Wow they are all pretty for moths...some of them look like butterflies

 

[Miss B]

I thought the same thing when I saw them.

 

[Alisa]

Awesome!!

 

[Lorraine]

Oh Ken, it's beautiful!

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Oh! The Puiri is Pretty!

 

[Miss B]

I'm liking the Puiri Moth too, but also like the Suraka Silk and the Crimson Speckled Flunkey moths as well.

 

[Lyne]

WOW! Love volume 2 !!

 

[Flint_Hawk]

More FANTASTIC moths Ken!

I'm surprised no one picked up on a comment I made last week:

...I will be moving back to birds for my next projects although there's a slight detour planned before I go back to my Birds of Asia sets. In doing these moths, I got an idea for a render and don't have the bird I want to feature with the moths (yet)... so hence next week will start one of my 'wild hair/whim' projects. I've obviously been avoiding mentioning the species because I want it to be a surprise... I will say it's an unique bird that will require it's own model (it can't be remixed) and I'll do all 5 species and maybe the two subspecies of it

Well, the rough modeling of that 'whim' project is done, and I have a small sneak peek of that in the Songbird ReMix 'Honey' thread.

 

[Miss B]

Geeze, I don't know how we all missed that. What a cute little fella.

 

[Alisa]

So cool, too!!

 

[Lorraine]

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Thanks everyone... my first of my two add-on volumes is now available and I have a couple freebies and updates as well. Why Updates so soon? Well, while working on the second volume I found I needed more morphs to create the species in Volume 2. I also found that most "Silk Moths" lack a proboscis (feeding tube... yup, they can't feed, hence they're very short lifespan). This correction was easy enough-- a couple new morphs and hiding the proboscis material.

Giant Moths (Base Set)
Product Update...

• includes a updated Cr2 with some Joint Parameter tweaks and 5 new morphs (This Cr2 has been updated in the Hivewire downloads)
• .pz2, .duf and .mc6 files updated to include the newly added morphs and Luna Moth has the Probocis (feeding tube) hidden. (Hivewire doesn't have this yet)

Moths of the World Volume 1
Product Update...

• .pz2, .duf and .mc6 files updated to include the newly added morphs and correct the proboscis issue on the Spanish Moon Moth and Hercules Moth. (Hivewire doesn't have this yet).

The 2 updates Ken mentioned above that HW didn't have yet we have now and the products have been updated

If you've downloaded the updates via my website in the past 10 days-- yes, you have the current ones... if not, redownload them-- especially "Giant Moths" since it includes the latest Cr2 with a couple new morphs that Volume 2 uses.

 

[Lorraine]

Woohoo!

 

[Lyne]

OK Thanks... pretty sure I did download...

Damselfly egg laying festival in our pond... As I got ready to clean our pond-- I noticed four pairs of damselflies laying eggs in it... I guess, the pond will remain dirty for another month... This article explains what the strange positioning of the male and female means... damselfly | insect

I guess that means I going to have to add damselflies to my Nature's Wonders wishlist

 

[Sunfire]

Wow, and those damsel flies would be rather terrifying in the large giant version.
