Getting back on track

we had a productive meeting on monday worked out all the possible tasks that we need to do to get the film finished and worked out how we could best used our time to get this done.
it is very clear that we may need to get some help from other people to actually stand a chance of completing the film.
we still have many outstanding tasks to complete such as texturing, rigging the characters and of course animating!


I have been working on texturing the cat for a few days now which has gone okay. i strugled to find a way of making the cats fur look like fur without the use of maya fur which is way too much for the needs of our film. this is what the texture for the cat looks like so far..

I am pleased with the colour he is i would just like to find a better way of making his fur look more textured and shiny fur. i have read up about creating more shaders to get this look i want although i havet got further than creating a bump map for him to give him a textured apperance.
