[QUOTE Paul is wrapping up the last of the conversion of our Baby Luna Expressions today, then he'll create imagery for it. Then he'll be back to finish up the Western Tack, then Shetland Pony rigging and conversion, then Asian Elephant rigging. THEN PROBABLY the HiveWire Big Cat rigging. So he's got a bit of work in front of him still.[/QUOTE]

OK I'm confused...I thought I just BOUGHT the Luna expressions IN the Luna head morph package? Is this another set ... of??

Different pack. Just like we have both "Head Shapes" and "Expressions and Visemes" for Dusk & Dawn, there's an Expressions and Visemes pack for Baby Luna coming - what just came out is the Head Shapes :)

We'll need poses too for Dawn, Dusk, and Luna to snuggle with the big cats! Because ... of course, the HiveWire Big Cat, just like the HiveWire Bee, loves us and would never claw, bite, or sting us.

(Thanks Lyne! I"m looking forward to getting that whole Nouvelle Aube set in the store.)

That's an amazing piece of art Laurie. Thanks for showing us the raw render as one can really appreciate all the post work you had to do to it to really bring it to life. I admit that I have the Big Cat 2 but never used it much at all. Kinda ugly. Overly big square paws, strange shapes to the head.. just turned me off. What Chris is doing is amaze balls to the walls.

Precisely why I didn't get it the head shape didn't look right...can't wait for this one.

Oh I remember it well. In fact, I saw one earlier today, so Tony hasn't been fully retired yet. :)

Noted about the topology concerns.

Work from today. Working on layout of head mesh and beginning to shape some things too. I think another full day of efforts on the head should get us a good solid head base.

Starting to look like a leopard/panther now and less like a lioness. Which is what I'm after.
