RELEASED Hivewire Big Cat Has Begun!

[Chris]

We're putting more efforts on the Lions now. Should start seeing more happen with this mighty beast.

 

[Janet]

Can't wait! Or should that be Cat wait?

Here are some renders done using Chris's latest mane shapes for our Lion! I am still working on the base textures/tweaking things and getting a good transition from face to mane but it's coming along! Lioness is just about done. I need to do the cute cub coat still too.

Lion Mane Base:

Lion Mane Flare 50%

Lion Mane full Flare:

[Satira Capriccio]

Very!

My two kitties would so jealous if I brought one of those home.....

 

[Desertsilver]

Just beautiful!

 

[RAMWolff]

I like. Suggestion.. is there a way to stagger the transmapping a bit more as currently I see a very sharp line around the lions head where the mane starts.

 

[Miss B]

Gorgeous as usual Laurie.

That is what I said in my first post- I am still working on the transition from the face to the front of the mane. It's a bit tricky.... def certain lighting makes it show more than others as well.

 

[RAMWolff]

I know, transmapping can be a bit tricky for sure hon!

 

[CWRW]

Thx Wolffie!

So FWIW here are some iray renders of the base mane.

 

[Chris]

Love them all Laurie. So glad you're far enough along to share some of your wonderful work. I'm going to grab a few of them to share on facebook so folks can see how awesome this animal will be.

Excited to see what others say about all this.

Love the iray too.

Looking AWESOME guys!! I will try to direct Deviant Art interest to here. I love the wild mane/hair look !!

 

[LisaB]

Wow! I've seen the WIP images getting to this point and it just keeps getting better and better! I love the new morphs and the fuller mane and the transmaps are coming along nicely!

for sure!

 

[Chris]

I'm really digging the transition in color and value as well.

 

[Harimau]

How long before it gets to the Shop???

Spent the day working on the Lion Cub texture... a bit more to go but a good start. Cute little bugger
