, a former tax accountant from Saitama Prefecture, was arrested for the torture and killing of at least 13 cats. He filmed these acts and uploaded them to the anonymous message board (now 5channel) The Japan Times .

What many found even more abhorrent was Oya's apparent lack of remorse. He attempted to justify his actions as "pest control," claiming he was simply exterminating "harmful animals," stating that cat urine and feces smell bad and that their claws are sharp. He even went so far as to tell a judge that he did not recognize the extermination of such animals as a violation of the law.

Mental health and social experts suggest that a portion of these crimes stems from individuals who feel marginalized or isolated from mainstream society. Lacking access to adequate psychological support, some individuals project feelings of powerlessness onto vulnerable targets, such as stray animals. Makoto Oya Cat Videos

In late 2017, authorities in Japan arrested Makoto Oya following reports of graphic and distressing content involving stray cats being uploaded to the internet. Investigations revealed that between 2016 and 2017, multiple animals had been subjected to severe maltreatment. The case gained international attention not only for the nature of the offenses but because the perpetrator utilized online platforms to broadcast the acts. Legal Proceedings and Sentencing

The horrific nature of the Oya case, particularly the fact that it involved a professional recording and distributing his crimes online, acted as a powerful catalyst for legal reform in Japan. Animal-rights activists, who had long argued that Japan's animal-cruelty laws were too weak, seized on the case to lobby the government for change. They demanded that punishments be increased for anyone found guilty of intentionally causing harm to animals. Crucially, they also pushed for legislation to . The case became a prime example of how the digital age can amplify and spread acts of cruelty, and why laws must adapt to address this new reality.

Unlike the frantic or "meme-ified" cat clips often found on Western social media, Oya’s work—primarily showcased through his "Nekomichi" (Cat Path) projects—emphasizes a slow, observational style that aligns with the Japanese concept of (healing).

Following the global outcry over the Oya case and similar underground networks, Japan updated its Animal Welfare Management Act in 2019 (implemented in 2020). The revisions significantly increased penalties:

The case gained the moniker "Makoto Oya Cat Videos" because Oya meticulously recorded his torture sessions and uploaded the footage online.

In August 2017, Tokyo police arrested Makoto Oya, then a 52-year-old tax counselor from Saitama City. Investigations revealed a harrowing pattern of systemic abuse: What many found even more abhorrent was Oya's

In the cluttered landscape of the internet, Oya provides a quiet, furry sanctuary of high-definition peace. Oya uses, or perhaps a list of featured in his most famous videos?

The search for "Makoto Oya cat videos" does not lead to lighthearted or "interesting" viral entertainment; rather, it refers to a notorious and horrific case of serial animal cruelty Summary of the "Review" If you are looking for content to watch, it is strongly recommended that you avoid these videos

The footage showed the torture sessions in detail, which Oya filmed himself and shared online, leading to his identification. Motivation and Initial Denial

This map is a synthesis between my original earth map, gradient mapping of the USGS DEM information, hand painting, DEM modulation of detail, bathyspheric depth information, and the USGS Ocean clip. Bathyspheric data was used to modulate the color of the water so that deeper areas are a darker blue than shallow areas.
This is pieced together exclusively from the USGS DEM database. It contains landmass elevations only, with the ocean at zero, and the top of Mt. Everest at 255. Use this as a bump map to give the appearance of the Earth's rugged surface features. Some madmen have also used this data in POV Ray as a displacement map on a very finely divided sphere to produce a "true" 3D version of the Earth. The 10K version is VERY large, so make sure you really need that much detail.
This is derived from USGS DEM data, with the addition of the Arctic ice areas which do not show up on USGS data (since they are not solid land masses.) Use this to control specularity and reflectance of the ocean surface.
1024 x 512 color image. Very similar to the night lights map as published by NASA on their Blue Marble Page. I took their 30000 x 15000 black and white city lights map, and adapted it with a color table to a colorized version of my earth color map. This comes in 2k, 4k, and 10k versions in color, as opposed to the maximum 2k size of the NASA version of this map (higher resolution versions are available on the paid page only because of their size). Be sure to have a look at the tutorials page for a special rendering tip for using this map.

The Moon is a tricky planetoid to render. It has a very distinctive albedo which remains constant across its lit side, regardless of the angle of the surface to the sun. Therefore, standard rendering lighting models do not apply, as they always have a characteristic drop off in intensity as the angle of incidence to the light source increases. In Lightwave, there is an option to use a "non-Lambertian" lighting model on a surface setting. In previous versions of Cinema4D, you had a contrast control in the lighting setup. More recent versions of Cinema4D feature an Oren/Nayar illumination model in the lighting setup which allows you to simulate the lighting properties of "rough" surfaces. This is the method I used on the same pictured here.

This map is based on a mosaic of satellite data, retouched for visible mosaic seams and for problems with the wrapping seam. Since this image contains highlight and shadow information independent of the location of your light source (inevitable because of how the moon is illuminated by the sun), you'll need to be careful how you light this so you don't break the illusion.

This map is my attempt to derive bump information from the above map. I did a high-pass filter operation to find all the edges of the craters, and then curved the result so that blacks and whites were white, and mid-tones were black. The results came out pretty well, as you can see from the sample image above.
