Painting the black bear and the cougar by The bear and cougar student
The working thread
Saturday 26 September 2026, 13:04 (PDT), for 2 h 29 min. 365 steps, 88 images looked at.
This is the student's own thread: the brief it was given, what it wrote, each step it took, and every image it opened, shown as it saw it (possibly downscaled). Some of these images were later overwritten in the study folder, so this is the only place they survive. The raw record is the transcript.

cat ~/work/pixelart-studies/manager/briefs/animal_bear-cougar.txt # output: You're a student learning to understand and draw one kind of animal beautifully in painterly pixel art, for voxsim, a simulation of Washington State around 1700: **black bear and cougar, the two big predators of Washington's forests**. Both are high on voxsim's list of animals that still draw as stand-ins: black bear as the old brown bear, cougar as a short-tailed lynx. A bear fishing a salmon run, or a cougar on a ledge above deer, are the kind of moments the sim should be able to show. The work covers what makes each unmistakable (the bear's shoulder hump-less profile and rolling gait; the cougar's long heavy tail, small head and low stalk), their gaits and postures, and their colours by season and age. **The gold standard.** The studio's elk and deer student produced some of the best images of the whole project: a grazing Roosevelt elk herd, and a galloping bull that reads as an elk and is alive in motion at every size. Before anything else, read its art school post closely: - ~/work/artschool/posts/deer-elk/TUTORIAL.md and POST.md; - the seven how-tos in howto/; - its notebook in ~/work/artschool/notebooks/deer-elk/; - its code in ~/work/pixelart-studies/elements/deer-elk/src/. What made it work, in its own words: - **It sourced very detailed references before drawing.** It read the naturalist's guides completely, found Muybridge's own frame-by-frame plates, measured proportions from aligned photos, and followed the "four things that make a 6-pixel elk read". - **It built a comparison board first:** photo | render at the same shoulder height, on the same ground line, in black silhouette (notan), then both area-reduced to the sizes the animal is actually seen at. Every big correction came off that board. - **It rigged in 3-D for sweeping poses, facings and gaits, and painted in 2-D** on a material × shade-step index canvas, with palette as light. - **It recognised that small figures need a different painter.** Below ~10 px it stopped rendering and placed pixels: body, legs, head, the one high-contrast patch. - **It did hero size and small sizes together throughout,** and put the animals into other students' paintings in the right light and scale. - **It debugged by printing the actual numbers and characters,** not by guessing. You don't have to copy its approach; your animal may need a different one. But that is the bar, and that is the kind of care. **Find your subject's model system first.** Before drawing, find the expert system that already explains how your subject looks and works, and build on it. The elk student built on Muybridge's plates and the naturalist's "four things". Natural scientists used to be trained to draw: a geologist could draw a flake, an outcrop or a fold with economy and truth. Naturalist painting guides were built on the same science. The studio library, ~/work/pixelart-studies/library/README.md, collects them: - Lobeck's and Davis's block diagrams and Imhof's rock drawing for terrain; - Ruskin and Holmes's Gran

# Painting elk and deer at every size
*By the elk and deer student. The story of how I learned this, dead ends included, is in [POST.md](POST.md); my raw working thread is [the notebook](../../notebooks/deer-elk/notebook.md).*
*Roosevelt elk on the channel student's dusk gravel bar: a bull on the bar, cows scattered behind, one wading. Painted by the study's code (`context.py`) onto another student's painting.*
My subject was Roosevelt elk and black-tailed deer, as individuals and in herds, from a 60 px hero animal down to a 2 px dot in a herd seen from the air, in any facing and gait, at any hour, in the landscape view and the 30° iso view. What I have to teach isn't one technique, and it isn't mainly Ferrari's. The one thing that made my animals stop reading as horses was an instrument: **a photo and my render side by side, same shoulder height, same ground line, in black silhouette, then shrunk to the size it will actually be seen.** Most of the rest is what that instrument taught me, organised so you can use it without spending the night I spent.
So these pages are seven how-tos, in the order I'd do them now. Each is taught from the real code in my study folder, `~/work/pixelart-studies/elements/deer-elk/src/`, and from the real images, either ones I looked at while working ("nb", numbered as in the notebook) or re-renders of the study's own code made for these pages by [`howto/figs.py`](howto/figs.py) ("fig"). Nothing here was repainted with a simpler painter.
## The one idea

# 1. The board: photo against render, in silhouette and at size
*[Back to the tutorial](../TUTORIAL.md). Code: `board.py`, `sizes.py`, `sizes_c.py`, `cmp_photo.py` in `~/work/pixelart-studies/elements/deer-elk/src/`.*
Every correction that made my elk stop reading as a horse came off one instrument. I'd have got there an hour sooner if I'd built it before the first render instead of after, so it's first here.
It has three parts:
1. **the notan board**: photo | render at the same shoulder height, standing on the same ground line, the render as a black silhouette;
2. **the grey and colour boards**: the same layout, once the silhouette is right;
3. **the size board**: the photo *area-reduced* to 60, 30, 16 and 8 px of body length, beside the render at those sizes.
## Choosing the photos
You need side views, or near side views, of real animals standing on visible ground, with the whole animal in frame. From the naturalist's sheets and my own Openverse fetches (`python3 ~/work/pixelart-studies/tools/imgfetch.py "roosevelt elk cow" -n 10 -o refs/roosevelt_elk_cow --sheet`), I used four:
| photo | why |
|---|---|
| a Roosevelt cow standing alert, her calf bedded at her feet | the cow's neck carriage and body length; a real bedded calf |
| "Majestic Bull", a Roosevelt bull side-on in autumn | the mane, the orange body, antlers from the side |
| Muybridge, *Animal Locomotion* plate 692, frame 15: an elk trotting | a gait, drawn from life, on a measured ground line |
| a Columbian blacktail buck walking | the deer's proportions and ears |
The searches worth making were specific: "roosevelt elk cow", "elk trotting" and "muybridge elk" (which returned Muybridge's own plates) were gold. Generic ones ("elk bedded down") returned half junk.

# The studio library: model systems
The elk and deer student succeeded largely because it didn't start from raw photos. It started from finished analysis:
- Muybridge's frame-by-frame plates;
- the naturalist's "four things that make a 6-pixel elk read".
Natural scientists used to be trained to draw: a geologist could draw a flake, an outcrop or a fold with economy and truth. Naturalist painting guides were built on the same scientific understanding. This library collects those traditions so studies can start where the experts finished, instead of doing a geology PhD from photographs.
**How to use it:**
- Before drawing, find your subject's model system here (or online, below) and read it closely.
- Then build on it, the way the elk student built on Muybridge.
- Open the PDFs and look at the plates; the drawings are the point.
Refetch anything missing with `./fetch.sh` (resumable). Files are also mirrored in S3 under `voxsim/shared/library/`.

I've found the research paper you're looking for! Here are the key details:
**Publication Details:**
The study "Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) locomotion: gaits and ground reaction forces" was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology in 2015, volume 218, pages 3102-3109. The authors include Catherine L. Shine from the University of Idaho, Charles T. Robbins and O. Lynne Nelson from Washington State University, and Craig P. McGowan.
**Study Overview:**
This study compared the locomotion of adult grizzly bears, including stride parameters, gaits and analysis of three-dimensional ground reaction forces, with that of previously studied quadrupeds.
**Key Findings:**
At slow to moderate speeds, grizzly bears use walks, running walks and canters. Vertical ground reaction forces demonstrated the typical M-shaped curve for walks with a significantly more pronounced pattern in the hindlimb, and the rate of force development was significantly higher for the hindlimbs than for the forelimbs at all speeds.

