looks good Chris.
also works if wanting to create a sense of motion or ambient winds in a render.
For something like this are there going to be loose strands on forehead as well to make it look more random and roughed?
Wanted to ask here if anyone has seen the History of the Cat on one of the science channels (here it is 26 on cable) not sure of it was a PBS or WETA.....bad remembering stuff like that sine I just turn the dial until something strikes my fancy and then sit mesmerized for an hour or four!.......like a kid!!!!
Fascinating watch of some of the most popular breeds, world migrations and origins. I never knew there was a Cheetah-lkie big cat and a primitive ancestor of the African Lion here in the Americas for instance.

Lion is really looking great.

And absolutely, need a Cowardly Lion!

This was my 2011 version of the Tin Man (clutched by "flying monkeys"), Scarecrow (all in Black on ground), and the Cowardly Lion (dude on back on ground).

It was fun to put together, but an absolute nightmare to render since there are three M4s and all that ivy.

Looking good, Chris! Will you be doing asymmetrical morphs- for example, for windblown to either side and twisted clockwise/anticlockwise around his face? I know those are ones I've wished for on Harry's fetlocks (well, not twisting around the horse's FACE, naturally!). Or maybe I missed something about it earlier in the thread.

I'll see what I can come up with. There's soooo many hair sheets to manipulate and morph around. It's actually quite taxing.

I can do some randomizing. Good idea.

Have not seen the Program. The American Cheetah, Miracinonyx, probably descended from the cougar and is not a real Cheetah. The Lion evolved in Africa, not America. The only lions found in America are the extinct American Lion, Panthera leo atrox, and Cave Lion, Panthera leo spelaea , the former probably derived from the latter, which migrated from Eurasia. The only big cats preceding the Lion are the Sabertooths, namely, Amphimachairodus coloradensis and Nimravides catacopsis .

What I have always known but according to researchers of the show who based their supposedly, on genetic testing and excavations findings that is not the way it went. I now nothing and just base my comments on what i have read and heard.
Like I said the show was really interesting.

Looks great Chris. So the last screen grab is the base or the top one? I like the top one as it's laying more naturally rather than fluffed up when on the run or snarling like you have him doing.
