well 43 year old me will still watch it so there:) can't believe danny john jules who plays the cat is now 50. TBh I am sure it won't be 'that' good, but its nice to watch in the absence of anything great coming through.

There is a dog/cat hospital out my window. I get to hear dogs yelping and whimpering in pain all day when they "walk" them to the backyard to exercise them. Not to mention the barking. No AC either, so I usually have my window open.
yeah it's matrix when mouse is talking about the woman in the red dress. Damn you KeyserSoze! I bet you just sit at home in your whitie tighties, petting your cat, eating stagg chili and watching this thread,constantly. no wait that's me.
Just curious, since I'm not a Maya user, but the rigging/animation stuff in this release sounds great. Especially HumanIK which looks like the Maya version of Biped. But how do you rig creatures with it? Do they have a CAT-like thing similar to HumanIK?
@greevar - "just somebody's artistic masturbation of design" Thats gonna be my new catch phrase! Or do you own the rights? -- Looks awesome, maybe some vertex color to break up the rep a little? Certainly more interesting than a cat statue!
I always find it best to keep the breast attached to the torso (" one less seam to worry about") but hey there's more than one way to skin a cat. Good luck with it! PS: Try checking out other artist texture sheet layouts for reference.
There are thousands of forums on the internet that I can go to if I want to read inane ramblings or see the latest lol cat pics. I read Polycount for discussions about gaming and art (mostly art). There is a reason that Pimping and Previews comes before General Discussion.
