RELEASED Hivewire Big Cat Has Begun!

[Miss B]

I'm really liking the Cream fur as well.

OK, I don't usually quote myself, but I have a question Laurie. Either I've missed something, but I have a Material for the White Tiger's Chin Hair, but I don't have a Material for the Cream Tiger's Chin Hair. Is that because you use the same one for both Tigers, or is it just missing in action?

OK, I was using SF Mats, but I just checked the FF Mats, and there isn't one there either.

 

[CWRW]

LOL Alisa asked me that too- I do believe she put it in the ReadMe- same white chin hair for both the Cream and White Tiger. I messed with changing it for the Cream but didn't see any real difference, hence just the one.

 

[Miss B]

Actually Laurie, I thought that might be the case, as the hairs are fairly short, so I can't really see how there would be much of a noticeable difference. I just wanted to make sure.

Just bought the White Tiger. Any chance for a Golden Tiger?

Yes, it is on both the product page and the ReadMe in the "What's included"
" White Tiger Chin Hair (used for both the Cream and White Tigers) "

PLUS in a separate note in the ReadMe below the product information:
"NOTE: The White Chin Hair should be used for both the Cream and White Tigers."

LOL I have had a few requests for that. Will think that one over!

Thanks Alisa!

Because people read? Lol.
I bought the white skins without even looking at the pictures, so when Napalm was asking about the swimming tiger, I could NOT figure out what she was talking about! I finally went to the store and actually looked at the promo images - (which are amazing, by the way!) and found it. So, if it never gets past the thumbnail on the store page before it goes in my cart, how could I possibly -read- something! lol

 

[CWRW]

Too funny Dak! I sure can't fault your enthusiasm!

I love Golden Tabby's (or Strawberry Tigers as they are also known) which is why I added them to my Kitty Ponies so of course I'd be interested in one

For the Geeks: Analysis of golden tiger family trees shows that golden tigers are genetically normal orange coloured tigers with the addition of a recessive modifying gene, probably the wide band gene. This same wide band gene also gives rise to stripeless white tigers. A white tiger that inherits two copies of the recessive wide band gene will be a stripeless white. A normal orange tiger that inherits two copies of the recessive wide band gene will be a golden tabby. The wide band gene is carried independently of the white gene.

Besides the White, Golden and the Snow White Bengal Tigers that has been previously discussed, there is one other colour variation, the very rare Pseudo-melanistic Tiger. Their stripes are thicker than usual and because of the heavy black stripes they are often refered to as "black tigers". Below are images of Subhranshu (the White Pseudo-melanistic Tiger) & Krishna (the normal coloured Pseudo-melanistic Tiger), the only captive pseudo-melanistic tigers in the world, residents of Nandan Kanan zoo safari-zone in Bhubaneswar, Odisha:

Sadly, Subhranshu died in October last year.

Here are a few examples of Pseudo-melanism in other animals:

Cheetah - A King Cheetah is a Pseudo-melanistic form of Cheetah:

A Pseudo-melanistic Leopard:

A Pseudo-melanistic Jaguar:

And even Pseudo-melanistic Zebras:

Was just having a play with the Tiger and ran in to the fact that it is most defiantly male with no way to change that was very obvious with bum towards camera lol

I am often asked why we have large birds, my answer is always, "Why every one knows flying tigers are illegal with in the city limits!" Both I and my wife bare scars from bird bites from training birds...

Dang, I guess none of the testers, me included, caught the fact that his genitals are part of the tiger morph and you can't dial them down.

Just a very small balls up I got round in by unlocking the limits and turning them to the negative

If you were able to down load Lyne's bovine she includes a really nice pair of nuts they can be re-textured and best of all they are re-sizable and you can re-parent them. You may have to look at the tigers mouth as it seems to pickup a slight smile when you add the nuts and they swing back and forth when animated.. This should help you go nutty.....................................................................

That is what I was thinking could be done, glad to know it works.
