Tigger

 

[eclark1894]

I'm spending the bulk of my time right now wrapping up efforts on our Mule Deer. However I will be starting on our Tiger before too long. I'm looking forward to it. It will be the best Tiger available.

The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!

I'm still waiting for a Snow Leopard. ~hint, hint, hint~

 

[Ken1171]

The tiger and the cheetah are definitely some of the most exquisite large felines to me. I saw the white tigers in Las Vegas, when they were already in captivity. I have also seen lions and leopards in person, but never a cheetah. In a way, maybe that was a good thing, because I wouldn't want to see an animal built for the ultimate speed in a cage.

 

[Harimau]

Besides the Tiger, I would love to see a Clouded Leopard. The Clouded Leopard is called Harimau Dahan (Arboreal Tiger) in Malaysia - the Tiger's counterpart in the trees.

I got the lion but I seem to be missing a bmp map... same goes for the mountain lion. Does somebody know where the cwrw_hwbigcat2b.jpg texture is? I have 1b but not 2b.

 

[Miss B]

I just checked FreyrStrongart, and I have it. Have you tried checking the zip file again?

OK, I just checked my downloads, and there was an update back in July 2017. I don't know when you purchased the Big Cat, but if you purchased before July of last year, it's possible the missing texture file was in the update.

 

[Dakorillon (IMArts)]

I recently went and re-downloaded and re-installed a large portion of my library, to make sure that I had all the updates.

 

[Alisa]

Correct, the Big Cat was updated 8-5-2017 to include that file. And of course, the Big Cat is required for the Lion family, so it will work once you re-download the Big Cat.

ok Thanks. Will do then.

Welcome!

Okay, here we go. Work begins on our Bengal Tiger. Showing screen grabs from day 2 now.

First image is our new Tiger, and the second is used for comparison from our Lion.

Once I feel good about the Tiger base, I'll start adding in the Tiger beard geometry next.

 

[Miss B]

YES!!

[Rae134]

Tigers are my fave wild animal! so need this!

 

[Chris]

More Tiger!

 

[Chris]

And a few more.

 

[Ken1171]

Looking great, Chris! ^_____^

Funny how I didn't notice tigers actually had a mane until now. I thought only lions had a mane, but here it is! Now I wonder if all tigers have manes, or maybe some do?

 

[Miss B]

Well, only male lions have manes, so it may be the same for tigers, though I've seen photos of tigers that don't have manes, so it might be tigers in certain locations.

 

[Chris]

Oh yeah!
