This will not be available any time soon I'm afraid.

My next step is to make the fur conformers for part 3. Those will need to be modeled, mapped and rigged and then morphs to fit the existing morphs.

After the fur is built, with a basic set of textures for transparency, then I can build all the new breeds. This will be mostly ERC compilations and not single morphs - that is to say I'll be making a lot of partial body morphs and adding controller dials per breed. This is similar to how the current German Shorthair breed is a composite, and uses various other morphs to achieve the look in the current MAT/MOR file. I've coded it to a single control dial, and that is how I intend to create all the new dog breeds on my list. This cuts down considerably on memory needed for the figure.

After I have made all my new partial and breed morphs, and the new bump and disp maps, then I can split the MilDog LE and new smooth coated breads out and release parts 1 and 2. I could in theory release it right now, but it would have no new breeds maps or morphs at all.

Part three will contain the new fur conformers, all the new long haired breeds, and new shaders for all breeds and will be a marketplace item.

In addition, I will make the layered psd file for my textures available on my Patreon for a low donation. This donation will go towards buying zbrush and other tools.

About the tongue - I've lost all the tongue morphs. This is a nuisance. I'm debating the merits of rigging the tongue but I need to look at the mesh and see if it allows for it. There will be some solution, since it's needed for expressions and phonemes.

Testers: I would like several testers for the Mildog LE and several who have the MilDog Starter kit and Classic Canines mat/mor packages. You will need the RTE encoder/decoder. Please send me a pm asking to test the mildog. Thanks!
