Very cool Chris...it just gets better and better. I don't suppose we have anyone who knows how to set this kitty up in LAMH?

Ah ha! So that's why the big cats can run through the brush so easily. Their dangly bits aren't really all that dangly. Instead, they are tucked up nice and protected behind everything.

And yes. They will work just fine.

I used to volunteer @ the S.Diego Zoo and remember noticing how little muscle definition actually shows on most of the big cats in the rear... When I drew them from life I'd have to add a little muscle to make them look 'right'. This pic shows it really well.

Kitty is looking wonderful! So much fun to watch his creation. Can I ask why you choose Mudbox over Z brush?

Thanks for your kind words there.

I'm modeling in Modo. I like it a lot, and the set up in Modo for handling and creating morph work is great. Nothing against Zbrush.

I agree with others, Chris, you are a modeller extraordinaire. Please dont take my joking comments as criticism.

That he does.

Welcome to the HiveWire forum Talihawk. Or is that welcome back? :)

Either way...welcome Talihawk! Isn't Kitty just gorgeous! I'm hoping that we can find someone who knows LAMH so that we can get presets for fur...I know at one point there was discussion about creating a version for Poser as well as DS. I'm trying to see if I can find out if it was ever made.

Pen, I'm not sure if Alessandro is going to do a Poser version of LAMH or not. He released a Poser version of his wolf model recently, but he did the fur for it using the Poser dynamic hair, rather than LAMH.

I'm working on learning the creation side of LAMH. I am not yet able to do work on the level that the kitty is going to need, but it's one of my long-term goals, to be able to generate my own animal furs and such. So maybe one day. :) Just.. not yet. LOL

There was an old thread which I've resurrected where they were trying to find out if there was sufficient interest over at Daz but it wasn't updated so I think you're probably right. It would be good if it was as the presets would be interchangeable. Good luck with working on developing your skills. The person we probably need is Alia...she's done some hair presets that she's released over at furry things.

The last reply I saw about LAMH for Poser was from Kendal Sears saying that Poser had changes that was causing them to have to 'find a different method' to complete LAMH for Poser. That was Nov 15/15. So they do appear to be working on it!

That would be great. I know I absolutely love the LAMH in Studio. I think you Poser folks will love it also, if they can get it together to work in Poser! It's such a great plugin. :D
