Does anyone know where I can find a good rat model? Preferably posable with a relatively high polygon count? I can't spend more than 30 bucks or so on it, so looking at TurboSquid is pretty much Right Out. I have a freebie rat, but it looks more like a mouse and isn't entirely posable.

DAZ has a Poser rat in your price range. I'm not sure of the poly-count, however.

Hmm, the 3Dup rat isn't bad at all. Too bad it isn't posable. I may have to make do for a while. The poly count on the Daz model is particularly low. Grr, why can't they release some Millenium animals?

Hmm ... now I just might be able to make that work. I tried looking at Lyne's, but the rodents are all the prarie dog/chipmunk/squirrel sorts and didn't look morphable enough for a good rat.

The 9Lives morph is very decent, but the rat is still too thin, especially in the butt. Rats are often sleek and svelt, too, but not to the point of skinny. (Maybe because if the rats are starving, it is long past time we humans left the place?) The head morphs are good. If you can add some mass to the body, you'll have something far better than the old DAZ rat. (That is the only purchase from them that I regret making.) Bloodsong was planning to do a package of critters for her hawks and falcons to stoop down upon. (BTW, "stoop to kill" is the technical term for their plummeting flight as they gain enough momentum to break the neck or back of their targetted critter.) Some realistic rats and squirrels and rabbits could be so useful in lots of different ways. Carolly

Yeah, I'd definitely say that my girl is chunkier in the bottom than any of the models I've seen. Bet that's about the only time it's safe to say that a woman has a big ass. I was wanting to do some pieces around my rat, but finding a decent model that works right is tough. I may end up having to do some photo compositing (and bribing of said rat to get her in the positions I need) to get it right.
