And here at long last is a final render of my panda model Li Na.
This has taken me over five month to create, working an average of about two to three hours a day, roughly. This is the first complete project I have taken right from nothing to finish, and has been a lot of learning.

All the modeling was done in Lightwave 9.5, the fur was created using the Sasquatch plugin from Worley Labs, and the dynamic cloth was created using the Syflex plugin from Syflex LCC.

The original render was done at 1920 X 1080 and took approximately 23 minutes to complete.

My next step will be to animate this character in an actual 3D environment

Im looking for lots of criticism on this piece, since I would like to improve it as much as possible.
