(found) Improved House Cats - for use as a familiar

Did you look at PetPak 3a by Finniska & Nitocris / Slink? I thought those cats were nicer than House Cats v.1. Just visually. Haven't looked at anims, but I assume they supermodel the panther.

               Yeah I did, but I thought the opposite. I didn't like the cats in PetPak. But then... I may have approached this in the wrong way. Close up the petpak cats look fairly poor in my opinion. But at a normal distance on screen they might be just right. Perhaps, I'm zooming in too much. Because at a distance, the house cats I have are tiny. You can't see the nice texture work they did for them.

Lol, and I didn't zoom in, so I have no idea about the finer points :-P
Mostly I liked the variety. And the manx/lynx. Heh.

               The Siamese cat  Pstmarie posted earlier does have a flaw in it, which is the bone count in the skin mesh. If I remember right it has 18 bones and normally NWN allows only 17. I never saw any adverse effects testing it but that possibility may occur.

I am not sure scaling a skin mesh model is as easy as scaling a model which does not contain one but I am unsure as I have been away for a while and can't quite remember. Maybe Pstemarie can provide more info on this.

Tiberius, I know about that frog but was under the impression that it was a GIANT frog. '>

Could just use the same method to scale it down? '>

Baba's is the best frog out there, I'm just not sure how many animations have been completed on it yet though

They do scale a bit differently. I know I had a fair bit of fun trying to get it to work on an old Oni I was working on from the updated Ogre

                I've been using one of the model scalers that Wyldhunt linked above. I've already got the .NET framework running on my machine so it was very simple.

I scaled up 2x those cats that were too small, and scaled down a couple of Baba Yaga's spiders to 30%. I found no problems in either incidence. Yet another tool that saves me from learning 3DS max. '>

And Cervantes - I'm using your siamese cat without scaling it. Its just the right size.