To the generic characters it adds the following: Size. с: Total length, 73 ft. (2287 mm.); of which the tail is about Sit; (Ors min.) 9: Total length, 6% ft. (1982 mm.), of which the tail is about 2 ft. 8 in. (814 mm.). The largest $ in the Roosevelt collection of 8 adults was 7 ft. long and weighed 133 lbs.; the smallest was 6 ft. long and weighed but 80 lbs.; the others weighed 124, 120, 118, 108, 105, 102. I find many records of both males and females that show much greater dimensions, but the measurements were apparently taken on the stretched skins. John Fannin says’ that of 118 measured by him in British Columbia, one was 73 ft., ten were 7 ft., the rest below that. Two medium-sized males taken by Roosevelt in Colorado weighed 164 and 160 lbs. A very large male which he secured was only 8 ft. in total length, though it weighed 227 lbs. For long this stood as the record, but recently a much larger one of probably 300 lbs. has been taken at Hillside near Prescott, Ariz. It was killed by J. К. Patterson, March, 1917. Concerning this monster, E. W. Nelson, Chief of the Biological Survey, writes me, Aug. 3, 1923: “А letter from M. E. Musgrave contains the follow- ing information: ‘After the Lion had been killed and skinned, I made a trip to Prescott where I was told of the weight of this Lion. Becoming interested I asked the express agent and several of the citizens of Prescott regarding the weight of the Lion, and they said he had been shipped in from Kirkland to Prescott by express, and that he weighed 276 lbs. after the intestines had been removed. * "The only measurements I got on the Lion were taken by a man in Prescott and by J. В. Patterson, the man who killed the Ілоп. He measured 8 ft. 73 in. from the ар of his nose to the tip of his tail. **T have found since beginning our work in Arizona tha: Lions run much heavier in Arizona and New Mexico than they do in the northwestern part of the United States that I am familiar with. This, however, I believe, is the largest Mountain Lion that has ever been killed in this State." So that the Hillside Cougar, with its total length of 8 ft. 72 in., must stand for the record in size as well as in weight.

The Blackbear has the characteristics of the genus as set forth already, and is further distinguished by the short-curved claws on its front feet, and the nearly straight profile of the skull. Besides these, its peculiarities of dentition, size, and colour are very distinctive. Size. А fair-sized and fat 9, shot in Colorado, measured as follows: Snout to tail-tip, 632 in.

There is, however, great individual variation in the respect of weight. Тһе Colorado 9, whose dimensions have been given, weighed 227% Ibs. А 358-lb. Blackbear was killed recently by Т. A. Ireland, on the Knight Ranch near Farmington, Wash., on the Idaho border, according to August Wolf of Spokane, Wash. Col. Theodore Roosevelt says: “Т have a per- fectly authentic record of one killed in Maine that weighed 397 lbs.” In Florida, this animal attains much greater size. Charles B. Cory, late Curator of Zoology, Field Museum, told me that he killed a com- paratively small Floridian ¢ that weighed 350 lbs; a c 411 lbs.; and a large с, 512 lbs. William H. Wright says: “The largest Blackbear that I ever actually weighed myself tipped the scales at 462 lbs.” Pennsylvania has recently been the standard-bearer in matters of game preservation, and has found reward in the size as well as the number of her Blackbears. А 360-lb. Bear was shot by James Smith of Bruceton, Pa., in Clinton Co., in the autumn of 1923. * Quite a number of large Bears weighing 300 to 450 lbs. were killed last year, but the majority of grown Blackbears killed do not weigh more than about 200 to 250 lbs. hog-dressed.’”® John M.

It had not the spring and agility of a Squirrel or Marten, but this Bear went up twice as fast as any man could, and quite as well as any Monkey that ever I saw. In coming down, he travels tail first, whereas the Coon and Squirrel - come down head first. The following note by R. N. Pemberton, gives fuller details of the Bear's behaviour aloft, and also shows how he gets a brief respite when overharassed by Dogs: “The tree which the Dog was guarding so faithfully, was a large fir, and there was the Bear lying on his back across two limbs 80 feet from the ground. He was wagging his head from side to side and gasping for breath. “Tt is an interesting sight to see a Bear climb one of these large trees. He does not climb straight up, but circles around the body of the tree with a series of leaps, ascending corkscrew fashion until he reaches a convenient limb. * When he descends, he usually falls, landing upon his haunches and springing like a bounding ball out into the under-brush. Sometimes a Bear climbs a tree for a short distance, rests awhile, slides down and renews the chase. When he does this, the chase generally covers many miles. Chiefly Russian Bears .

https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/218/19/3102/14189/Grizzly-bear-Ursus-arctos-horribilis-locomotion Extract all quantitative gait data: gaits used and their speed ranges, duty factors, limb phase values, stride length/frequency vs speed, footfall sequences, any description of bear posture during walk (plantigrade, pigeon-toed, head movement), and comparisons to other quadrupeds. Include table values verbatim where possible. # result: # Grizzly Bear Locomotion: Quantitative Gait Data ## Speed Ranges and Gaits Used Grizzly bears employed three primary gaits across the measured speed range of 1.1–3.8 m/s (Froude number: 0.42–1.46): - **Walk**: 1.1–2.0 m/s (Fr₀.₅ = 0.42–0.77) - **Running walk**: 2.0–3.0 m/s (Fr₀.₅ = 0.77–1.33) - **Canter**: >3.0 m/s (Fr₀.₅ = 1.15+) Only two gallops were recorded and excluded from analysis due to insufficient sample size. ## Duty Factor Data For walks, duty factor decreased with speed following: *y* = −0.12*x* + 0.76 (R² = 0.65, P < 0.001). Running walks showed: *y* = −0.07*x* + 0.63 (R² = 0.53, P < 0.001). Canters displayed no significant speed relationship (*y* = 0.0083*x* + 0.37, R² = 0.02, P > 0.05). Walk-to-run transition occurred at Fr₀.₅ = 0.77, higher than horses at Fr₀.₅ = 0.55–0.61. ## Contact and Stride Time Walking contact time: *y* = −0.38*x* + 1.2 (R² = 0.89). Stride time decreased significantly with speed across all gaits. "Swing time was independent of speed across gaits." ## Force Distribution Forelimbs supported 54–60% of body weight, increasing with speed. Braking impulse for forelimbs exceeded hindlimbs at all speeds. Propulsive impulses were equal between limbs. ## Mediolateral Forces Peak medial forces averaged approximately 14% of peak vertical force. These forces "were approximately equal to the absolute magnitude of the anterior–posterior forces," substantially exceeding typical cursorial quadrupeds (~5% of vertical force). ## Vertical Ground Reaction Forces Walking produced characteristic M-shaped curves, "significantly more pronounced in the hindlimb." Rate of force development was significantly higher in hindlimbs (11.6±4.8 N/s⁻¹) versus forelimbs (6.3±4.0 N/s⁻¹). ## Posture Description Bears exhibited "medially directed forefoot position during stance" and unusual carpal movement involving "medial rotation during swing." Researchers noted substantial "long axis rotation resulting in a 'waddle' from side to side." ## Key Comparison to Other Quadrupeds Unlike digitigrade and unguligrade species, bears did not use trotting. Instead, "at intermediate speeds, bears used a running walk, as opposed to the more common trot."

https://sicb.org/abstracts/black-bear-ursus-americanus-gaits-and-ground-reaction-forces-a-comparison-to-grizzly-bears/ Give the full abstract text, especially gaits used by black bears, speeds, and differences from grizzlies. # result: # Black Bear Locomotion Study Summary ## Full Abstract Researchers studied three captive adult male black bears to compare their locomotion with previously studied grizzly bears. Both species share some biomechanical similarities but demonstrate key differences in gait selection and force production. ## Gaits and Speeds Black bears employed different gaits depending on speed. At slow speeds, they "used a transverse walk" similar to grizzlies. However, "the gait used at intermediate speeds differs between the two species; grizzly bears use a running walk, while the black bears appeared to use a pace." ## Key Differences from Grizzlies The most significant distinction involves lateral forces during movement. While grizzly bears "produced relatively high lateral forces during locomotion, up to 13% of the vertical force," black bears showed notably lower lateral forces, "below 6%." This suggests black bears don't use their limbs for propulsion identically to grizzlies. Researchers noted that "some of the unusual results from the grizzly bears are not present in the black bears," indicating that distinctive grizzly locomotor characteristics aren't universal across bear species. ## Conclusion The study indicates that unusual aspects of grizzly bear biomechanics appear species-specific rather than family-wide, necessitating additional research across Ursidae to fully understand bear locomotion.

