Here she is at last! (See previous 'flyer' :-)) Over at DAZ my new pigeon/Dove model. Jam packed with Easy Pose gubbins (all hail to you, mighty Ajax for your wonderful utility!) to give realistic flying and perching poses. 7 photoreal texture sets for various species/feral birds. The bird has two versions : flying and folded (although the flying bird has a pretty passable wing fold dial)

Here are the 7 texture sets_ Wood pigeon/Collared Dove/White Dove and 4 feral pigeons.

And finally a cut down version of a rather amateur animation just to show what can be achieved even by a novice! (its 100kb so sorry if it slows this post down) (hope rendo will take animated gif)

YIPPEE!! Just bought it and I am thrilled! Thanks for all of your hard work! :) Lisa

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :O] Laurie

Been longing for doves forever!! Yea to you! It's in my cart. The grey brown type-- don't know species--is just like the one in my back yard. Emily

This is a beauty...I am a little tapped out but it is on my list to get....thank you for your work...really beautiful. Sharen

OMG! VERY beautiful pigeon/dove! Love your animation too. :-)

Thanks everyone! Wait 'til you see the swan I'm working on at the moment! It's going to need some special jiggery-pokery for the webbed feetbut with the help of Bloodsongs experimental model based on Anton's tecniques, I do believe it can work! I'm eager to get experimenting on the neck but still a fair bit of modelling to go yet! Here's a couple of Rhino renders: you were the first to se it! Don't worry about the horizontal neck_ it hasn't swallowed a broom_ just makes mapping the neck and setting up the bones/EasyPose easier

Here's a close up of the head_ this is a mute swan but I hope to do morphs and textures for most of the others including the lovely Australian black swan.

Very nice swan!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo take your time ... but hurry! :) nice work!

Stunning :o) I would buy this instantly if it had a domestic white goose morph...... Excellent work :o) Elaine

GULP!! I now know that I'm going to go broke with you Nigel...hehehehe...;o). I ADORE swans (and animals of every kind). I have a distinct feeling that if there is an animal, you are the one to do it. Thank goodness you wouldn't run out of ideas anytime soon in that department...LOL. I have a few of your animals and I love every single one :o) Laurie

OOOOO I've been wanting a swan! Looks lovely so far! :)

Elaine, I'm a comparative novice with morphs_ I find Rhino a bit wanting in this department_ however with Travellers excellent tutorials I've just begun to get in to using magnets to produce them _ so I'll have a look if the modelling/mapping phase goes smoothly and see whether a goose morph is on the cards! ( would have to make it a bonnet/basket and apron tho!) Nigel

Don't forget the golden egg! ;)

Wowee!!! Nice work, and a swan in the works too? AWESOME! The mourning dove looks spectacular Nigel! I have a few that hang around my office window, and just love to hear them.

Nigel, Thank you very much for considering making the goose morph :o) I have been wanting one for so long :o) It would make such wonderful children draws :o) Elaine
