whoa nice!!!

love the Cat "toy"... Hee hee hee... Texture looks good too :) Off to finish the Chakra texture (Siamese for Mia, thanks to Little Dragon for her name)...

Yeah, the mouse is a nice touch...hehe.

The black texture is gorgeous. If I were a catwoman that's just how I'd look to match my own dear little cat, called Muffin. 8) Catlin

Oops credits did this for a friend who goes by Greycat. Here is Sandy and Greycat together. Little dragon Mia and Vicky crown tiff hair and bushy tail red tabby texture. studio Maya top Cooler leg warmers Koz long hair

These aren't the long-promised digitigrade legs, although they're a step in that direction; it's a quick-and-dirty experiment in replacement geometry. The toes are separate .obj files in my geometry folder, used in place of Victoria's/Mia's regular toes. I could put them in the CR2 as swappable geometry instead, but their UV-mapping doesn't quite line up with the original (for obvious reasons).

They look great LD, the most perfect cat/human crossover I've seen. 8) Catlin

Ooooooooooooh paws!! Of COURSE we're still listening :o) (when not watching TV, gloating over the capture of Saddam G)

Oooh, it's getting there :D Fantastic!

They look mighty Sharp if you ask me ;p

:-) I'd say you're getting there a foot at a time or you have a toehold on the project but that may be just a lame attempt at humor. :-)

RTE Encoder... Is there one for the Mac? I can't use the MC because Miao8.obj is missing still!

GreyRandall, if I read correctly, RTEncoder currently exists for Windows only. Sorry. Little Dragon had to use that tool instead of OBJaction Mover so as to remain within legal bounds of DAZ's EULA. Sincerely, Bill

LD!!! Never mind!!! You can ignore the previous post as well my email message to you!!! I solved the problem!!!!!!! Had to do it in two different attempts Thankfully when I purchased the Millenium Cat and Victoria, I downloaded BOTH PC and Mac versions. First I had to download the rteencoder and put it on my wife's PC, I was able to decode stage 1 that way. When I tried to decode stage 2, it kept telling me the CRC was wrong. I then remembered that my daughter saw me working with Poser 5, so she asked if I'd put Poser on her PC.. I still have my Mac/PC hybrid install CD of Poser 3, so I put that on hers. I took a gamble and installed Vicki on her machine (it worked, despite being Poser 3!) and was able to use the correct blMilWom.obj file to decode stage 2! I Then ran it through Maconverter and put it in with my Poser 5 installation. I'm now able to use Mia on my mac! Woohoo! Now... if I can just find hair style that's even remotely close to the "reverse mullet" (Linna's hair from BGC Tokyo 2040) I'm lousy at making hair, so I'm not going to try it unless absolutely necessary!

Can you post a pic of that "reverse mullet" hair? I'm sure there'll be lots of people then who knows where to find something like it :o) I wish I could make it, but (good) hair is HARD to make :o/

If you're going for Anime style, check out Anime Doll by MayaX here in the Market Place. It comes with a hairstyle that to my eye resembles this one pretty well. But it is intended for cell shade type renders and is not a transmapped hair.

hmm were the paws ever made available?

Little Dragon (post #51): What nudity tag for what nudity? She's wearing a Fur Coat, else she'd be 'skinned'!

OHhh ghods this is wonderful!!!!! it's...PURRfect!

Good news, Charlie_Tuna ... rcook is working on version 2 of RTEncoder, and it'll be cross-platform (PC, Mac, etc.). No release date, as yet.

beanfair:

No, the toes haven't been officially released yet. I'd like to see if I can modify their UV-mapping so they'll work with existing textures. I'll likely include them in the next major update for Mia.

I've uploaded a new version of Mia to Free Stuff. She should be available shortly.

This is an incremental update ... minor alterations to the figure geometry (mainly the new four-toed feet), changes to the internal names of certain morphs, and the addition of some claw morphs for the toes. Nothing big.

You'll probably want to download the textures again, as they've been modified for use with the new toes and claws. I'll have a couple more texture sets ready this weekend.

For Mac users, RTEJava can be used in place of RTEncoder.

WEE! Cool! Thanks L_D!

Lovin this kitten!!!

Goody, :-) will a silver tabby texture be coming?

And here's a sneak preview of a third texture in development. hauksdottir showed such enthusiasm for my kitsune pic over at DAZ that I've decided to create a custom vixen body and head texture.

BTW, how's the digitigrade legs coming along?

This is stage one. Stage two, next weekend, will have fully digitigrade legs, and retractable claws on the fingertips. I'll try to retain the current UV-mapping so you won't have to redownload the textures again.

:-) Goody, I'll finally be able to do Merr'leen

Quote Charlie_Tuna, ":-) Goody, I'll finally be able to do Merr'leen" Just be sure to wear protection. ;-) You don't want her smitten with kittens! Oh, that was just too easy! Sorry, Charlie, I couldn't resist! Seriously, I've been anticipating the digitigrade posture as well. It's taken all my reserve not to irritate LD to total distraction. Sincerely, Bill

:-P Did you try very hard to resist?

Er, for about, maybe, 15 seconds. Hey, if it will make you feel better, you can "rag" on me about my strip's leading character, Lt. Mzzkiti. Sincerely, Bill

Cool, cool, cool. I'll be updating Chakra sometime over the weekend, so all interested parties keep your eyes peeled in Freestuff.

gee, I'm gonna need a lot of eye drops for this one...peeling my eyes always makes them so irritated 8P

Igohigh: hur hur hur... That is an odd phrase, tho, isn't it? :D

• makes rude noise *

You call that stringy thing a tail? :)

Looks better than Pitof's vision of the character, at least.

CAT FIGHT! CAT FIGHT! I got front row seating!! 8p

Yeah, it did sorta come out as a Rat tail - maybe I should call her "Mouse Girl". ;-)

Did Chakra ever get updated?

Not yet. In fact, I haven't even had a chance to unpack the feet (how many times in your life do you get to say THAT?). Hopefully soon, and seeing someone who wants an update inspires me. :)

LD, how's the legs coming?

::yarns::

StolenHeart20 said, "::yarns::" Uh, "yarns"? Are you saying "Mia" needs a ball of yarn with which to play, or did you you mean "yawn" with a "W", implying you have grown tired of waiting for the digitigrade legs? Sincerely, Bill

I think it means that Mia yarns fer a ball of yarn to play with whilst she waits fer her new legs....

um, I think the real word here is ::troll::

Ooooh COOL! A Mia Troll Cat too!?! Like when Tweedie Bird and Sylvester got into the Mad Scientist's Lab!!!! I Big, Green, Hunchbacked Mia with ratty hair!!!! YIPEEEEE!

I think thats mostly a tag so he can find the thread later .. try a simple " ..." and you'll get ebots from now til eternity and I really do need to get thoses textures done ...wanders off again