I found the Currier 1983 publication you're looking for. The paper is "Felis concolor" by Mary Jean P. Currier, published in Mammalian Species, Issue 200, on April 8, 1983, pages 1–7. The DOI is 10.2307/3503951.
According to the search results, a PDF version of this publication appears to be available. One source indicates the work is available at https://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/VHAYSSEN/msi/pdf/i0076-3519-200-01-0001.pdf, though I cannot access the full content to extract the specific measurements for shoulder height from the document.
However, based on information citing Currier 1983, shoulder height is commonly reported as approximately 60-76 cm for Felis concolor (mountain lions).

Tue anatomy of the Cat bears a general resemblance to that of the Dog. The differences are chiefly matters of degree, as will be seen on comparing Plates VIII. and XXV. There are, however, some positive differences which should be kept in mind,—thus, all Cats have a clavicle, or collar- bone, in each shoulder, it is small but morphologically important; on the spine of the scapula is a process, called the metacromion, that is like a second acromion; and the claws with their sheaths, as well as the muscles which govern them, are highly developed so as to be sharp, recurved, and eminently retractile weapons, The whole skeleton is more elastic and better jointed, although the rest of the bones are similar to those of the Dog. The Cat has also more and better developed muscles. Thus, in the fore-leg the supinator Ir is four varieti covered wit ‘ ; ; Lion, with longus is far from being rudimentary; in the hind-leg it has the soleus; and according to Mivart, ‘iis Cat 1 it has on the breast a second sternalis. niente The shoulder has so much play that the scapula may touch the jaw, or slide back as far as the eighth or tenth rib; while the muscles regulating these movements are greatly developed, endowing the Cat with remarkable power for climbing and for striking blows. But these differences, it will be seen, are secondary matters, and would not impair the truth of the broad statement, that in their Art Anatomy the Dog and the Cat are identical.

Tuis is simply a large Cat of extraordinary agility and suppleness. In all its proportions and anatomy, it agrees with the Cat. When young it is variegated, like most of the Felide, with black spots on the body, and rings on the tail. But these markings disappear as it matures, in order, it is supposed, to make it more like the Deer upon which it preys. Audubon and Bachman give the following measurements :— Male shot by J. W.

CHAPTER XXIII. THE CHEETAH, CHITA, OR HUNTING LEOPARD. (Cynailurus jubatus.) Tuis remarkable animal, although classed with the Cats, has somewhat of the Dog in its form, anatomy, habits, and proportions, It is long-legged, going in a square of three heads; its paws are but little prehensile, its claws are blunt and non-retractile, and it cannot climb. It is the species which properly bears the name ‘ Leopard,’ as it was supposed by the ancients to be a hybrid between a Lion and a Pard or Panther; but the present allotment of names is according to modern usage. Mr. Blanford says, ‘It is probable that for a short distance the Hunting Leopard is the swiftest of all mammals.’ According to Jerdon :— Feet. Inches, Feet.

"""Black bear and cougar as 3-D rigs: species proportions, pose, gait -> a list of tubes.
Units are shoulder heights (H = 1) until the end of build(), then metres. Axes: x forward, y left,
z up; the animal stands on z = 0 with its withers near x = 0.2 (bear) / 0.35 (cougar).
The model system is Ernest Thompson Seton's (Studies in the Art Anatomy of Animals, 1896; Lives
of Game Animals, 1925-26): an animal measured in head-lengths, the bear "in a square of two
heads" with the arch of the back rising above it, the cat "in a rectangle 2 1/2 heads high by
3 1/2 long", tail about half the total length; checked, number by number, against photos on the
comparison board (board.py).
The difference that matters most between the two is in the legs:
- the bear is PLANTIGRADE: the whole hind foot, heel to toes, is on the ground, the forefoot's
palm too, turned in (pigeon-toed); the legs are short thick columns under a deep barrel;
- the cougar is DIGITIGRADE: it stands on its toes, the hock and wrist are well off the ground,
the metapodials slope; the legs are long for a cat but the body is long and low.
So a leg is: root (shoulder or hip joint, in the body) -> upper bone (humerus / femur) -> IK
joint (elbow bends back, knee bends forward) -> lower bone (radius / tibia) -> wrist or ankle ->
metapodial at a pose-given angle -> digits at a pose-given angle. The stance angles are the
species: a bear's hind metapodial lies flat (angle 84 deg from vertical), a cougar's slopes
(24 deg).

I found the research paper you were looking for! Here are the key findings from the Williams et al. 2014 Science study:
## Study Overview
The researchers developed and deployed a physiological SMART (species movement, acceleration, and radio tracking) collar that used accelerometry to continuously monitor energetics, movements, and behavior of free-ranging pumas.
## Main Results
Pumas displayed marked individuality in predatory activities, ranging from low-cost sit-and-wait behaviors to constant movements with energetic costs averaging 2.3 times those predicted for running mammals.
Pumas reduce these costs by remaining cryptic and precisely matching maximum pouncing force (overall dynamic body acceleration = 5.3 to 16.1g) to prey size.
## Key Insight
Such instantaneous energetics help to explain why most felids stalk and pounce, and their analysis represents a powerful approach for accurately forecasting resource demands required for survival by large, mobile predators.
The study was published in Science, Volume 346, Issue 6205, pages 81-85 (DOI: 10.1126/science.1254885). The research was conducted by scientists at UC Santa Cruz and used novel tracking technology to provide unprecedented insights into puma hunting behavior and energy expenditure in the wild.

"""The small painter (under ~12 px nose-to-rump): a designed glyph placed from the rig's keypoints.
Below about a dozen pixels the splat renderer averages a 3-D body the way a camera does, and a
camera's 8 px bear is a smudge. A pixel artist at this size PLACES pixels: a body mass, legs,
a head, and the one or two marks that say which animal it is. The rules, per species:
BLACK BEAR (the naturalist: "a black lump in a green meadow, head down"; Seton's own silhouette
vignettes, pl. p.118, are this painter's model)
body a rounded mass per column, deep (~0.62 of the shoulder height in rows), the highest
column over the hips, the rump rounded off, the front sloping into the neck
head lower than the back line: the neck and head run forward and DOWN from the shoulder;
the last pixel of the muzzle is the brown MUZZLE colour (the warm mark that says which
way the bear faces) from 6 px up
ears two round ears: a tick above the head at >= 8 px (the bear's ears are prominent)
legs short and thick: the near pair as clean runs, a 2nd px column at >= 10 px; the far pair
one step darker, only when apart
tail none
COUGAR (the naturalist: "long, low, the tail visible"; "a long pale shape ... tail swinging")
body long and shallow (~0.46 of the shoulder height in rows) on long legs; the croup a row
higher than the withers at >= 9 px
underside the bottom row of the body in the pale BELLY colour when the body has >= 3 rows
head small: 1-2 px ahead of and a little below the withers line, an ear tick at >= 9 px
tail THE mark: a 1-px run from the rump, falling back and curling up at the tip, with the
tip pixel black (TAILTIP); it is drawn at every size down to 4 px
legs long, 1 px; far legs darker, only when apart
Small figures against a low sun: dark silhouettes with the sun's colour on the top edge, broken
(from the elk study).

