Show Us Your HiveWire Big Cat Renders Here!

Love it Lyne! And I love that you did get the whiskers to blow in the wind along with her hair.

Jut an interesting observation (that probably has more to do with the porsche model than your render). You did such a good job of showing the movement, that it's too bad there is that red thing in the tires of the car. You've got such great motion blur on the rest of the wheels, that it's too bad that's on the model.

Hey GG, they are red brake calipers and they don't move so depending on how open the spokes of the wheel and speed of the camera shutter would depend on how much you'd see.

Well, that just shows you how much I know about cars. But hey, now I know something new.

Haha hubby makes me watch too much motor sports alot of the time the brakes aren't so bright so you you probably wouldn't notice them

I got a laugh out of this whole conversation... as I DID have them in the first version of my "radial blur" (via photoshop) but then on looking at google photos of cars going FAST... realized the BRAKE SHOES do not spin...kinda would be hard to stop that car I think... so I did an insane amount of selections to get those 'red things' to be stationary... my brother was helping and he knows ALL about cars.... but I do have to say, no more art with moving cars! LOL!! Too much work!

All right, might as well try to make this a hat trick. Here is Smay's CatSaddle for the MilCat on the Hivewire Big Cat.
As I suspected, both the saddle and the boot came in almost perfectly scaled for Kitty.
Almost.

The saddle, since it has separate parts, can easily be tweaked into what looks to me like an all but perfect fit. The x-axis had to go up to 107%. And the abdomen (which is the cinch) needed its y-axis reduced to 86%. I also increased the saddle (only) portion to 115% in the z-axis, since most human figures are not sized like Gosha and Mavka. Like with the House Cat, I parented the saddle to abdomen3 and then adjusted its position with the main transform dials.

The boot is problematic. I did tweak it into a sort of acceptable fit, but then decided that for demonstration purposes I'd leave it exactly as it comes in, so the issues with it are clear. The fact is, that the fit of the boot platform and the upper straps is *perfect* exactly as it loads -- except for the section of strap below the rings where all the straps get connected. Fixing that would undoubtedly be best done in an actual modeling program, and probably wouldn't take a lot of doing. Unfortunately, there is no actual rigging to the boot itself. It's all one piece with no separate moving parts. So there's effectively nothing to get hold of for adjustment. Again, I parented it to the hip and adjusted position with the transform tools.

Very cool...I will need to pick this up. I'm seeing Luna or Diva riding the big cat in fairy mode...

 

[JOdel]

Well it was, after all, designed for Gosha and Mavka, --who are gnomes.
But yeah. the saddle in particular is usable just as is with really minor scaling. And it comes with all those other props as well. The courier saddlebags, and all the luggage in the boot. And the boot can probably be worked with. One could turn off the lower strap by going at it with the Geometry editor, and replace it with something that might fit better. Or just do it in post.

The jungle kids also might take well to cat riding.

 

[Pendraia]

Oooh yeah...that they would!

I think that's just fab, JOdel!

[Pendraia]

Just beautiful...I keep forgetting to post in the thread after visiting the media page. Does anyone else do that is it just me getting forgetful...

So impressive Laurie. Very touching image. Well executed, well crafted, well done.

I've just added this to the HiveWire Facebook page and my own as well.

This tough little guy decided to try on his father's collar. But then he didn't know how to get it off! The Morphing Collar for the HW Big Cat by PhotoGG (George Gregory) inspired me to do this picture! This collar comes with a truly amazing assortment of styles! There seems to be something appropriate for every render idea!

Love it Flint! I can just hear him screaming for "help".

That is so awesome Flint Hawk.

Love it.

I'm going to post it on fb page now.
