[Released] Rakshasa with dForce Hair for Genesis 8 Male [Commercial]

Oso3D

Ha ha! Very excited to bring tiger man!

 

Note that the eyes, claws, body, and head are all separate morphs, and the tail is a parented posable prop (so you can move it where you like, remove it, give him 6 tails, whatever you want).

Also, yes, a female version is on her way.

FREAKIN INSTANT BUY!

Nice work. These look awesome!

jedijudd

It was a instant buy for me to, and thanks for making a female version also looking forward to it

Uthgard

I cannot justify buying it right now, seeing as I already have the Dreamer's bundle and the Tomcat, but this is incredibly well done--I feel that's a step above your previous work on anthros. Wishlisted for sure

Oso3D

Uthgard: I do think my work evolves, and thank you for noticing. ;)

 

Xenomorphine

Somebody had better render this smiling with a bowl of cereal.

That'd be grrrrreat.

Realtiy Sculptor

Even though I don't work with a lot of male figures, this is definately a buy to continue to support the artist and continued production of this type of product.  

Greybro

Oso3D, please make a werewolf/wolfman with this kind of hair setup?

 

Oso3D

Eventually, I'm sure... but there's already been a number of werewolves/wolfmen.

I DO have ideas... among stuff I'm considering:

Anthro: Fox, rabbit/hare, other great cats, horse (Horseman, of course), Red Panda, Raccoon, other types of dogs (longer muzzled, like hounds and labradors and so on), and I REALLY ought to make a bear...

NAO!

SBibb

This looks awesome! :-D

So... anyone have a render of a blend between the new Rakshasa and FelineFolk? Say half and half on the morphs? Or Rakshasa with the Felinefolk fur, or vice versa, if that's possible?

I'd definitely be curious to see those results. :-D

WendyLuvsCatz

put him in wishlist 

know I need a 2080ti and more RAM before I can render these awesome strandhaired furries from experience so that I need to save for first 

Oso3D

Wendy: What kills me is that I've experimented with getting really 'proper' fur and it starts looking totally realistic at about 100x as much hair.

Which almost none of us can render yet.

But the tech is there, some day...

It's way better than it used to be, though!

Rawn usually handles that whole subgenre in all base figures, but there's always room for more Werewolves in my book. This hair renders REALLY fast though. Impressive setup.

Oso3D

Thank you! By this point I've worked out a lot of tricks to keep fur count as low as possible, create the feeling and look of fur. It requires juggling the fur, the underlying skin texture, and so on.

I also ended up making my own dForce Hair shader to make things work in a way I find easier.

You'll note that unlike some of my other furs, this one is divided into pieces:

There's something about the mesh, UV, and hair generation that often causes some parts of the body to be sparse. Previously, I tried to get cute about it and compensate by making density maps such that the (say) hands are very dense and the rest of the body is less. This is really ... hard.

Another issue is that the body typically is fine covered with coarse, less dense amounts of fur, while the face, hands, and feet often look better with finer, shorter, more dense hair.

So... I ended up making two different pieces. The Body fur covers much of the regular body, with somewhat wider, less dense fur. The Extremities covers face/hands/feet, with finer, dense fur.

I think it's a winning strategy.

And then I added a third for the mane, to make it easier to set it at the right scale. You can probably remove or hide the mane and still have a pretty convincing tiger, if you want to save render load. (Or for younger tigers)

Freakin Diggin this one! This is a 5 minute render.

My PC is a lot happier with this arrangement than other dense Dforce Hairs. Are the white ones the guide hairs by chance?

Oso3D

White should be guide hairs yes.

Also, if you look at the orange and green fur, you can use it as a starting point for creating your own color combinations.

 

gitika1

The teeth really aren't really shown in the promos.  What little can be seen indicates that the character does not have tiger teeth.  Is that correct?

Oso3D

Sort of in between?

 

KetsyCola

This was an instant-buy for me. Oso, I absolutely adore your anthropomorphs. They're so well-made! Splendid job!

Oso3D

Thank you, Ketsy!

The nice thing is that there's a lot of room for different styles. MAB and WillDupre do amazing work with a somewhat more animated, humanish look. RawArt has been creating all sorts of cool near humans for a while now. JoeQuick with some astonishing creations (hedgehog?!? What the what). Alessandro hasn't done many but wow! Hippo people hahaha.

So hopefully there's something that suits everyone. ;)

If nothing else, kudos for doing the male version first!

Please tell me more about setting up custom combo fur colors. That sounds like fun.

Greybro

The final version of the above render. 

Oso3D

I made a custom hair shader for two reasons. First, I found a lot of the regular hair shader more stuff than I needed to use, and found it a little confusing to get the look I wanted.

Second, I wanted to have diffuse overlay, so I could play around with mix and match color patterns.

The tiger stripes are used as a diffuse overlay mask, with a base color and a diffuse overlay color. You can simply change those from green and orange to... whatever. Or substitute your own mask patterns (granted, that's a bigger challenge)

I really do like this guy, but may I ask, what's the geometry load at render time? I only have a 6gb graphics card and I'm wondering if he'll even fit.

Oso3D

From render:

Iray (Statistics) : Geometry memory consumption: 1.158 GiB (device 0), 0.000 B (host)

Iray (Statistics) : Texture memory consumption: 869.000 MiB for 32 bitmaps (device 0)

Iray (Statistics) : Lights memory consumption: 196.000 B (device 0)

Iray (Statistics) : Material measurement memory consumption: 0.000 B (GPU)

Iray (Statistics) : Materials memory consumption: 147.570 KiB (GPU)

 

zombietaggerung

Oh, that's not bad at all. Thanks.

Is it safe to assume that your Feline Folk furs can be used on the tiger body/head as they're both for G8M? Ideally, what I'd be looking to do is use a G8M body shape with the tiger head shape and Feline Folk fur to hopefully get at some Khajiit-styled fanart. (The tiger fur would work for Khajiit as well, but I love the kitty patterns too and Khajiit come in all sorts of kitty colors from big cats to tabbies.)

Oso3D

What I would do is load the FelineFolk, then dial out the FelineFolk head and dial in the Tiger head. That way you have all the right textures and whatnot.

That should work. I'm not 100% sure the noses will line up perfectly, but it should be close.

I'll check when I'm done with current render.
