cat [WIP Hex] - Polyloop

philip_ho_ · 7th January 2007, 23:28

Hi this is my first attempt at modelling an animal, in this case its a cat. i dont have a cat of my own so i'm using photographs i got off the net as references, anything that anyone can think of to improve the model will be a big help, for example the porportions of the eyes, ears or if the ears are too forward or something like that.
Any comments are welcomed

thanks for the comment F@B, its been quite hard to model the head as i dont have very good reference images to work from. never really noticed that the eyes were so sharp

i've completed the model of the cat now.

I'm going to try and rig it now and not bother about the textures,

does anyone know of any good sites for animal rig tutorials in Max? I've never rigged an animal before

Any comments about the model?

Hi all, here is the finished cat model. this is my first time rigging and skinning a cat, so i kept the rigging simple, it may not be anatomically correct but its fine for making simple poses with the model. i think im just going to leave the texture for now, as it is not one of my strong points.
