A new image with my white tiger model. Modelled with maya, rendered with mentalray. Shave and a haircut for fur. Photoshop for the textures and for the final composite.
The main mesh is about 8k quads. I’ ‘ve used five hair systems for a total of 500k hair primitives.
I wanted to achieve a mix of real and fantasy look, I hope you like it!

Here is the trailer of ‘Hyenas’ directed by Eric Weston. I had the pleasure of working as Texture and Fur Artist on the 3D Hyenas models.

I’ ve had the pleasure of working with Wicked Pixels (www.wickedpixels.com) for the Hyundai (FIFA World Cup ’10 sponsor) commercial “Top Deer”. I’ ve created the wildebeest, the hamster and the impala models (modelling/texturing/fur).

A quick illustration with my squirrel model.
The model had been made for animation purpose, the mesh is pretty lowpoly, around 6k and it uses about 220k hair prims.
For an HD rendering it takes about 3 minutes, the original hires image is 3k and it took about 15 mins.

Another wildlife portrait, this time is a night shot of a leopard. I’ ve tested a pose/camera that could possibly better represent the feline.
I wanted a scene a bit over saturated even if taken in the night.