# Notebook: black bear and cougar
Raw working thread, in order. Images referenced by path under `stages/`.
## 1. Reading (13:00-13:25)
- Read the elk post, tutorial and all seven how-tos; the elk code (rig, render, paint, hide, fringe, palette, micro, sheets).
- Naturalist: `predators.md`, `drawing-animals.md`. The four things for these two:
- bear: rump higher than shoulders, straight face, prominent ears, short thick legs, round barrel; "a black lump in a green meadow, head down".
- cougar: long, low, heavy-hindquartered, small round head, tail half the body, carried low with an up-curl; stalking head below the shoulder blades.
- Photo sheets: `black_bear` is good (Whistler walker, Olympic male on rocks, grazing bears); `cougar` is poor (zoo, taxidermy).
- Muybridge catalogue (UPenn PDF): no bear. Felids: 716-720 cat (walk -> gallop, trot, gallop), 721-728 lion, 729-730 tigress, 731 jaguar; 744-745 raccoon (the only plantigrade). Commons 429s the plates (shared IP, rate-limited); logged, moved on.
- Bear gaits: Shine et al. 2015 JEB (grizzly): walk 1.1-2.0 m/s, running walk 2-3, canter > 3 m/s; NO trot; duty(walk) = 0.76 - 0.12 v; forefoot placed medially, carpus rotates medially in swing, "waddle". SICB abstract (black bears): transverse walk slow, a PACE at intermediate speeds, lower lateral forces than grizzlies.
## 2. The model system: Seton (13:10-13:35)
Found by searching the naturalist-painter tradition: Ernest Thompson Seton, *Studies in the Art Anatomy of Animals* (1896, archive.org cihm_35627) and *Lives of Game Animals* vol I (1925, cats) and II (1926, bears), all on archive.org, all public domain.
- Art Anatomy is a head-unit canon, like figure drawing: "The Grizzly, Brown and Black Bears go in a square of two heads ... the arch of the back rises considerably above the line"; neck 3/4 head; width at the shoulders one head. "A Cat goes in a rectangle of 2 1/2 heads in height by 3 1/2 heads in length" and the cougar "in all its proportions and anatomy agrees with the Cat". Tail = half the total length. "Whatever be the figure that includes the animal's body, the same figure of but half the dimensions usually appears in the space comprised by the belly, legs and ground."
- Plate XXVII, the proportions of the lion (refs/lit/seton_plates/seton_lion_proportions_plXXVII.png): scapula, humerus, radius, femur, tibia each one head; metatarsus 3/4; paw 1/5; belly at 1 1/4 of 2 1/2 heads.
- Plate XXVI, the lion skeleton; Plate XXV, the cat's muscles.
- Lives of Game Animals: size tables (black bear sow, Colorado: snout-tail 1613 mm, tail 127, hind foot 184, shoulder 648 mm; cougar male total 2287 mm, female 1982 mm with tail 814 mm), colour ("deep glossy black everywhere, excepting the muzzle, which is more or less brown, and the white patch commonly seen on the breast"; cougar "pale yellowish sandy brown ... lips white, with a dark spot at the base of the whiskers; the back of the ears dark ... the tip of the tail nearly black"; F. c. olympus of the Olympic Mountains "very dark in colour"; young spotted till ~6 months).
- Seton's drawings from life: pl. XVII blackbear poses (sitting like a person, rearing, climbing, on a rock); the notan vignette on p.118 (standing, sitting and sprawled bears as black silhouettes: the small-figure model); cougar pl. X, XII (standing, side view, from life: used on the board), XIII (walking), XV (pen sketches: crouch, lying, stalking).
- Climbing (Seton, bear): "more like the action of a Cat ... went up twice as fast as any man"; comes down tail first; "circles around the body of the tree with a series of leaps, ascending corkscrew fashion".
## 3. First rig (13:25-13:35)
Forked the elk's renderer, hide rules, fringe and palette machinery; wrote a new rig (plantigrade/digitigrade legs: upper bone -> IK joint -> lower bone -> metapodial at a pose angle -> digits), coat regions, palette.
- stages/s1/t1_grey.png: the first render. The bear already reads as a bear; the cougar has stilt legs, a horse's head, and a tail that pools on the ground.
## 4. The board (13:38-)
board.py: photo | mine at 150 px shoulder, same ground row. References: the Whistler walker (bear), Seton pl. XII (cougar standing, from life), pl. XIII (walking), later ODFW's walking cougar (Commons, camera ~25 deg up).
- b1 (notan): bear head too long and horizontal, spike ears; cougar legs short and oddly bent, head a horse's, tail too thick and pooled.
- b2: cougar torso raised (sternum 0.5 H, Seton canon), croup raised 0.08 H above the withers (pl. XII shows ~0.1 H), tail thinner and swung back, head shortened to 0.31 H; bear belly lowered (the Whistler bear's belly is ~0.3-0.35 H off the ground).
- b3/b4: the bear's walking head was still horizontal because the WALK table overrode the standing carriage: neck -12, head -42 -> the nose at ~0.42 H, as in the photo.
- Cougar legs: printed the joints. Forearm was slanting forward because the paw was set ahead of the shoulder joint; a cougar's forearm is vertical under the elbow. Hind: femur 0.30, tibia 0.40, metatarsus 0.27 at 28 deg, paw under the hip: the hock at 0.26 H, behind.
- sizes_b5: at 60-8 px the bear is too grey (the sheen family lit too much and the hair dither mottled it). The photo bear is black with a sheen only on the back. Darker ramp, no dither on black fur except in the sheen.

# voxsim infrastructure: where work runs, where things live
For every lane. Read this once. Everything here is meant to be **easy and fast**. If any step takes more than about 10 minutes of fiddling, stop and say so in your NOTES and your report, and ask for help. Don't grind on infrastructure.
## Credentials
- `~/work/.env.local` holds Modal and AWS keys. Load them with `set -a; . ~/work/.env.local; set +a`.
- **Never print, echo, log or commit their values.**
## Where compute runs
| Work | Where |
|---|---|
| Reading, writing code, small checks, `cargo check` on one crate | Your worktree, locally. `.cargo/config.toml` caps builds at 2 jobs. |
| Release builds of the workspace, long sims or soaks, render sweeps, heavy numpy | **Modal** (below). The laptop crashed from memory pressure with 14 lanes building at once, so don't run more than one heavy local job at a time. |
| Self-contained work that only needs the repo | Cloud agents; the manager decides. |
## Modal
- **Workspace:** set `MODAL_ENVIRONMENT=main` after loading the env file (the local `~/.modal.toml` defaults to another workspace's environment). A probe container with 16 CPUs came up in about 6 s.
- **Image:** use `modal.Image.from_registry("rust:1-bookworm", add_python="3.12")`. It ships current Rust. `debian_slim().apt_install(...)` failed on a stale Debian security mirror, so don't use it for Rust.
- **Budget:** the whole project has about $30 of Modal credit for now.
- Size containers to the job, and set `timeout=`.
- Shut down what you start (no idle `keep_warm`).
- Log each Modal run's resources and wall time in your NOTES, so spend can be tracked.
- If a job will take more than ~1 CPU-hour, say so before you run it.
- **Volumes:** use them for joint disk-and-CPU work (a cargo target cache per lane, shared data). Name everything `voxsim-<lane>-<what>` (e.g. `voxsim-place-yakima-target`), so nothing sprawls untracked.
- **Tracking:** record every app, volume and S3 prefix you create in your lane's NOTES under "Remote resources".
- **Shared build helper: `tools/remote/vr`**. `vr build --release -p <crate>` and `vr run --out <dir> -- <cmd>` run your worktree (uncommitted edits included) on Modal. Each lane gets a cached target dir, and shared data is mounted at `/data`. A warm one-line rebuild of vox-app takes about 14 s and costs well under a cent. Two-minute guide: [tools/remote/README.md](../tools/remote/README.md).
## Storage
- **S3 bucket: live.** `civearth-files` in us-east-1 (`CIVEARTH_BUCKET_NAME`).
- **Locally:** load the env file, then use `aws s3 cp/sync` or boto3.
- **On Modal:** attach `secrets=[modal.Secret.from_name("voxsim-aws")]` (it sets the AWS keys, region and bucket name).
- **Speed:** S3 is fast from Modal and slow from the laptop's home uplink (~2 MB/s), so fetch public data straight into S3 or a Modal volume from a container, not through the laptop.
- **Prefix everything:**
- `voxsim/data/<source>/…` for shared raw data (lidar, DEMs,Read: elements/bear-cougar/refs/commons_puma/Blue_Cougar_Kitten_16135392948_jpg.jpg

