Check this out.

Laurie's latest texture map work on the mane. Here she's mapped the geometry collar for the face that she's had me create. Loving this. Looks awesome. The transition from face to mane looks quite smooth and natural.

Can we get a fly around for that, consdering it will take a few other years to get it done? This looks entirely awesome.

So now we're anticipating the giant rat of Sumatra? Cool.
Actually people have been clamoring for a ferret for quite some time. (Especially if you can get fur onto it.) And I was working on an illo just this week where I could have really used a weasel (and a lynx, for that matter). Had to make do with photographs.

If we had ferret model, I don't think it would take much to do a weasel morph, that would be cool

Agreed, would be awesome. Hey, if I can finish out this rat to look legit, and I believe I can. Then I'm certain we can get a ferret/weasel too.

And a hamster? I've always wanted to animate one going around in a wheel.

 

[Miss B]

Oh Janet, that would be fun.

 

[Janet]

Wouldn't it? I tried it with the hamster that's at Daz right now but it's not rigged for doing that too well.

 

[carmen indorato]

I was thinking of creating a new scifi like image and have been using the DAZ Big Cat. But if The Hivewire Big cat has what I need I will pick it up since I will need to get it to use the cool Lion. I need for it to have well pronounced BIG rippling muscles and morphs so the muscles look more massive and well defined. The final creature will have a beard of sorts and ram horns for final render....as I say SCI-fI!
I have not seen this feature in any of the renders but thought.....HOPED....it was because it was not something the users wanted to highlight in their renders. So decided to just ask here.

Sorta like this:

 

[Harimau]

Still waiting for the Lion to appear in the store. In the meantime, just a little information on the length and density of a lion's mane. It is not just due to the lady's preference for long, thick hair. Apart from good nutrition it, appears that temperature plays a big part - the hotter it is, the shorter and less dense is the mane. The poor fella needs to cool down! For more information see 'Developmental Effects of Climate on the Lion's Mane (Panthera leo)' (Developmental Effects of Climate on the Lion's Mane ( Panthera leo ) | Journal of Mammalogy | Oxford Academic)

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Now that the dog is released, Paul has begun rigging the lion. Woohoo!

(Chris posted an update in the HiveWire Ruckus Character topic when asked about Ruckus's armor.)

we pulled Paul off of it to rig the Dog. And now we have Paul back on rigging the Lion with mane as of this morning.

So excited about the Lion family. Laurie is oh so very close to having all her map work done on it.

 

[carmen indorato]

PLEASE!?
These cats are gorgeous!

 

[JOdel]

Dinoraul has a Smilodon over on Rendo. Would need hair though. And it's an old product, so I can't say the rigging is up to date.

 

[carmen indorato]

he has always made decent stuff. I have a few of his characters. Had you said it was something over at CP I would have balked but because i have used his stuff I feel pretty confident it works just fine. But, would prefer getting the proven better product based on the HiveWire big cat and hope it comes out with the Smilodon/Sabretooth morph/texture set before I pass away.

the mage above looks more like it could be made from the HW Big Cat if it is ever offered.
