How many faces or polys on it? Good luck with that. I suppose you can use it as a high LOD model.

I wanted to show wireframe,
newmodels 4096x4096 16bits
That's a bit of an oof in terms of memory budget in particular. You might be able to achieve a similar visual quality by dithering and then converting to 8 bit but achieving a significant reduction in memory cost vs slight visual degratation.
I will give that a try. Maybe tomorrow or sometime this weekend.
Oh, been busy working on water pump today. I want to get that texture lower.
Here is some hair I put on it. Not very realistic as of yet.
I imported the texture into krita for resizing. Not certain about dithering in krita, but the model looks almost the same at different resolutions. Maybe it's the distance from camera?
Here in top left corner is original, 4096x4096 16bit.
Top right is krita's 2048x2048 using bilinear filter downsizing it.
Bottom left is krita's 1024x1024 using bilinear downsizing the 2048x2048
and bottom right is krita's 512x512 downsizing 1024x1024 using bilinear filter.
After I put the images together I then down sized it using bilinear filter to 1920
newmodels Maybe it's the distance from camera?
Probably, certainly a part of it.
It now has 10k-- tris.
original design, but i would do some more work to improve the textures.
It's hard using blender for painting, if I could only have krita's tools inside blender.
normal map is fine, the diffuse is just 3 colors painted on the model. its way to clean. use your normal map to bake cavity maps and occlusion and use those to add detail and color variations on your model, just my 2 cents
I was able to make this one...
I then added a dirt layer.
newmodels alot better allready, are u using free software only? u can create a smooth curvature map in 'material maker' from your normal map. im also sure u can bake a curvature and cavity maps with blenders 'textools'
a simple trick is to overlay the curvature map over your albedo in krita to add detail.
but for best results its best to use a pbr texture painting tool for your materials
If you are going to make this a fur covered creature then perhaps consider adding some stripes or color splotches like on a painted horse or such perhaps?
I did add the curvature map that was made with textools.
I like the idea of putting stripes or splotches on it. Most cats I seen have stripes.
I made some changes. Here is the new rendering.
