Vampire Bat by AM

Anybody else have any images they'd care to share of Alessandro's latest creation?

Even though I picked it up as soon as it came out, I'm just now getting around to actually rendering it. Definitely the highlight of March Madness for me so far.

I like to get a set of mats all good-to-go for my NPR work and render some references - including how the item gets rendered at various distances/scales in different styles:

It's a very complete package that includes LAMH presets, Iray and 3DL mats, and poses. It even comes with a sleeping pose. Wish I had this guy way back when I was working on the image of Nosferatu hanging out getting some shut-eye with his little buddies! I'm sure it would look much better than the 2D cutouts I used at the time. Oh well, maybe I'll get around to re-doing it someday.

I’ve been eying it since it came out. It’s a gorgeous looking model and even though I don’t have any immediate plans/needs for it, I have been thinking about grabbing it anyway just to support AM’s incredible work!

Oooh squeeel!  I love bats and I want this one.

I have several ideas, including hiding most of it so I can make a bat-headed figure.

Or convert LAMH to fiberhair so I can attempt to use my Toon on it... hmm

Yeah - LAMH doesn't render properly (in 3DL) when some shaders are applied if left as curves (had to convert to fibermesh). Looking forward to seeing what you come up with your new shader.

I was originally going to do this with color but there was too much texture information in the color to make me happy. I could have recolored by matID or something like that, but... went with B&W drawing.
