    i still use the old mill cat and dog - with the fur presets that are on AM's site, they looks SO much better. But yeah, I would definitely buy a new domestic cat and dog from him, especially with LAMH fur on them and different breeds. My computer does kinda choke when I use the LAMH in iray, but with simple scenes, I can get it done. :D

    Agreed. The fur presets really make a huge difference. I mean, just look at the base of Wolf 2.0, compared to the one with the fur. You wouldn't believe it was the same animal.

    Here's a comparision render of the Jaguar and Leopard using the aforementioned LAMH hair and trhe same image without the fur, rendered in 3DL because I was too lazy to convert over to Iray. wink The background is Stonemason's Cloud Temple.

    Difference it's like day and night if you ask me, even if it's an animal with a very short fur.

    Thiese are promo images from Stonemason's Fern Lake bundle. Which big cat did he use? This was pre-HW big cat but looks much better than the Daz one...  How did he get the fur to look so great?!? The second one looks amazing, almost like a photo. 

    That's how the DAZ Big Cat 2 looks when Alessandro_AM's LAMH works its magic on it. http://www.daz3d.com/real-fur-for-big-cats-2

    I went to go have a look at these thinking wow I need to pick those up!  and realized I already had lolol.  Now I just have to remember to use them.  Honestly I have no problem owning both of them, just like people, no two animals are the same and having some that are different in a render with more than one animal is a bonus to me.

  • hey guys not sure but maybe there's a daz horse 3 around the corner cause in toadys sale learn to strike a pose in the 60% off featured animation and poses section the daz horse 2 pro bundle is only $26.24 it has never been that low before lowest think was around $36 in a stack deal

    ...three horses, three dragons, two big cats, but still only one tired old kitty cat.   Should The League of Eccentric Cat Ladies hear of this...fur will fly for sure. wink

  • well we do know new dog and cat is coming from AM with lots of breeds too :) we do have a husky using wolf 2 base, still no rabbits yet want a fluffy cuddly bunny too and lots of poses for all these animals including expressions and lots of playful poses and weird cat ones

    I want more poses for the African Elephant - at least to match the Asian Elephant, if not more. Especially moving the ears, eyes, head and mouth. Plus trunk.

    I believe you're looking for the League of eccentric cat ladies men's auxiliary. They even have a theme song

    Oh the men's auxiliary

    It's a good auxiliary

    'bout the best auxiliary

    That you ever did see

    So if you need an auxiliary

    Try the men's auxiliary

    That's the men's auxiliary

    ...wrong kind of "kitty". Somehow I don't think my character Leela would appreciate having a panther or leopard looking to curl up on her lap while she was in the study reading.

    They do have a domestic house cat under development. No estimated time of arrival, though.

    The new house cat they are preparing at HW looks amazing and it's next in line for release after the cub. They've posted images in the forums there.

    Yeh I see that from the cracked glass; a dead giveaway, and if he doesn't move quickly, he may just end up dead!

  • The cubs have arrived and they're the cutest. Perhaps with another texture they'd make kittens? Anyone knows anything about retexturing it? I'd give it a shot but I'm worthless at that stuff :(

    Thank you RAMWolff!!! She's so cute that there's no wrong angle to render her in.

    I transferred in PS an old Milcat2 texture to the cub but it doesn't look like a cat at all. I hope we get a new kitty just as cute but this one wont do.

    More images posted today at the Hive for the kitty.  Looking really sweet.  I figure if I gotta be allergic to them in real life I can at least have a digital one!  lol

  • I think the housecat will be released at Hivewire first. I'm standing by with my credit card. DAZ has had far too long to make a cat and dog.It has been... Years.... I'm willing to reward the other stores initiative for getting it on market faster.

    You can keep thinking that way, but you're probably looking the wrong direction and will miss the better work when it is released.

    In the 3D world the ratio of cats to catsuits is probably about 1 to 100. Seems strange with all the funny cat pics and videos on the internet.... you would think that would translate to 3D renders and animations.
