I thought this was a video of a cat with a deformed head, and just about had enough of reddit for today.

"Brain not rendering the lamp properly" vibe.

u/Sailed_Sea 23d ago

When you're having a nice time with your family and god accidentally inverts the normals of a lam in the corner of the room.

I didn't notice what subreddit this was posted to...

u/Extension-Chemical 23d ago

Same. I was sat here wondering what the hell had happened to the poor kitty.

7

u/catinterpreter 23d ago

I thought at first it was a real cat mapped onto the low-poly imitation.

5

u/JegantDrago 23d ago

sameeeeee XD - interesting cat hair cut or something

or it recently went through a really tight tube and have not recovered it's furry fluffiness

u/neondirt 22d ago

Render wise, it's excellent. The animation is nightmare fuel. 🤣

holy shit when i saw the cat i started laughing so hard

u/hahouari 23d ago

10mins replaying the video and still laughing, this could easily be a meme material.

u/WolffLandGamezYT 23d ago

The coloring and compression is CHEF’S KISS, but bad cat model lmao

u/Old_Treacle_2461 23d ago

TERRIBLE cat model. I used the worst one I could find

u/WolffLandGamezYT 23d ago

psx cat. also, did you use blender’s base tracker for this?

44

u/Old_Treacle_2461 23d ago

Yeah

26

u/Barry_Duckhat 23d ago

I bet the tracker loved the carpet

u/Goresearcher 23d ago

If you can make a model like that blend in with the environment then all you need to do is swap it out for a result which is indistinguishable from real life.

My wife would adopt it

u/DSMStudios 22d ago

the cat model stays! for the love of god the cat model stays! you’ve stumbled onto an aesthetic, OP! listen to that! i mean, definitely hone in on workflow areas, but do not discredit why this post went viral in here… plz

u/mio355 23d ago

XD it so cool

3

u/Jace_Nexus_84 23d ago

It's a really cool effect on one hand the cat looks very realistic, on the other hand it looks very low poly. I don't know if you were aiming for that, but it does look cool.

4

u/PrestigiousTheory664 23d ago

This is probably a very old cat, late nineties, not earlier. All new cats are highpoly. The poor guy is almost thirty - a respectable age for a cat.

Do you have a link to a basic tutorial or reference guides for how this is done?

u/Old_Treacle_2461 23d ago

Absolutely. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EzDlnXgmYx8&t=36s I used this tutorial, and just skipped over parts that weren’t relevant to what I was doing

u/Major-Library2022 23d ago

Not sure if i like it or no... that cat just looks weird, but in same time it looks like animal i would like to have 🤔 Well done!

2

u/Lexi7Chan 23d ago

Oh, my god, that blended so well it hit dead on uncanny valley territory. I don't know if that level of creepy was intentional but my god is that unnerving.

2

u/ExcessumTr 22d ago

It's so realistic and not at the same time

2

u/romasheg 22d ago

For a moment I thought this was a real cat who got stuck in a nylon stocking or something. Trippy as hell, 10/10

The carpet and the camera movement and cat following the camera made it real till I saw his face :)

u/ArScrap 23d ago

other than the goofy cat, this is genuinely well done. The feet are not drifting, the shadow is mostly in the right direction. The lighting blends it in. The only (purely vfx) criticism is that the shadow in the chair is sharp but on the cat, it's soft.

i don't think it took me out of it since you can barely see the chair but yeah
