Heya, new here and really just registered in the first place to leave my gratitude for the HiveWire crew. Luckily, I only stumbled onto the newer animal models only about one month or so ago, or else I'd be as much sitting on hot coals as all the people from the 60+ pages and going. The model looks absolutely amazing and made me, even in its work-in-progress state, forget about the disappointment especially DAZ's Big Cat 2 brought. Keep up the good work!

Welcome pRabbit to HiveWire. Thanks for taking time and effort to register and leave such kind words of encouragement. Sure appreciate any of that.

We're so very close now, and closer each day. Paul is cranking away on hook ups and I'm doing a few more needed JCMs to make this cat the best it can be.

Oh baby!

 

[Miss B]

Welcome pRabbit!

So some more finessing on the color map in some tweaky areas. I am calling that part done Aiming to finish up the spec and bump today/tom! Getting close on my end.

 

[Ken Gilliland]

wow! great work!

 

[pRabbit]

Thanks for the warm welcome Also, this looks like a "I've got a cold stein of beer, what do you have?" expression right there. I'd recognize that anywhere. Seriously though, looks awesome!

Brief update on today's Kitty efforts.

I've created what we think are the last JCMs today and Paul has loaded them up and has been adding more control dials that are very impressive.

I've also created a PawPressure morph that really aids in the realism of a foot on the ground with pressure being exerted.Thanks to who ever suggested it, it looks great.

Paul is cranking on this end to have this wrapped up. Gotta tell ya that his controls look great, and the extra JCMs do too.

You guys rock!

Some of us have very strange cats who contort themselves to fit in a sink. In this case, she first demanded I turn on the water, then she flopped down in the sink under the faucet to drink. Meanwhile, the water was puddling up around her and streaming down her tail.

She does love her sink! And the water coming out of the faucet tastes ever so much better than the water out of her fountain. Even though the fountain water is cooler and the water from the sink is currently rather warm.

So cool Paul. Now imagine this on the House Cat too.

Great stuff coming!!

Chris modeling + Paul rigging + Laurie texturing = I am making all sorts of excuses to insert big cats into my renders.

 

[Miss B]

As you should Ken, as you should.

 

[Rae134]

Even if Big Cats weren't my second fave animal (after Horses) I'd still make room in my renders for them with this beastie