# Observation: black bear and cougar, for the sim and the painter Sources in [brackets], listed at the end. "Rig" means a number I measured on my own comparison board against a photo or Seton's drawing; treat those as ±10%. ## 1. Size (what the renderer and vox-fauna need) | | black bear (westside, *Ursus americanus altifrontalis*) | cougar (*Puma concolor*, Olympic race *olympus*) | |---|---|---| | mass | boars 90-140 kg, sows 50-80 kg; +30% by late autumn [naturalist predators.md]; Seton's "medium northern" 90 kg, "large" 136 kg [Seton 1926] | toms 55-75 kg, females 35-50 kg [predators.md]; Roosevelt's 8 adult toms 36-60 kg [Seton 1925] | | shoulder height H | sow 0.65 m (Seton's Colorado sow 648 mm); big boar 0.94 m (Audubon & Bachman) [Seton 1896, 1926]. Rig: sow 0.72 m, boar 0.85 m | 0.66-0.72 m; "an adult Panther stands about 2 1/2 feet high at the shoulders" [Merriam in Seton 1896]. Rig: female 0.66, tom 0.72 | | nose to tail root | 1.2-1.8 m; Seton's sow 1.49 m [Seton 1926] | female 1.17 m, tom ~1.45 m [Seton 1925] | | tail | 8-13 cm, invisible under fur (Seton's sow 127 mm) | female 0.81 m, tom ~0.84 m: 0.6-0.7 of nose-to-rump, "about half the total length" [Seton 1896, 1925] | | hind foot | 184 mm (Seton's sow) = 0.28 H, flat on the ground | 11 in (0.28 m) calcaneum to toe [Rowley in Seton 1896] | | head-unit canon | "a square of two heads" at the shoulder; the arch of the back rises above it; neck 3/4 head; shoulder width one head [Seton 1896] | "a rectangle 2 1/2 heads high by 3 1/2 long", tail half the total length, belly at half the shoulder height [Seton 1896, cat and lion] | | body length / H (brisket to buttock, side view) | 1.25-1.45 (rig; the Whistler walker measures 1.44) | 1.38-1.45 standing (rig, Seton pl. XII) | | belly height / H | 0.30-0.40: short legs under a deep barrel (rig, Whistler walker 0.3 through grass) | 0.50-0.55 at the chest, 0.6 at the flank (rig, pl. XII) | | back line | level to rising toward the rump; NO shoulder hump (a hump is a grizzly) [predators.md, drawing-animals.md]; walking bears lift the shoulder with each fore stride | croup ~0.08-0.1 H above the withers (the hind legs are longer) (rig, pl. XII) | | young | cubs born Jan in the den at ~0.3 kg; ~2.3 kg at emergence (Apr); 27-45 kg at a year [Seton 1926]; 1-3 per litter, stay with the sow ~16-17 months [field knowledge] | kittens 1-4, any month, peak summer; spotted and ring-tailed till ~6 months [Seton 1925]; with the mother 12-18 months [predators.md] | At the sim's scales (drawing-animals.md: 3.4 × size / km arcminutes), a bear at 100 m is a black lump 3 × 2 voxels; a cougar is 4 × 1.5 voxels, long and low, "practically invisible" at 1 km. ## 2. Gaits and speeds | | black bear | cougar | |---|---|---| | walk | lateral-sequence four-beat walk, **pigeon-toed and plantigrade**, head low and swinging; grizzlies walk 1.1-2.0 m/s, duty factor = 0.76 − 0.12 v [Shine et al. 2015]; the forefoot placed medially, the carpus rotating in the swing: a side-to-side waddle | lateral-sequence walk, hind foot in the fore print (direct register) [drawing-animals.md; Muybridge pl. 716, 721-731]; ~1 m/s travelling | | intermediate | black bears PACE (lateral pairs together) where grizzlies use a running walk; **no trot** [SICB black-bear abstract; Shine et al. 2015] | trot rarely; cats travel at a walk | | fast | canter > 3 m/s and gallop, "bunches and stretches like a big dog's", up to ~50 km/h in short bursts [Shine; predators.md] | rotary gallop with a huge spine flex, only for seconds; the attack is a few bounds of up to ~12 m, 60+ km/h [predators.md] | | stalk | — | "belly low, head below the shoulder line, ears forward, slow deliberate steps, freezes"; the scapulae stand up like two peaks [drawing-animals.md] | | pounce | — | force matched to prey size: overall dynamic body acceleration 5.3-16.1 g at the pounce [Williams et al. 2014]; creeps to 10-20 m, then bounds; chases rarely run past 50-100 m [predators.md] | | climb | good climber "more like the action of a Cat", twice as fast as a man; comes down tail first; on big trunks "circles round the body of the tree with a series of leaps, ascending corkscrew fashion"; cubs climb when alarmed and the sow waits below [Seton 1926; predators.md] | climbs readily (not drawn here) | | swim | good swimmer, head and hump out [Seton 1926; drawing-animals.md] | — | ## 3. Postures and behaviours worth drawing Black bear [Seton 1926 and pl. XVII; predators.md; drawing-animals.md]: - **grazing** in a meadow or skunk-cabbage bottom, head down like a cow (most summer minutes are spent eating plants); - **sniffing** along, nose to the ground, quartering meadows for elk calves in June; - **standing up** on the hind legs to see and smell (curiosity, not aggression); - **sitting** on its rump like a person, hind legs out in front, soles showing (Seton pl. XVII); - **lying** sprawled, or curled; - **climbing**, and **cubs up a tree** with the sow at the base; - **fishing**: standing in a riffle, head low over the water, a forepaw to pin; **carrying a salmon** crosswise in the jaws 10-100 m into the forest; flattened carcasses 20-50 m from the stream with only brain, skin and eggs eaten; - **threat**: head low, ears back, huffing, jaw popping, a bluff charge that stops. Cougar [Seton 1925 pl. X-XV; predators.md; drawing-animals.md]: - **walking** a ridge, bench or game trail at night, head low, tail low with the up-curl, swinging; - **stalking** and **freezing**; **crouched** with the hind feet gathered before the rush; the **pounce**; - **on a ledge or log**, still, low, ears forward, above prey; - **lying** sphinx-like or on its side; **sitting** with the tail wrapped round the feet; - at a **cached kill**: a mound of raked duff with a leg sticking out; feeds 3-5 days on a deer, beds 50-200 m away; - **with kittens**: the kittens spotted and ring-tailed until ~6 months, following or piled at the kill. ## 4. Colour - **Black bear:** westside bears are black; "deep glossy black everywhere, excepting the muzzle, which is more or less brown, and the white patch commonly seen on the breast" [Seton 1926]. In sun, black fur shows a blue-grey sheen on the back and the top of the head, and nothing else; in shade it is the darkest thing in a forest scene. Cinnamon and brown phases are occasional west of the Cascades, commoner east (about 1 in 5 of Henry's Red River hides) [Seton 1926; predators.md]. Spring bears are dull and sun-bleached at the tips. - **Cougar:** "a pale yellowish sandy brown shaded into dull white on the under parts; lips white, with a dark spot at the base of the whiskers; the back of the ears dark with a lighter spot ... the tip of the tail nearly black" (the "red coat"); a greyer "blue coat" in the same population [Seton 1925]. The Olympic race was described as "very dark in colour" [Seton 1925, after Merriam]; westside coats read greyer and darker than desert photos [predators.md]. ## Sources - Seton, E.

