When the new IRTC site was announced, I made the solemn promise of
submitting an image to its first round. Unfortunately due to laziness
and lack of inspiraction, I might have to break that promise.
However, I got one idea which could be implementable. Problem is, the
deadline is in less than a week, so there just isn't too much time to do
anything.
The major problem is that my idea would need a (more or less detailed)
model of a realistic fox, preferably in a certain posture, and I can't
find any such free mesh model on the internet. It might be thinkable to
make a CSG model for this, but there simply isn't time for that. Thus
I would need some existing mesh model. However, I can't find any such
mesh models, nor do I own any software which I could use to model&pose
such a thing.
I was wondering if anybody here would know where I could find such a
mesh model, or maybe someone has such a model, and maybe a program which
could be used to pose it appropriately, and would donate it for my IRTC
entry.
Of course this is a desperate request due to the short amount of time
left, but it doesn't hurt to ask...

If I can manage to download a copy of Daz's Millennium cat I will try convert it
into a fox mesh. What sort of pose do you require?

I am fairly proficient in Wings, but I don't have much animal experience, and I
am still practicing texturing with UV mapping. Also, Wings doesn't do posing
very well directly, and the project I was working on before (manipulating
meshes using a skeleton macro in pov) is very thoroughly stalled, largely
because my C skills are week, particularly when it comes to writing parsing
code...or understanding the parsing code of others.
Do you know exactly what pose? Could you find examples of the pose? I might be
able to give it a whirl.

A state of readiness, looking a bit to the side (at the camera), in a
somewhat menacing posture.

Maybe something like this, but perhaps slightly more menacing:

There was, a while back, a series of media fur macros. I think you were
involved with them, the PCM hair macros? The links I have are broken (I think
because geocities shut down), and I don't know much about how it worked, but I
was wondering whether or not a "bald mesh" of fairly simple geometry would work
in conjunction with those.

I'll see what I can do and what the mesh looks like in PovRay. (The new(er)
method of Poser hair does not translate well when converted by PoseRay)
If I can't get a fox I can do a bear, dog, cat, lion (male) or wolf as I already
have those models.
I'll post a quick wolf image in p.b.i so you can see what it looks like.

Actually for my purposes a smooth model would work just fine. No need for
modelled fur.

Sorry Warp but I can't get the file so I can't make a fox :(

Meanwhile, mine looks like something between a wolf made of cardboard boxes
mixed with a crude representation of Anubis.
I'm having fun, though!
