Having finally gotten my new equine textures to the point where I am happy with them (I'll be uploading them in the near future), I am now working on some of the other animal model textures. Here is my first try at a new lion texture. I welcome comments and suggestions.

this might not fit the subject, but i am wondering all the time and have to ask now: what does "WIP" mean ? i simply don't know it's red all the times here :) :-) -Improving-Knowledge-Ede

WIP - Work In Progress

"Work In Progress"

heya; if you have trouble with the texture smearing across the face and back, let me know, i think i have a re-mapped version around here somewhere. the dark bits are looking too black and ashy, but it's coming along nicely. :)

damn, Work in Progress! I knew that ;-)))) thanks -Ede

Yes, I am having that problem and would greatly appreciate a remapped versionif you have one.

okay... i'll poke around and see where mine is. if you dont hear back from me, you have my permission to pester me about it at sphynx@gis.net. i tried to re-do the wolf, too, but if you do that face from the front, the muzzle gets squished. but i think i have an even better way.... must play!

It took me three days to figure out what WIP meant; coming from a family of librarians and an ex-publisher, my first thought was "Works In Print" which just didn't make sense... :) Looks like a good start on the lion, but I'd suggest smudging the fur to reduce the number of strands, and creating a detailed bump map for the fur. Either that or creating a transparancy map for the whole body, and "layering" the lion, with a nearly transparent one 1-3% larger than the opaque one...