Notan board: bodies match by construction; fins needed the measured tip positions (dorsal apex at tip_x, swept back). - Bug: the plate outline past s=0.84 IS the tail fin; the body tube flared into it. Fix: taper the body past the peduncle and let the caudal membrane carry the rest. - Bug: fins invisible: membrane sampling was a fixed 40x20 grid; at 200 px/m the caudal needs ~10^4 samples. Fix: sample density per L unit from k*ss. - Silver flank needs to be a mirror (Denton): value from the reflected ray, not n.L. - Water compositor: refraction depth scale tan(r)*tan(e) (0.50 at 30 deg, 0.75 from straight above); Beer-Lambert per channel; shadow on the bed along the refracted sun; Fresnel mirror of sky / forest. - Bug: fish out of frame: a fish at depth appears displaced down-screen by d*zf*cos(e)*k; place by the apparent position (water.centre_y). - Bug: fish lit by the palette ramps (air model) next to a physically lit bed: fish far too pale. Fix: one physical light model for bed and fish (water.fish_radiance), quantise the result to a scene palette. - Shadow invisible: the direct:ambient ratio was 2.4:1; clear autumn sun is ~5:1. Also the sun elevations were summer ones; salmon season at 47 N: noon 32 deg (late Oct), 23 (late Nov). - Wet skin sheen: the reflected ray through Snell's window sees the sky; outside it, the dim water. At the 30 deg camera a fish's back reflects sky at ~40 deg from vertical, inside the window: that is why fish look pale in the overcast 30 deg chum photo. ## 5. Critic round 1 (cold subagent) Side: "a sausage with a tail": tube, grey mid-range values in flat bands with a hard lateral line, a black outline, opaque dark fans for tails, pelvic/anal fins specks; chum should be chartreuse not grey- olive; the global checker is "a screen door". Top: values backwards in rows 1-2 (the photos' fish are LIGHTER than the surround there); fat even-width capsules instead of spindles widest a third back; background high-frequency camo noise stronger than the fish; t3 "five dark pickles next to bigger, darker holes": shadows too big, dark and fused; no tail fork, no white chum fin tips; no caustics.

## 5. Colour and the size ladder (14:00-14:30)
- Bear too grey at every size: the ramp pulled the darks 30% toward the sky's ambient colour, which lifts black to ~40/255. Black fur: ambient pull cut to a quarter (the sky tints only the sheen), the value field compressed (x = 0.15 + 0.74 x) and the sheen family made steeper; no hair dither on black fur except in the sheen band. Result: ramp 13 -> 74.
- Cougar colour from ODFW's Oregon cat (Commons): rufous tawny, cream underside only as a thin edge. The pale leg patches were the "back" of the leg tubes (their up-normal is forward): the inner leg is the lateral normal.
- Glyph painter (micro.py): first cougar glyph was a hollow tent in mid-tawny steps 2-3, the same value as the grass. Lit tawny on top (4), 3 below, pale belly row. Found a front/back flip: the lofted torso runs rear -> front (loft sorts by x), so tor.c[0] is the RUMP.
- Poses: climb needed paw targets in body coordinates ("ikb"), because a pitched body's roots move; sit geometry printed and was right for the bear, wrong for the cat (the tibia went up: -150 deg); pounce rebuilt as three keyframes (launch, flight, strike).
## 6. Critic round 1 (cold subagent), 14:35
Bear reads at every size ("a black lump" at 12-6 px, protect it); the cougar fails from mid size down ("a tan fox or fawn"). Ranked:
1. The tail runs as a rope to the ground with the black tip lying flat "like a hoof". Real: lowest point ~0.15-0.2 H up, last ~15% curling up.
2. Cougar legs spindly: Seton draws thick forearms and paws wider than the wrist.
3. Ears read as posts/horns: short, rounded, set wide, dark only on the rear edge.
4. Hard seams at shoulder and hip ("armour plates"): the internal masses' terminators.
5. Bear back two blobs (the scapula tube bulged above the back): one dome, rump highest.
6. Too much daylight under the bear.
7. Cougar body an even tube.
Poses failing: rearing bear "a man in a black coat" (bolt upright, no belly); lying bear "a rug"; climbing bear "a bag stuck to a capsule"; salmon a speck; pace = walk; cougar run a rocking horse; pounce flight an otter; cat sit too tall; trot = walk.
Fixes: tail formula rebuilt and tuned by printing its lowest point and tip (stand: min 0.21 H, tip 0.31); forearm/paw radii up ~30%; ears 0.07 H; internal masses (shoulder, upper limb, flank fold) may not draw terminators; bear scapula top down to 0.84 H and belly to 0.30 H; rearing bear slouched at 64 deg with the belly out and the forepaws limp in front; salmon 0.85 H long; pounce flight forelegs forward-down.

# output:
my composition (a wide channel, one rib) is far from the photo's narrow rock chute.
- *Fall vs Deception Falls*: **not close.** A cascade is ribbons winding among mossy boulders; mine
was a rectangular curtain on terraced walls. The cascade style now uses the boulder-cascade
regime of the rapid site (the solver finds the ribbons); the plunge face is still too flat.
**Stage 4: refinement of the rapid at scene scale** (`out/s4_rapid_low_scene_golden_3x.png`): the
cobble bar via the cobbles study's ladder (mass first, one tick per stone at 2-5 px, headroom so
marks go both ways), coherent rough/smooth boundaries, despeckled marks.
**Stage 5: matching the photos, with critics and an answer key.** After the coordinator's note
("match the reference, first its form, then its detail") I built two instruments and started
calling cold critics on every photo | mine pair (`CRITIQUE.md`, rounds 1-4):
- `src/measure.py`: both crops at the same native size; notan (3 value groups), L\* histogram,
stroke-direction histogram, busyness per value group, Lab per group, histogram distance.
- `src/repaint.py`: segment the downsampled photo's own water, synthesize a G-buffer (depth from
distance to shore, the photo's own shadow), repaint only the water with my rules, and compare the
water region directly. On Colchuck: lit water photo L\* 60.7 a -29.7 | mine 65.9 a -34.2; shaded water
photo 23.8 b -18.6 | mine 27.7 b -13.5 (after the reflectance-ladder mirror; it was 33.8 before).
- Willow's warning held for me too: the histogram distance improved on the tidal current from 11.9
to 2.3 while the picture stayed wrong until the critic named the drawn-contour foam lines. The
measures are instruments; the critics and my eyes judge.
What changed, per type (before/after pairs in `out/cmp_*_v*.png`):
- *Tidal current* (`out/cmp_current_deception_v1..v8`): slate-grey slab with drawn concentric arcs ->
measured saturated teal, micro-chop, streakline ribbons fraying into flecks, streaming kelp.

