There is a rich variety of species available, of which initially only the lion was planned to be implemented. After the success with the Shark avatars, the Shork Group decided to commission more of the big felines over time. \\ Currently planned are the following variants: * Snowleopard ( more fluffy, especially the tail, small ears) * Serval ( like, big ears ) * Panther / Leopard / Cougar ( i think differ only in texture ) * Tiger (that fluffy cheeks) * Lion ( tailfluff) * Lynx ( different cheekfluff, short tail and eartufts ) ===== Package forms ===== ^Keyword ^ Contents ^ |Boxed | Contains male and female avatar plus additional material. Usually a box or chest in shape, which needs unpacking. | |Female | Contains a female avatar, directly wearable. | |Male | Contains a male avatar, directly wearable. | |Components | Contains additional components for a given avatar. | ===== Versioning Information ===== ^ Version ^ Contents ^ | V0.x | Prerelease versions. Handed out to artists and and a few others to help design the initial skin and shape file sets. Contains all mesh files. | | V1.0 | Initial release. Hopefully will be the only needed release for the big cat avatars | ===== Upgrade Packages ===== Currently we hope to get everything right with the v1.0 releases. ===== Mesh Import Information ===== The Lion mesh components were optimized by Caninye ( SL & OSGrid). She scaled them to-size. From the Dragon avatar and Yenye Neema's (SL) packaging of it, Kaahupahau (me) took the liberty to package the lion in a similar fashion.\\ As such, the Lion Avatar is already correctly scaled.\\ However: Yenye Neema recommends import settings that make the avatar look a lot better when it's nearby ====== Big Cat Avatar Components ====== ===== Lions ===== {{:avatars:os_lion.png?nolink&400 |}}{{ :avatars:os_lioness.png?nolink&400|}}\\ {{ :avatars:v2_shork-industries-lion-avatar.mp4 |}}\\ The following people helped create the Lion avatars:\\ **Creating Artist:**\\ Ironwood115 @ Discord\\ [[https://x.com/ironwood115?t=DlIoq_XKfac7kwAdFbJNkQ&s=09|Ironwood115 @ Twitter]] **Commissioning Party:**\\ The "Shork Icecream Cafe" Group:\\ Kaahupahau Sharpfang @ osgrid ; kaahupahau Resident @ SL \\ Yavannah Halostar @ OpenSim \\ **Additional Features & Functions:**\\ UV Maps: Caninye @ Second Life & OpenSim\\ Mesh refinement: Caninye @ Second Life & OpenSim\\ For further entries, check the Components segment further down, where the creators are listed with their creations.
