Sparky's items for HiveWire Dog

[Sparky]

Thanks, guys. ^.^

So, I went out to go to the bank and whatnot, and I'm sick again, LOL. I have a great immune system. >.<

In an effort to be productive in my current state, I've decided to try to pull together some of my animal projects that fell by the wayside when HiveWire decided to unexpectedly update the dog. Previously teased projects like the bear, wolf, and beagle. I've sussed an easy method for updating these projects to the new Big Dog Base, so I should be able to wrap them up pretty quickly as they were all basically done at the time I had to abandon them. I'll be doing these three first and then rummage around and see what other nearly finished stuff I've got sitting on my hard drive, find out how much I can produce in the next two weeks. XD

Love the bear! Insta sale here. Beagle and wolf too!

 

[JOdel]

What became of the bulldog?

 

[Rae134]

I want that Beagle pretty please! <3

 

[Sparky]

Working on the wolf Poser materials. Finally figured out how to make normal maps render correctly in Poser LOL.

 

[Sparky]

He's a husky now.

 

[Janet]

I would love to see a Cairn Terrier and an Elkhound. Looks like you have the curly tail of an Elkhound already.

 

[Chris]

Love your Husky morph. Yay, well done.

The doggy lives!!

Hey, since you're promoting your work here, does this mean you're going to sell this Husky through HiveWire?

 

[Chris]

I'm sorry, Chris! I think some lines of communication must have gotten crossed. I didn't get any emails from anyone at HiveWire during the dog hiatus, and I've since tried to get feedback on the elephant project as well as some others, I believe, but didn't get any responses. The last I heard from anyone about the Newborn Puppies in QA was when Alisa told me that it had been put on hold for the dog update. The only reason I knew the dog update had been completed was because I got a Renderosity newsletter with the HiveWire Puppy in it. :-/

My email is still the same if you'd like to discuss anything further. So glad to see you creating again.

 

[Sparky]

Boom, Norwegian Elkhound.

 

[Sparky]

Made the Elkhound his own morph. Texture+Morph+Rig Adjustments...Not bad for two hours, right?

 

[Rae134]

Yay a husky!

You almost have my boy

 

[Sparky]

All the breeds arranged by scale ^.^

 

[Ivory Elephant]

Love it!

 

[Miss B]

 

[Sparky]

I sculpted my dog, Maddie, to avoid setting up the other breeds in Poser. LOL She's a Chug.

 

[Ivory Elephant]

So are the other morphs for Poser only or are they for Daz as well?

 

[Sparky]

They will all be for both DAZ and Poser. I have already done all the setup in Studio, I just have to do it again in Poser. Poser setup is a lot more tedious, LOL.

 

[Ivory Elephant]

By the way Sparky your morph for the husky looks better then the one for Daz Dog 8. In my humble opinion.

 

[Sparky]

Thanks, Ivory Elephant! I think when people are developing an animal that they anticipate covering with a strand-based hair, they tend to neglect to sculpt the forms of the animal's shape, because they figure it's just going to be covered up by the fur. But really, they should take more care to carve out those forms, because otherwise you wind up with a shapeless wad of fluff, LOL. Some of AM's animals suffer from that problem, and so it seems, does the DAZ husky. Speaking of strand-based fur, I should mention that all of the fluffy pups have a separate fur bulk morph, so they can be slimmed down for furring. Conversely, the fur bulk morph can also be used in conjunction with other morphs, too.

Also, I took a break from some of the tedious cleaning, packing, and testing to get a start on a jack russell terrier. ^.^
