For those of you working on virtual Halloween costumes, I've completely rebuilt my Bushy Tail figure from scratch, and it should be up in Free Stuff within the next day or so.

Improvements to this new version include:

Enhanced flexibility -- 16 posable segments (compared to the original's 11 segments), with additional EasyPose ERC code. Or 17 segments, if you count the tail-tip.

(This was an early test render ... I've since corrected some joint issues.)

Material options -- 15 material regions for the transmapped fur permit bicolour patterns, stripes, and gradients. The tail also has textured geometry beneath the fur, if you don't need fur or can't use transmaps.

Styles -- full-tail morphs to alter width, fur length, bushiness, and shape. Geometry-swapping leonine tail-tuft.

Textures -- eight transmapped fur colours to choose from, and five additional underlying tail textures, with MAT poses. I'll provide a .uvs file later that permits users to quickly remap the tail to take Millennium Cat textures.

Wow! Such a generous gift, I'm sure we'll be seeing an abundance of cat people (most commonly the female kind) in galleries this Halloween. Thanks so much!

None of these images are postworked, incidentally. The fur really renders like that. As with all Poser art, a good lighting setup is essential for optimal results; otherwise, from some angles, the fur will appear to have dark patches when viewed edge-on.

Here's what the tail looks like without fur. You can either set the fur material to be completely transparent, or hide it with morphs.

>> *... I'm sure we'll be seeing an abundance of cat people (most commonly the female kind) in galleries this Halloween.*

It's useful for more than just feline characters (or anthros, for that matter). Here's how it looks with the foxtail morph.

Most of these images were rendered in Poser 4, in case anyone's wondering. The tail works well in P5, also.

Wow, I can hardly wait. Finally a good looking tail for my catgirl!!! Thank you!!! Facehugger

And a rat-tail, using the taper and width morphs.

This one was rendered in P5, with displacement to make the ring-sections stand out.

Don't limit yourselves to domestic catgirls ... how about a lioness?

The initial release will have the following fur colours:

Black, blonde, brown, dark grey, orange, red, tawny, white

These can be mixed-and-matched however you please, and for additional variety you can change a material's diffuse colour to further tint the fur. I can't provide MAT files for every possible combination, but I'll include a small sampling to get you started.

One more preview pic, then I'll be finished wasting R'osity's bandwidth for the evening.

(Jaw hits floor) ..................................................... speechless! :] Fish

This is incredible!

ME WANT!!!

This is INCREDIBLE!!! I am allready getting some really really WEIRD ideas of possible uses for this tail GG

No weirder than mine, I hope. It makes a nice Christmas wreath when bent into a perfect circle, with a green texture and bushiness at maximum.

Visions of LEMERS dancing through my head! Anime Fox and Coon Girls! Cute Tiger-Kitty babes! WOW, Is This A Great Country, Or What??? Little Dragon should get the Pulitzer and Nobel Prize for this great addition to PoserKind!

Exceptional...just marvelous! Just one quick question, I know you mentioned one was done in P5...what about the others? Are they P5 also, or can we get that fur effect with plain ol vanilla P4 ?

P4 - see end of post 5.

L.D., You've done it again! I was meaning to look into doing a tail for the longest time but I get distracted so easily anymore. this will be great! Veritas, I think a new annual award should be made to honor L.D.'s terrific efforts in Poser. Perhaps we could call it "The Annual Dragon Awards" or something like that. Great work L.D.! Thanks, - TJ

Oh a wreath :o) Great idea. But my plans are more abot attaching some eyes to it like that mean black furry thing in Rayman 2....

ernyoka, Yes! And if you animated it you could change the settings like L.D. did in post nine to simulate breathing! exellent idea! - TJ

That's some INCREDIBLE fur work there, LD!

