I think we can get some good versatility from the rig that Paul has created for it, and the JCMs for it really help a lot. So, I think we can get close.

Chris, is work on the dog and wolf going ahead now that the cat has been let loose on runtimes . I am a dog person really, but bought the cat of course for those renders that need a cat, but am anxiously waiting on my dog now.

I would love to jump on the dog model right now, or the wolf. Either one has a great potential draw. But being just one person and that several on our team are juggling many projects, the dog will probably have to wait just a bit more.

Here's where we're at right now. I'm modeling the mane for the Lion to get in front of that. I've had Sora for Dawn done for some time now, but have recently added in a few last morphs that have been requested. Paul is driving hard now to get Sora working well with JCMs on the Sora outfit that I modeled. Sora is very close to being complete, as Virtual World has had her maps done now for months. Once Paul is done, we'll ask Virtual World to put together some final product images for her. Then we'll have Paul focus efforts on getting the Kitten done for the HiveWire House Cat. I've already modeled the Kitten, we just need to have Paul work his magic for the Kitten similarly to what he did for the Big Cat Cub. Laurie has a bunch of projects she's trying to work in, like the Pegasus wings with Ken G., and her Thoroughbred maps for Harry, and her Zebra maps for the Zebra I modeled, also her Appaloosa maps for Harry, and on and on for her. Seriously she probably has at least 6 more projects to map that I haven't mentioned here yet.

After the Kitten is released, Laurie will try her best to work in her Cougar maps that she has underway. As far as the Cats go, she'll then move to the Lion and Lioness. By the time she's ready for that mapping project, I should already have the Mane and the morphs for that sitting on a shelf and waiting for her.

I'm also looking forward to Paul being able to work in putting together the adjusted rig, and packaging up of the female adult Gorilla for Dawn, and the baby Gorilla for Baby Luna that I've got sitting waiting. Also waiting for more efforts are the Asian Elephant, Baby Elephant, and Toon Elephant, Big Horn Sheep, Spanish Bull, Milk Cow, Thistle the stylized fawn from Harry, the Mule Deer family, Deer Headdress for Dawn, our Dragon, Wolf, and of course the HiveWire Dog (Labrador) and other modeled breeds.

This is by no means to suggest that the Dog is last on the list. Not at all. The Dog should have a good audience, much more so then most, if not all of the other products mentioned above. Another factor on the Dog waiting in the wings, is that we don't have anyone lined up to create the Labrador maps. That's a big part of it. To have it done right, the map work must be stellar.

I am looking forward to getting back on the Wolf as soon as I have the mane done for the Lion. I also look forward to getting back on the Skeleton project I'm doing for Dusk (and Dawn). Also, after Sora is released, she'll need an Anime style companion from Dusk to match her.

We need them all out now, I know, but the reality for us is much different.

Jan, I hope that long explanation is helpful for you, and other patiently waiting folks.

Thanks Chris for your reply - gives us all more insight as to what is going on. Whatever gets finished and packaged up and into the Store first will be well received for we know now how good the products are now, there is a line-up to buy them.

Just we are an impatient lot and past history has proved that no matter what Store:whistling:

:yeahthat: to what the girls above are saying. :shineon:

Hm....Impatience and Hurry Up and Wait to buy is "disease" of sorts endemic in the Poser community. Been in the community for a long time watching and reading and waiting....PATIENTLY.......somewhat in the shadows hoping that whatever is promised "soon" turns out as nice as the ideal I have built up reading and watching the WIP. SO far here the promises of great products has been worth.
I'll just say to the Waaaaaay Over worked crew here working on these products....take your time and do them right.
And thanks so much for your BEST efforts!
