Note: The WereHouse Wilds requires that you are using the latest version of the Second Life Viewer, or compatable viewers. This avatar uses alpha layers and some scripted objects that require the updated viewers to work properly.
The WereHouse Avatars were at the forefront of Second Life® quadruped avatar creation since our first "Critters" line was introduced in early 2006. Since then we've offered 170 different quadruped avatar choices, including the smaller Critters up to the huge Dires. But now we're offering something a little better, a little more realistic, and in between the two previously existing avatars.
The Wild Tiger is one of the "WereHouse Wilds" line of avatars. It comes with many of the great features people have known our avatars for: Facial expressions, customization, user controlled animations, and more!
So let's talk actual features. Starting with the visuals, the Tiger comes with five stock texture packs: Orange, White, Golden Tabby, Maltese, and Recolorable. This means you can choose between four realistic texture sets, or select the Recolorable skin to make your own color scheme. The Recolorable Texture Pack has five independent color areas: Body, Underside, Legs, Stripes, and Paws. In addition, the eyes have three independent recolorable areas that work with every skin: Pupil, Inner Iris and Outer Iris. Users can also use the HUD to select the pupil size for the avatar.
The Wild Tiger is also built to accept third party texture packs. That means if a person makes their own texture set and wishes to sell it or give it away to Wild Tiger avatar owners, they can seamlessly add it to the Avatar without having to go through us. Placeholder buttons are available on the HUD to access newly added texture packs, or via command line.
The Wild Tiger comes with a HUDAO (Heads Up Display Animation Overrider) that controls most aspects of the avatar. The Wild Tiger comes with 51 Animations. This includes the standard AO animations of: eight idle stand poses, walk, run, flying, hovering, swimming, etcetera. The HUD has 22 user selected animations, including grooming, roaring, clawswipe, laying/sleeping poses, and other common feline behaviors.
The HUD also has seven facial expressions available, including snarling and panting. It also has controls for the Ears and Tail. The Ear toggles allow you to set up the ears to move around randomly, flick on 'touch', or be forced forward or pinned back. The tail allows you to select an up or down position, three wagging speeds, and select between a flexi tail and a sculpted prim tail.
The avatar and the HUD are modifiable. And it has new scripting that will allow you to resize any moving parts. So you can make the nose longer, shorter, thinner, etc, and the facial expression functionality will still work.

•21 Facial Control Commands

Dissapointing
This is a bit of a let down sadly, the avatar is glitchy, there are bugs riddled with the animation and colouring of the tigers fur and the neck doesn't seem properly configured for some animations. A little annoyed as on the surface it is a very good looking feral avatar and some decent animations let down by shoddy configuration.
