If by DA you mean deviantArt, I just checked, and that's quite a collection they have. Do you mind my asking which ones you used on our House Kitty?
Cute, Cy!

thanks all
Miss B, The one I found to work the best with just a mouse was FurBrushes. There are only two brushes in the free pack, I used the one called soft fuzzy brush small.

Oh Kewl. I'll have to check them out. I have to say they had quite a nice assortment of brushes there, but a number of them are for CS5 or higher, and I'm still using CS2, so I didn't want to buy any if I wasn't sure they'd work. Since the sample brushes are free, I can see how they work, and then decide if I want to buy the rest of them, as it's a very decent price.thanks all

Couple things that I really like about this House Cat.
Paul has been able to get some great ranges of kinetic movement from the joint areas, particularly the front elbow joint. There's not a lot of geometry in that area, even though I added in what I could, Paul pushed it even further and got a great range from it. Also, his Beta team (HiveWire Beta team) pushed us by encouraging an even wider range on the elbow joint. So Paul and I spent 3 more days effort to get something even better.
Also, Laurie is using the same UVs that I created for the Big Cat. The goal is to get the most from that set and try our collective best to get a good solid result to work with this House Cat, and hopefully the Dog and perhaps even the Dragon (It's being worked on to see what can be done). But Laurie has driven ahead to make sure her maps will work. She's done a great job on the House Cat maps. We know that map stretching occurs when you push the limits of a mesh and the UVs. We can't get away from that, especially as much as this Lil' Kitty likes to play Gumby. But again Laurie has done her best to deal with the existing perimeters. She hasn't complained to me about the shortcomings of the UVs at all, she just cranked ahead and got it done.
Kudos to you both Paul and Laurie.

I'd forgotten this, but after seeing Chris's posts couldn't resist having a play with the black texture for big Kitty. The only thing is it really made me realise how badly we need a new dog model...