Absolutely wonderful....can this be done in Poser 4, Pro Pack or Poser 5....I mean does it matter which one you use? Just asking, thank you again, it is wonderful. Sharen

You guys like Little Dragon's Bushy Tail 2.0? Just wait a few more days (or weeks) and see to what you can attach it! It's not exactly a secret, but then again, LD has not been so brash at to spam the forum with posts about it. He's left that despicable practice to me! ;-) Just kidding. At least I hope three images within a single thread and two gallery pictures do not classify as spamming. There's even stuff LD has hinted that I haven't seen, so I'll be as slack jawed as the rest of you when they arrive. We should all give Little Dragon a healthy round of applause. Not only does he seem to be a living search engine (I have this perverse image of a great wyrrm hardwired like a damned Borg to a rack of servers.), but he creates the kind of stuff few others would conceive. And not once have I known him to request any form of payment. People like LD are becoming a rare in all walks of life. Here's to you, Draconis Minimus! Sincerely, Bill

Tempt the Hand of Fate and it'll give you the "finger"!

The Millenium Tail... Beautiful, wonderful! Oooh, the ideas... Thank you LD! :D

WOW,i don't have to try and butcher the poor poser cat or the toon kitty anymore,they will be pleased ;) thanks LD,this looks fantastic!!!!

Wow incredible!! I am really looking forward to this one, thank you so much for your generosity, you've done a fantastic job!!! Gorgeous tails, yup even the rat one lol

Life Requires Assembly and we all know how THAT goes!

You have outdone yourself on this one! - many thanks for such a creative and useful prop.

I too want a piece of tail!

::GLOMPs LD:: Thankyouthankyouthankyiuthankyouthankyou! I have been using the tail from the Miao V3 package, as it's conforming, and poses really well, but I really miss the fuzzy tail for my avatar. Thank you sooo much ::huggles::

Totally fantastic! Thank you Little Dragon. :-)

And it looks seriously cool!

File's up ... get it while the bandwidth's still there:

I'll have the Millennium Cat remap available next week. If anyone has any suggestions for further improvements, by all means post them here.

Furry tails like this in Poser 4? WOW! Awesome, thank you so much, that's so generous!

These look great Little Dragon thank you very much. 8)

That's what I have done with the previous Bushy tail v1.0 last winter - "House Mouse add-on: Bushy Tail" (http://www.renderosity.com/freestuff.ez?Topsectionid=0&Form.SortOrder=UserName&Start=1&Form.Contrib=Little%5FDragon)- Thanks Little Dragon

You're welcome; that's a striking and lovely image. I love the condensation effect.

Just wanted to stop by and say thank you as well. Not charging for this is beyond amazing, although I'm telling you I would have paid for it just the same. Thank you so much.

Dude. I so wish I had known this was coming when I did this commission. I used the Daz3D millenium cat for the tail, with all the body parts except for the tail itself invisible and then used Photoshop to 'fur brush' it out. You rule! Thank you so much for making this available! (Please note the linked image is really huge. And has bare breasts. Open at yer own risk. :) )

I've been curious. How do you make the fur bush out like that? Are there two figures there one that you can see and one that's totally transmapped? Just wondering, because I love the fur effect.

It's a single posable figure, rabbit_dawn3d, but there are several layers of transmapped mesh covering the tail and sticking out at an angle.

Wow! I just found this for the first time. How have I missed this all these years? I so needed this. THANK YOU!!!! :)

My brain is just a toy box filled with weird things

got it, love it.!!! I now have about 50 cat, fox, and tiger people running around in my renders folder

Oh, I so want the rat tail!

aka John

one thank you for the tail second have you thought about a tail that would fit for a cheetah or jaguar catgirl?

ratscloset, it's in free stuff. This thread is over 2 years old :)

Thank you for this great tail!

I'm having some trouble working with it though :(

How do you get the tail to curve like an S like that? I'm having a hard time trying to get the tail into any kind of bend.

What is this "Easy Pose" thing that you mention?

Plus when I parent it it doesn't stay with the figure when I pose the figure. I've positioned the tail where I want it (back by the hip area). Then I parented the tail to the figure's hip, but when I pose the figure, the tail doesn't follow the figure and stays where it was.

I started a thread about it and was linked here. You can see my screenshot in the above thread.

Locking the tail figure didn't work :( The tail still gets left behind. You can see that the tail tries to follow the direction of the pose, but it doesn't drop down with the figure.
