Vue d'Esprit 4 with some tweaking in PSP7. The tiger texture is by Gloria Gast, and downloaded from Renderosity. It is meant to fit a tiger model morphed from the Poser lion, a model I could not get hold of. The texture does not fit the Poser panther. It fits the lion pretty well, except the lion's mane and the tuft on his tail make it look nothing like a tiger. So I made a transparency map which blocks out the mane and tuft, and got these tigers in Poser, saved the pz3 files and imported them into Vue 4 as objects. The texture is not a completely accurate fit - the inner ears and nose were not quite in the right place, but a bit of cloning of the final image in PSP7 fixed that. I must say I like being able to import Poser files as object groups into Vue4.

There's a nice feeling to this image.

Thank you Kurka

Hi Carol, I think this was made for the big-faced tiger? If it is, you can get all that from bloodsong at 3dmenagerie.com. If it's not for the big-face, then the only other tiger I know of is the one that Dedicated Digital gave out way back when. If that is the case, then you can't get it anymore :(. It's a shame too...they were pretty nice models. Laurie

Oops...I think I'm wrong. Didn't Morphworld do a tiger?? But you can't get that anymore either :(. Laurie

Dedicated Digital's tiger is still available, but not as a freebie. It's part of their Animal Kingdom CD, a whole bunch of animals, fish, and birds models in several formats (including poseable ones). www.dedicateddigital.com Nice work on this, Carol!

it's lovely Carol... thank ye 8 )

Yes, Laurie, this was for the morphworld tiger. That is only available on cd which has a lot of people stuff on, so as I am not greatly into people or fantasy in my images that would be a bit expensive for me. But Varian, thanks for the info on the Animal Kingdom CD. That sounds much more my sort of thing. I will take a look at that one. Thank you everyone for the kind words.
