Aww, that's adorable. Looks just like the field mice that keep creeping into my cave. And perfect for Stuart Little renders. Anyone bought it yet? Are the eyes poseable? If not, I'll have another candidate for my AnthroEyes.

Guess that means a Millenium Cat should be coming soon??? hahaha. A mouse. after being inondated with farie wings n couch covers, a mouse. I really need to learn how to model in lightwave, I'm missing out on a whole lot of money to be made.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw that new figure as well, Stuart Little homages. I'm getting it regardless, but does anyone know if it's Mimic compatible? Since DAZ went to the trouble of making it bipedal as well as quadropedal, one would assume they'd code a few facial morphs. If it can at least open its mouth using a dial listed within the head, I can always "Spawn a Morph Target" labeled "OpenLips." Sincerely, Bill

Working on it (see above).
Redfern:
My first thought was Stuart Little, followed closely by the characters from Redwall and Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH.
The mouse isn't really Mimic compatible, and it would be rather difficult to make it so, because it has no modeled mouth geometry. In other words, there's nothing to morph. In its current state, it doesn't even have blink morphs.
Still, it's only $1.99, so I suppose we shouldn't expect much.
Perhaps someone could remodel the head, split the mesh along the mouth line, add inner mouth parts to the geometry, then distribute the results via Objaction Mover or RTEncoder.
