Currently I don't have one out yet for the Leopard/Black Panther. Still in progress. And yes while all the Big Cat morphs share the same mesh and UV, LAMH presets for one breed may not work very well on another, largely because of size differences between the breeds of big cats.

Sorry I thought Laurie had presets out already for the Leo since it was the base (I must have been thinking about the House Cat not Big Cat LOL).

I'm thinking the Lioness might be the best one to use (if you hid the tuft on the end of the tail) but I'd have to do a render to test that theory.

Hmmm prob a bit fluffy for my liking up close (I think of panthers being sleek) but could work a bit father away maybe? (lioness preset)

That would look good on the House Cat, or even the Kitten. Or possibly a stuffed cat toy. ;)

Looking good Rae!

I would love to do those for Poser in the hair room. Haven't had much luck though.

Hey folks.

Kinda new here & as usual my timing is just impeccable. I'd cobbled together a Tiger using the Daz BigCat2 only a couple weeks ago. So when the HW version came out, I snapped it up instantly.

Had to do a result comparison of course. Turned out fairly well but certainly not as majestic. Really needs the Ruff.

This was my second go at the HW version fur as I wanted him a bit "fluffier". I went with just a bit over 1 mill on the main body fur & tweeked the root & tip sizes from the default of the LAMH preset.

Also, I'm bring these into Lightwave (which is this was rendered with) from Daz which gives me several advantages. The kicker here is that I've tools that allow me to weight map the fur.

In other words, I can animate these guys with their fur, with motion blur, etc.

I'll try to post an animation test to YT in a few days.

Anxiously awaiting the cub of course.
