RELEASED Hivewire Big Cat Has Begun!

[Szark]

I like what you guys did with the HW Horse and now Big Cats, I like the muscle tone of both animals which IMHO other well known Horse and Big Cats 1 and 2 lack. But what would really make me part with my money is more vascular displacement either sculpted in and a morph made for adjusting or via displacement maps so can I request that when the texture makers get to work can they add that level of detail please. On page 16 of this thread Chris posted a pic of the rear end of a lion.

Perhaps so, but this will work fine I feel. It's stylized a skoosh from something like this as a reference.

shows the full effect of what I am referring. Veins man, got to have veins.

I wish the HW Horse textures had this level of detail too. Yes there as some sign of it but when you look at many horses the veins are much more pronounced and more wide spread.

Go to your account, click on your name at the top right of this page and under "Preferences" (NOT Alert Preferences) look under the Options Section and pretty self explanatory from there. Mine we all unchecked.

I REALLY need to add, that the one thing most of the 3D world has wanted SO SO MUCH, is a KITTEN!!!

I tried to morph one, Diao tried too (with a teensy bit more success than I)... but when a kitten has : larger head, almost no neck, shorter tail, and body.. well it's been just too difficult to get out of the current models- even that outstanding Mil Cat model... so PLEASE could you put KITTEN on your list, Chris?? I'm sure it'd be a huge money maker!! (can't help it, I have a commercial minded ....um... MIND! lol!)

it's kind of an elusive difference... body more slender, bit shorter... legs/paws more slender... it's probably the lack of neck length, large head, large ears, large eyes, and skimpy tail ... just makes for the heart tugging "adorable" look, I think. Opinions?

Here's footage of the only known wild jaguar in the US

Wow, awesome Ken. Arizona huh? Didn't know there was any in the US.

Very cool!

 

[Chris]

Okay, showing snarl and growl type morphs here that I did today. These take some significant effort! Have not made any tongue morphs yet to match these shapes.

 

[Miss B]

WOW Chris!! I can feel his anger. Well done!!

 

[Rae134]

awesome! (god dang it I seem to say that a lot around here! I guess there's just so much around here )

Oh Kitty you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Kitty! hey Kitty!
