Sparky's items for HiveWire Dog
- Thread starter Sparky
- Start date
The bear looks great. Ghod knows there are animals and to spare that people can use models of.
But yeah. So many of those anthopomorphic characters for gen4 were just great. I had good results porting a couple of them to Genesis and managed to get Rana to G2M. but with GenX no longer supported, I'm shying away from undertaking that again. And that would still tangle up with the UV changes between G2 and G3.

I'm glad the foxes are working for you, @Noshoba! I'll look forward to your renders. 
Wolves are definitely on the shortlist for the G8 characters. ^.^
I have a couple of Big Cat projects on my hard drive, I should take a look at them and see what I've got in progress.
I have thought about doing something for La Femme and L'Homme, but I don't have the L'Homme figure, and I don't think I can afford to buy him just now. What sort of thing would you like to see for him?

I've already bought the pro version (so I could test for people) but doesn't L'Homme come with the new poser downloads? (I could be wrong but LF does so I assumed he was too).
I know the tiger (and I think a snow leopard) is in the works for the Big Cat, but I'd LOVE some house cats too. I know it probably wouldn't be that hard to make some with the morphs available but some of us are dial challenged and need help LOL

I hope the elephant is on the list. Maybe with a updated texture pack.
Yes, at first he was "part" of La Femme, but then they updated her Pro version to include a separate character for L'Homme. It's not the Pro version, as it's just the basic character, but I've done some beta testing with him, and he works.
YES, I sooooo want a Snow Leopard for the Big Cat.I know the tiger (and I think a snow leopard) is in the works for the Big Cat, but I'd LOVE some house cats too. I know it probably wouldn't be that hard to make some with the morphs available but some of us are dial challenged and need help LOL

nice bear. sculpted to work w/ hair room works. Please, a render of some idea of how it looks w/o hair room LAMH hair works?
is the fur tex final version? as shown or a WIP?

Thanks, Carmen! The bear is sculpted with both options in mind. Like the wolf and fox, it includes a base shape and a separate fur volume morph. The WIPs that were posted previously show it without any dynamic hair, (I haven't actually shown anything with dynamic hair, LOL) just the fur volume morph and textures. I might take a stab at doing some dynamic fur presets for these at some point, but I'm not familiar with those tools, so there will be a learning curve, and that will take some time. The textures are still subject to some further refinement, but they will look similar in the final version.

So Sparky what are the next 4 breeds you are doing?
That is a very pretty render, @Noshoba!
I'm thinking Molosser, Pit Bull, maybe a Collie sort of dog, and maybe a Bull Terrier. Nothing's set in stone yet except the Molosser, which is already well underway. If you have a breed you would like to see, let me know. ^.^

We need a hair expert for a lot of the ones people probably would like. Most of the ones you've done do nicely with the hair sets we've already got. But eventually people are going to be nagging for a poodle, or sheepdog, or some other distinctively long-haired breed like some of the little fluffy terriers and what all. The collie is rather skirting the edge of that, if people are fixated on the ones used for things like 'Lassie'.
I had 2 childhood dogs growing up (show dogs), a Beagle and a Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) so of course I'd second that one Dana only I think that one would def need hair to do it real justice.
I did get a very passable Border Collie by spinning some dials and using the Medium hair preset available since they come in different hair lengths.
I think a Roman Nosed Bull Terrier would be cool because they are very distinct and unique (and if it had a brindle coat texture that would be a huge bonus as that could be used on the Greyhound and Molosser too). I think other distinct dogs would probably need hair to pull them off (think Chinese Crested). I'll try and think of something that Chris hasn't done morphs for or that the Daz dog has already as I think it would help you out more Sparky if they were breeds no-one else has (there used to be a Boston Terrier but I can't find it now so it might not be available anymore, they're cute and a bit more unusual that some breeds).