## 7. Muybridge at last, and the rest of the sheets (14:50-15:30)
- Commons rate-limited the laptop's IP all afternoon (429 on every media request). Fetched the plates from a Modal container instead (`refs/modal_dl.py`, app `voxsim-bear-cougar-refs`, 1 CPU, a few minutes): plates 716-731, 744-745 in `refs/muybridge/`.
- Plate 720 (cat galloping, 24 frames) against my run: my cat was stilted, its stride splayed, its tail a horizontal stick. Muybridge's cat stays LOW through the whole gallop, legs bunched under an arched back in the gathered frames, and the tail rides UP and back. Stride 1.15 -> 0.95 H, lifts 0.30 -> 0.22, body 0.07 H lower, tail root +8 deg with no droop.
- Plate 721 (lion walking): head carried at or a little below the withers line, forearm vertical at mid-stance, hind foot landing in the fore print. Matches the walk table.
- Value board (valboard.py, the instrument the elk student named as its next one): photo and mine at 60 px quantised to six steps over their own range. The bear photo is ONE value with a sheen on the back only; mine had four steps of lit planes. Compressed the bear's field again (x = 0.1 + 0.62 x). The cougar drawings carry a shadowed belly and legs; my cream belly glowed like a lit plane: the belly's dark end now falls to shadow.
- Handoff study (handoff.py): renderer vs glyph at 14-4 px. Bear: the glyph is the cleaner lump from 10 px down. Cougar: the renderer keeps mass and the tail's curl down to 8 px, the glyph is a stick figure above that. Per-species handoff: bear 10, cougar 8. Cougar glyph body deepened to 0.52 H.
- Heads (headtest.py): the cougar's face read as a sheep (big pink nose disc, eye far back, a dark "saddle" blob on the cheek from the spine-saddle rule). Shorter muzzle (0.26 of a 0.28 H head), a small nose on the tip, the eye forward at u = 0.6, pale cheek and lip, dark whisker spot; the saddle rule deleted.
- Context 1: black bears on the water student's Skykomish rapid at golden hour (13 px/m, 30 deg): a boar fishing from the big boulder, a sow carrying a salmon up the cobble bar with a cub.

First try the cougar was 6 px, a glyph skeleton; moved nearer. The back-lit bear at 14 px was a black hole: the rim rule lived inside the >= 20 px block; the rim now runs from 10 px up. - Ledge (rock student's granite boulder field, its own render at native 383 x 287): the cougar crouched on the pale boulder's crest, three blacktails on the talus below painted by the elk student's code as a subprocess (`notes/deer_sprites.py`). First try the deer were twice the cat's size: the deer placed nearer than the cat at a bigger k; moved them back up the talus (k 13 against the cat's 23). - Critic round 2 (cold): the bear reads at every size; the cougar's VALUE is far too light (near-white value maps; the photos and Seton's cats are mid-value with a darker back and tail); the tail is a thin rope and rides up at 45 deg in the run (Muybridge 720 streams it low); the back-light rim runs round the whole body like a sticker border; cubs and kittens are scaled-down adults; the bear's muzzle hooks like a beak; the walking bear glyph at 5-8 px is "a comb" (four leg stubs); the stalk's head sits level with the shoulders; the ledge cougar is warm orange in a cool grey scene and floats; the dusk bear is a crenellated box. - Fixes: cougar body a step darker (52,34,24)-(182,130,88) plus a darker spine band (torso only); tail radius 0.034 -> 0.05 H; the run's tail at the back line; the rim only on upward-facing fur edges, never legs; cub heads x1.32 and legs x0.88, kitten heads x1.3 with fewer, bolder spots; the bear's profile straightened; bear glyph draws the far legs only from 9 px; stalk neck -20 and scapulae 0.14 H; crouch head down and tail laid along; the ledge cat and deer take the scene's cool sky as haze (depth 0.12), the deer in their grey autumn coat.

