DAMNADAS -Lilith-

The DAMNADAS Corp. presents: Predator-Bios 01:

We have 4 Bengal tigers in our "Jungle of the Tiger"-scene setup. Two male, and two female ones. Beside Sheila, Lilith is the second female and with an age of about 2 years the youngest of our grown up kitties with a weight of 214 Kg.
In the first time Lilith was a little bit shy and unskilled and let more than the half of the prey that was put in into her territory, escape. So often the other cats (Sheila, Jafar and Muro) got the prizes.
But this young girl has developed to one of our most popular predators, because she seems to be still a little kitty who loves to play with her prey a lot before killing it. As she does this often on glades where all cameras can took awesome footage of her play, the "Lilith-DVD" is one the best selled in our shops.
And she has developed a crush on young men as her prefered food. We try to guide as most as possible young, male guest-feedings to her territory. Normally Lilith performs a sucessful kill every week: 50% of her kills are Guest-Feedings, 30% Prey-volunteers and 20% lawfully condemned murderers.

As we took this portrait of our well fed-up lady, she just gnawed off some remaining flesh from her previous kill (Matt Stillwell, 23 yrs. old, a Guest-Feeding with a weight of about 70 Kg.) that she made two days before. A new flying cam was tested here that produced some ultrasonic-sounds that annoyed her and so she snarled and roared on it to defend her prey.

Matt's run will be published on one of our next Lilith-DVD's too: More than 20 minutes Lilith enjoyed her rendezvous with Matt, striking him down with playful paw-whipes, let him run a few meters, settling on him and ripping leisurely his clothes off.
Matt, however, did a great performance too with kicking and wriggling, screaming, useless tries to escape, short runs and so on too before Lilith killed him with a long and romantic "Kiss of Death" in the sunset.

You wanna meet Lilith as a Volunteer-Feeding? It's easy!
Ask our staff or fill out the "Volunteer-feeding" form in the visitor-center:
Choose: Mammals
Chosse: Big Cats
Choose: Bengal Tigers
Choose: Female
Choose: Lilith

You will be informed when Lilith's feeding-schedule is ready for you (that may took some months, she is really popular and young men are prefered) and then guided to an entry-point to her territory. There is no guarantee that she will be the one who get you, but a good chance of about 95%

Update 10.10.2012: Adding of some... flies! Around such a kill-site it must already smell a little bit strong and so there must be countless flies. So i add some flies. You can see them barely in the preview, but you would see them in the full size-download over the carcass.

Technical side:
This was again one of this works planned to be done in one or two nights that turned out as a work for a week: First planned only as some quick test for the new purchased Stonemansons "Return to the Enchanted Forest" i aligned the light-set of the first "Enchanted Forest"-set to it... Then i put the tiger in, developed a new sitting pose for it and applied and aligned the settings for the fur from my already fiddled out Leopard-preset to the tiger...
As the scene grows, i added some gnawed off remains of a recent kill... And tried the first render: Crash after 27% somewhere during the night... Paranormal activities?
Back to the scene i changed some details and tried a new render in a new window. This one runned... almost... through in about 13 hours... but DS crashed again at 99%, showing the hourglass of Windows7 all the time and don't let me safe the render that was obviously complete done in the render-window.
About 95% of the render-time was needed for the enhanced material-settings of the tigers maw. Guess, i exaggerated it a little bit with the settings there Before i shot down the crashed DS, i made a screenshot of the area with the tigers maw.
Third try: Back to the scene, i set the tigers maw to simple settings and randered the complete picture now in only about 20 minutes. In PSP X4 i loaded my previous screenshot of the maw and put it over the simple mat-settings in the complete render.... Saaaaave it.... Ouch! So much about "Quick renderjobs"

Rendered in DS 4 Pro, Post-production, blood, some corrections etc. made in PSP X4.
