Well, well. My, my, Sparky!

Where have you been?

Looks as if you've been secretly busy creating something very cool. Me likey. So cool. I'm really digging what you've done here with your Big Cat skelly.

Thanks, guys! I started this skeleton a long time ago. I haven't been working much because of some health issues, but I've been feeling better, so I spent 16 hours yesterday retopologising and uvmapping this guy. Today's been rigging. I've still got some issues with it in Studio before I can export it to Poser, like making it not use the HW Big Cat's JCMs when conformed and porting over the control dials so the HW Big Cat's poses will work with it independent of being fitted to the Big Cat. Then it'll just need texturing.

I'm going to get as much work done as I can while my health holds out. Hopefully I'll have a few products in QA before long. I've got a number of them that are almost finished, they just need some tedious cleanup work done. lol

Hot Damn Sparky, that's one mighty fine skeleton!! :)

Glad to hear you're feeling better, and here's hoping your health improves until you're 100% again.

How cool Sparky! Sorry to hear about your health issues- I had been wondering where you had been lately. Good to see you back here!

So this is the Cougar- very early WIP and NOT the Cougar morph- just using the base Big Cat with some morphing to suggest a more cougar shaped face. (so very much still working on the ears and muzzle/chin and lower neck/chest area and so on). Planning on including a cub version too since the cubs have such a distinctive coat.
