Personally: I'd like to see Tiny to do her hair thing to what ever Snow Leopard textured offered, not that I most wouldn't likely purchase what ever texture was offered eventually...lol It's a cat thing, can't explain it, you have to have that gene activated by being exposed to cat hair on a regular basis....Though come to think it, it is not fully activated until you cough up your first hair ball......lol
If I know Laurie, once she gets to it it will be stellar, but I also know she has soo much to do atm, and yes, tiny's hair system would be a very good choice!! LOL !! On the furball!! Church has to have a special diet to cope with that as he is a domestic long hair and looks dreadful in the summer when he starts to shed if not combed on a regular basis.

I agree- I hope Tiny will do a Poser version! I am working away on LAMH presets for the various HW big cats. No one preset will work for all I am finding so will be doing other presets for the Leopard and also for the cub. This is a quicky "snow leopard" done using the Cougar morph as it is closer to a snow leopard's shape, and a very fast conversion from my leopard map which is not correct for a snow leopard but it will give you an idea. Also here is my Cougar LAMH preset which is almost done- needs a few tweaks.

Thanks Miss B and Wolffie!!

One more... for Miss B:) I did some dial spinning on the cougar to make a more snow leopard-ish face/head:)

If I'm snowed in again tom., I might start messing with the texture more/start on correct facial markings first.

Snow Baby!! Rawr!! Gorgeous Laurie!! I really like what you have done with the face and ears!! I dialed in the cougar 100% but still sort of looked like it didn't have enough volume in some areas for the leopard. Sorry too if you were not ready to work on this LOL needed something good to go with the background image.

I also added 100% Bulk under Body too in the later render. LOL actually a lot of a snow leopard's bulky look is all that thick fur. I def need to give him more belly fur in LAMH too.

I will give that a try next time I give it a shot ....... but, probably wont be until these lovelies are in the store. Not sure you can mix and match, but it seems a bit longer and thicker on the underside than the rest of the body. Are you planning on including the morph?

I can't wait to see what else you come up with for him. The Snow Leopard is my all time fave big cat. :D

Probably not since it uses the cougar as a base, but I didn't do that much- I can make a free chart of the dial spins I did. Once you put in the dial spins then it can be saved as a character for re-use.

I think the paws needs squish morphs as they look very bulky and rounded at the bottom end.

One cool thing I did just find in DS (not sure if there is a similar deal in Poser, but I do know an easy workaround to do the same thing) is to copy the figure I've just made above and I can load a new scene and new Big Cat and "paste to figure" so in essence making the cub shape in that new scene/figure. In Poser I've done it by just merging a partial scene with the morphed figure in it to another scene.

That is a pose morph that exists in the Big Cat /Cub and is pose dependent (if he had his paw up you wouldn't want that:) This is meant to be a base. ( the pads flatten morphs are under Body->Paws)

You can merge scenes in DS as well so if you can't save it as a character or a pose (don't know why either didn't work) you could save the scene and merge it anytime you like :)

Sometimes the pose won't save every thing, but if you also add the shape morph with the pose and save out as a property it tends to work.
