Phil Leavens' Tasmanian Tiger

[robcat2075]

I retrieved this c. 2004 work via the Wayback machine and felt it ought to be seen again. That's genuine A:M hair, expertly done.

 

Great work Phil, where ever you are!

Wow, that would be 'the old' hair feature. Have no idea how he did that, I don't remember seeing this model- Years ahead for A:M2004!

It must be our current hair system because he mentioned using the various maps that can be used with it like density and direction.

I believe the old hair was able to use maps as well.

I just tried a "Shag" emitter and indeed it does seem to respond to maps in some fashion.

 

However, my 2004 disc has Orangutan on it and I know that was a new Hair creation, so there's still room for it to be new hair.

BTW, the Tasmanian Tiger was a real animal, now extinct. You can

Yeh, they go all the way back to some of the earliest mammals.

Sad story, they belong to a group called Thylacine's and managed to survive all the world could throw at them for millions of years, until we came along, with guns.

Tricky to evolve a satisfactory defense to bluets in just a few years

There have been some reported sightings of them in the last decade, but no photographic evidence.
