nice one! tails a little thick and when it comes to its feet it needs to be up on its haunches a bit more. constantly ready to move kinda thing. maybe it'll come out at the posing/animating stage. but cool stuff, the detail is incredible user added image. sub-d's or is it all at the base level?

geez, thats a lot of work to be putting in on polys user added image. Kurts tutorials are fairly useful, although he doesn't really play around with the different detail levels.

Basically u can swap between fine and coarse levels (convert to sub-d's then rite click-> coarser/finer) letting u add in lines and detail only where its needed. Worth having a play even without any tut's. mite help u a little with this one user added image
