ohhh good, are you going to do some LAYING DOWN with PAWS CURLED UNDER poses? I keep wanting those and will 'have' to do them to share if you don't... cat's are so cute the way they do that!

That's a tough pose to do with any cat model. I'm having trouble making it work without breaking the mesh. But I will keep trying. I probably will put it out as a freebie if I get a version I like because I don't want toehold up the rest of the pose package for it.

 

[Daio]

On the other hand, I've got Momma cat and kitten poses I like.

 

[Daio]

Best I've managed so far on the Loaf Cat pose. Also my first Superfly render.

 

[Lyne]

@Daio hmm was afraid of that... I may try it too... the back legs are VERY good! Those are hard to 'tuck in' too.

Family poses are wonderful!

PS... tried it myself.. and without a LOT of scaling of front leg parts and post work... oh well. still love this cat/kitten SO MUCH!

Here is a comparative test render of our kitty. I thought I should modify a little the proportions so that it looks like a younger kitten. On the left is the tweaked one, on the right the standard one. I hope you like it.

 

[VortigensBane]

Me likey!

 

[Daio]

Yeah, baby kitten! I love the HiveWire kitten but I admit I was hoping it would be proportioned more like a 6-8 week old kitten, rather than a 3-4 month old.

That's exactly why I tweaked it , Daio. I also wanted something closer to my idea of a cute kitten. I am glad you like it guys. Vb, imagine that with your fur on it. Has the potential to look really great.

Nice work Dan30...

 

[Dan30]

Thank you Pendraia.

 

[Miss B]

Very nice work. Our kitty is just getting cuter and cuter.

 

[Dan30]

Thank you Miss B. Indeed, there is no cuter kitty (and kitten) around.

 

[JOdel]

The really young ones have their ears folded. How long is it before they unfold? I seem to recall that it's only a week or so before their eyes open.

 

[Daio]

Eyes start opening around a week to 10 days. Ears are fully erect by 3 weeks.

shows how far under the back feet tuck....
but yes, pretty extreme for the model's limits...
MY effort took scaling, etc.

 

[Miss B]

That looks pretty darn good Lyne. Nice going.

 

[Lyne]

I also attempted a younger kitten...

the head is still large enough, shortened neck parts, torso parts, tail parts.... so it's subtle, but does go younger, I think. this will NOT be a freebie, as I did all sorts of weird things that can't be shared. also, don't forget the 'full belly'... great for a kitten look! "thank you, Chris!"

 

[Rae134]

cool pose Lyne. My kitty completely hides her legs so she's a floof ball with head

young kitty cute too

 

[Miss B]

Nicely done on the kitten Lyne. Looks adorable.

This look great Lyne but maybe the eyes should be a bit larger? See my avatar - it's BartholoMEW at about 7 weeks
