Thanks. Well I plan on using the model in a stillshot, but I still have to rig it completely to get it into place so perhaps I will make a short movie later just for fun. Well the pattern was made using the Adobe Photoshop Pen tool, then I just stroked the lines with a simple brush. And then I used the paint bucket to fill it, later I did some blurs and I also cut a simple pattern in the main orange part. And hmm correct lightning? Right now I'm playing around with Mental ray final gathering. Maya fur have never been my friend so I dont plan on using it at the moment but I might try it out later just for fun.
