have you watched Hyper Police TV series?
That's the best catgirl character I have seen so far. ^^

hmm..nope...o.0...but i know the catgirls from there

There is actually only one called Natsuki. ^^
She's one of the main characters.

the one with green hair right???that's it???only her..i thought there were 3 :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All characters in that show are furries, but Natsuki is the only catgirl.
The other main character is a nine-tails fox. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She's actually 8-tails, but she believes that she can become a full 9-tails if she kills Natsuki (the catgirl). So she disguises herself as her "friend" and tries to stab her on the back many times...

just like in real life girls kill the pretty one

But the fox is a hottie too!

Thank you! Hope you liked her new bell. ^^

Yeah ^^
The bell looks fantastic. Just wish I had the patience to learn Metasequioa (sp?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe Metasequoia is not such a good option for you, since it is officially not available outside of Japan and all of the forums and tutorials are in Japanese. Have you tried Blender3D? It is a *FREE* professional grade 3D modeler with a huge community that has been established for years now. It may not be much of intuitive or easy to learn, but it has much more support and learning materials than Metasequoia will ever have in English.

An old friend of mine bought and shipped me a copy of Metasequoia a year ago. I just lack the patience to make something. I have what I want planned out, but the problem is I want it now. One of my little quirks thanks to Aspbergers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Any luck finding training materials or decent tutorials?
Does it ship with any? As far as I know, even the help files are in Japanese.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, just help files in Japanese. If I can find my CD Key for Universal Translator 2.0 I could do a decent machine level translation of the help files.
And get a good laugh or two reading them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha, I have met a number of people here who try to communicate using translator programs, and the English output is hilarious!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yeah, perhaps in a couple of years we'll have AI driven translation systems that will liven things up. ^^

There is already a *semantic* translator, which is much more efficient than a word-by-word literal translator without a context. Those use to be VERY expensive, though. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, at best I think I have machine level 2 translation software. Still what it used to spit out when I ran a web page through it... its amazing I have anything to laugh off at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think semantic translators are different in the sense that they analyze the context of the text and the grammar related to it. As an example, a syntax-based translator costs around $80 while a semantic one starts from $3,000.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... I must have the reject translator then. Mine only cost me $9.95.
If I can find the CD key for the thing I can run the help documents through it. And if it works with Windows XP... bought it for Windows 95... So I'm not expecting much.

I know what you mean. I bought a 3DSMAX plugin for Windows XP and now it doesn't install on Vista...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Didn't Microsoft hint at XP applications being compatible with Vista?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They never said that. What they said was that *some* would be, and to some point. So far nearly all of my XP programs work (or partially work) in Vista, but not the ones that depend on DirectX's DirectDraw and some other things that were removed from Windows Vista.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll upgrade when Vista has a service pack or two and I get a new mainboard, chip, ram, and video.

I was having the kind of expecations concerning Poser 7, waiting for the SR-1 to come out. Now that it did, I was sort of disappointed because there are major flaws on the new ambient occlusion and HDRI rendering that were not fixed. T_T
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm... I haven't even created a single scene with Poser 7 yet. Been busy with getting tar, feathers, torches, and pitchforks ready to welcome Comcast technicians.

LOL, now that sounds like a WARM reception!

Well they don't seem to care there's a router on their network thats been whackadinghoy for the past 4 months. So if rusty pitchfork tines to the behind don't get them working on it...

Thank you! KahoChan's clothes was one of my early 3D projects in 2004, and the biggest challenge was to create her fully posable 4-fingered custom cat paw hands. Like most things in life, the more we do, the easier it gets. I created the new bell for KahoChan last night and this deviation was to show it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you use poser to make the gloves? Or did you use another 3D program.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Poser is not a 3D modeling tool, so it cannot be used for creating any new contents.
I use 3DSMAX to create the models and Poser for the rigging and setting up materials. ^^

Thank you! Buy a mini cooper today and get a free cat girl! LOL

Very nice render 
I notice you say you didn't want to use raytracing, because it adds time. But I reckon you should give it a go - just a couple of bounces, and see how long it actually takes. I don't find it adds too much time to my renders, but every system's different
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! I actually used raytracing to cast the shadows (3 bounces), but not for the reflexions. I am not sure how would I create the surroundings for raytraced reflexions around the car in Poser. I used gave it a reflexion map and turned raytracing on, but as you can see, KahoChan is not reflecting on the car paint. Perhaps Poser rendering is not good enough for that, or I just don't know how to set it up. ^^

If you plug your reflection map into the background of your reflection node, you can get the best of both worlds, like I did here [link] and here [link] If you got the 2Cute set for Aiko from Daz's March Madness, all the reflective materials do that