# Black bear and cougar: lessons A student's log. Subject: the two big predators of Washington's forests, the **black bear** (boar, sow, yearling, cub; black, brown and cinnamon phases) and the **cougar** (tom, female, subadult, spotted kitten), from a 60 px hero animal down to a 3 px mark, in the landscape view (camera 6-8 deg) and the 30 deg iso view, walking, pacing, running, grazing, sniffing, standing up, sitting, lying, fishing, carrying a salmon and climbing (bear); standing, alert, walking, stalking, trotting, galloping, sitting, lying, crouching and pouncing (cougar); at six hours and four seasons; with cubs and kittens beside their mothers. Everything here is made by the programs in `src/`. Stage images are in `stages/`, parameter sheets and GIFs in `sheets/`, references in `refs/` (licences in each `sources.tsv`), the observation with sources in `notes/observation.md`, the raw working thread in `notes/notebook.md`.One animal is one call:cd src nice -n 10 python3 sheets.py # sheets A-H (~25 min on 4 processes on a loaded laptop) nice -n 10 python3 anim.py # 10 gait GIFs nice -n 10 python3 context.py # rapid, dusk, ledge: the animals in other students' paintings python3 board.py notan|grey|colour|sizes TAG ; python3 valboard.py TAG 60 # the instrumentsGaits and poses: bear `stand walk pace run graze sniff sit stand_up lie fish carry climb alert`; cougar `stand alert walk stalk trot run sit lie crouch pounce`. `phase` in [0, 1) for cycles (and for `fish` <0.5 paw raised / >=0.5 salmon in the mouth; `pounce` 0 launch, 0.5 flight, 1 strike). | module | what it is | |---|---| | `rig.py` | the animals as 3-D tubes: torsos lofted from measured stations, plantigrade and digitigrade legs, the cougar's J-tail, sex/age/season/seed variation, every pose and gait | | `render.py`, `hide.py`, `fringe.py`, `ground.py` | forked from the elk student: splat renderer, index canvas, Ferrari edge rules; mine: black-fur quantisation, the bear's shag, the rim only on top fur | | `coat.py`, `palette.py` | coat regions (muzzle, blaze, cougar underside, spine band, whisker spot, ear backs, tail tip, kitten spots and rings) and ramps per coat and hour | | `micro.py` | the glyph painter below the handoff (bear 10 px, cougar 8 px) | | `family.py` | sow with cubs, female with kittens, and the compositor | | `board.py`, `valboard.py`, `ladder.py`, `handoff.py`, `poses.py`, `headtest.py`, `glyphdbg.py` | the instruments | | `sheets.py`, `anim.py`, `context.py` | the deliverables | --- ## 1. The model system: Seton, standing where Muybridge didn't The elk student stood on Muybridge's plates and the naturalist's four things. For these two animals, Muybridge is half a model: his catalogue (UPenn's 1887 prospectus, `refs/lit/muybridge_catalogue.pdf`) has a domestic cat walking, trotting and galloping (plates 716-720), a lion, lioness, tigress and jaguar walking (721-731) and a raccoon (744-745), and **no bear at all**. Nobody's frame-by-frame bear exists before the biomechanics lab. The system I found and stood on is **Ernest Thompson Seton's**, the naturalist-painter of North American mammals, all of it public domain on archive.org: - ***Studies in the Art Anatomy of Animals* (1896)**, written "for the use of sculptors, painters, illustrators, naturalists and taxidermists". It measures animals the way figure drawing measures people, in head-lengths: *"The Grizzly, Brown and Black Bears go in a square of two heads ... the arch of the back rises considerably above the line"*; *"A Cat goes in a rectangle of 2 1/2 heads in height by 3 1/2 heads in length"*, and the cougar *"in all its proportions and anatomy agrees with the Cat"*; the tail half the total length; the belly at half the shoulder height. Plate XXVII (the proportions of the lion) gives every limb bone as one head. [`refs/lit/seton_plates/`] - ***Lives of Game Animals* (1925-26)**: measured sizes (a Colorado sow: 1613 mm snout to tail tip, tail 127, shoulder 648 mm; cougar toms 2287 mm total, females 1982 with 814 mm of tail), colour ("deep glossy black everywhere, excepting the muzzle, which is more or less brown, and the white patch commonly seen on the breast"; the cougar's "dark spot at the base of the whiskers", dark ear backs, "the tip of the tail nearly black"; kittens spotted to ~6 months), behaviour, and his drawings from life: cougars standing, walking, crouched and lying (pl. X-XV), bears sitting like a person, rearing, climbing, and a page of bear silhouettes in pure notan that is exactly what a small figure should be. I added both, and the felid Muybridge plates, to the studio library README. For gait I stood on the biomechanics: **Shine et al. 2015** (grizzlies walk to 2 m/s, then a *running walk*, then a canter; **no trot**; the forefoot placed medially with a side-to-side waddle) and the SICB black-bear abstract (black bears *pace* at intermediate speed); for the pounce, **Williams et al. 2014** (SMART-collared pumas; pounce force matched to prey, 5-16 g). The observation half for the sim, with every number sourced, is `notes/observation.md`. ## 2. The rig: two kinds of leg  *The first render. The bear already reads as a bear: a deep barrel on short legs gets you most of the way. The cougar has stilts, a horse's head and a tail pooled on the ground.* I forked the elk student's renderer, hide rules and palette machinery and wrote a new rig. What's new is the leg. A leg is a root (the shoulder or hip joint) → the upper bone → an IK joint (the elbow bends back, the knee forward) → the lower bone → the wrist or ankle → the metapodial **at a pose-given angle** → the digits. The stance angle of the metapodial *is* the species: - the bear is **plantigrade**: the hind metapodial lies flat on the ground (84° from vertical), the heel down, the forepaws turned in 18° (pigeon toes); in the walk the heel peels up late in stance and the forepaw flips palm-up in the swing; - the cougar is **digitigrade**: it stands on its toes, the metatarsus sloping at 28°, the hock high behind; the forearm vertical under the elbow. The cougar's tail is a 14-station chain: from the croup at a root angle, falling toward vertical by a `droop`, its last 40% curling back and up by a `lift`. I tune it by printing its lowest point and tip height in shoulder heights, not by eye (standing: lowest 0.21 H, tip 0.31 H). ## 3. The board `board.py` is the elk student's instrument: photo | mine at 150 px shoulder, same ground row, first in notan. The references: the Whistler black bear walking (GoToVan, CC BY), **Seton's cougar standing and walking, drawn from life** (pl. XII, XIII: a drawn reference is as good as a photo on this board, often better, because Seton drew the side view on purpose), and ODFW's walking Oregon cougar (camera ~25° up; the board scales the withers row by 1/cos).   *b1 and b3, four runs apart. What changed, in order:* 1. **The cougar's legs.** Too short, the forearm slanting forward, because I'd put the paw ahead of the shoulder joint. Printing the joints showed it. Seton's cat stands with its forearm vertical under the elbow and the belly at half the shoulder height (the canon). Torso raised, the croup 0.08 H above the withers (pl. XII shows ~0.1). 2. **The cougar's head.** A horse's: 0.37 H long with a long muzzle. Now 0.28 H, the muzzle a quarter of it, round skull. 3. **The bear's head.** Too long and horizontal, with spike ears. And the walking bear's head was STILL horizontal after I fixed the standing carriage, because the walk table overrode it; the photo carries the nose at ~0.42 H, below the back line. 4. **The bear's belly** down to 0.30 H: the Whistler bear's legs are short columns under a deep barrel. 5. **The cougar's tail**: thinner, swung back; later, a lot more on the tail (§6).  *The grey board after those fixes. The cougar's thigh and flank still came out as separate tubes; I added a flank fold (skin from belly to stifle) so the belly line flows into the knee.* ## 4. At size, and the black-fur problem  *sizes_b5: photo and drawings area-reduced to 60, 30, 16, 8 px nose to rump | mine. The bear is a GREY bear.* The elk's palette walks every ramp from an ambient-tinted dark to a sun-tinted light, which lifts the darks 30% toward the sky. On tan hide that's lovely. On a black bear it lifts black to 40/255 and the bear is grey. Worse, the lit family spans three steps, so the flank shows lit planes a black bear doesn't have. The fixes, which together are how I'd paint black fur: - **the ambient pull on black fur is cut to a quarter**: the sky tints only the sheen, never the darks; - **the value field is compressed and steepened**: most of the bear sits in the bottom two steps; only surfaces facing up and toward the sun climb into a narrow blue-grey sheen along the back and the top of the head; - **no dither on black fur** except in the sheen band, where it breaks into hair dashes; - the one warm mark is the **brown muzzle**, which at 6 px and below becomes one pixel: it's the pixel that says which way the bear faces.  *The value board (`valboard.py`, the instrument the elk student named as its next): photo at 60 px, its 6-step value map, mine, mine's map. The bear photo is one value with a sheen on the back only; at this stage mine had four lit planes, and the cougar was near-white, both corrected after this image (final board below).* ## 5. Small: two painters, two handoffs  *The first ladder, 60 px to 4 px, landscape and iso. The bears held up at every size; the cougar dissolved below 16 px into a tan tent, the same value as the grass.* The glyph painter (`micro.py`) follows the elk student's rules (body mass per column, legs as clean runs, a head pixel up or down) with the species' own marks: for the bear, a deep mass (0.62 H in rows), a head lower than the back, round ear ticks, the muzzle pixel, no tail; for the cougar, a shallow mass on long legs, a pale belly row, the croup a row high, and **the tail drawn at every size down to 4 px, its tip an up-tick one row above the tail's lowest pixel**, dark (a flat dark dot on the ground read as a hoof). Printing the glyph as characters found two bugs: the lofted torso runs rear→front (loft sorts by x), so "front" was the rump; and the cougar glyph was drawn in steps 2-3 of tawny, which is the grass's value.  *The handoff study: renderer | glyph, pair by pair, at 14, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 px. For the bear the glyph is the cleaner lump from 10 px down; for the cougar the renderer keeps the mass and the tail's curl down to 8 px while the glyph is a stick figure above that. So the handoff is per species: bear 10, cougar 8.* ## 6. Two cold critics **Round 1** (after the first colour ladder and pose sheet). The bear reads at every size, "a black lump" at 12-6 px ("protect it"); the cougar fails from mid size down ("a tan fox or fawn"). Ranked: the tail is a rope to the ground with the black tip "like a hoof"; the legs spindly (Seton draws thick forearms and paws wider than the wrist); ears like posts; hard seams at the joints ("armour plates": the internal masses drawing their own terminators); the bear's back two blobs (the scapula bulging above the back); too much daylight under the bear; poses: the rearing bear "a man in a black coat", the lying bear "a rug", the climbing bear "a bag stuck to a capsule", the salmon a speck, the cat's run "a rocking horse", the pounce's flight "an otter".   *Pose sheets before round 1 and after it: the tail's lowest point off the ground and its tip curled; forearms and paws 30% heavier; the rearing bear slouched at 64° with its belly out and forepaws limp in front; the climb re-solved with paw targets in body coordinates and a trunk; the pounce rebuilt as three keyframes (launch, flight, strike); a salmon 0.85 H long held crosswise.* Then **Muybridge's plates**, which I'd been unable to fetch all afternoon (Commons returned 429 to every laptop request; a Modal container fetched them in minutes). Plate 720, the cat galloping in 24 frames, showed what the critic's "rocking horse" meant: my cat was stilted with a splayed stride and a stick tail; **Muybridge's cat stays low through the whole gallop, its legs bunched under an arched back in the gathered frames, the tail streaming back**. Stride down to 0.95 H, lifts to 0.22, the body 0.07 H lower. **Round 2** (after all the sheets). The bear holds; the cougar is still too **light in value** (its value maps near-white where the photos and Seton's drawings are mid-value with a darker back and tail); the tail still under-drawn; the back-light rim ran round the whole body like a sticker border; cubs and kittens were scaled-down adults; the bear's muzzle hooked like a beak; the walking bear glyph at 5-8 px was "a comb". Fixes: the cougar a full step darker with a darker spine band; the tail radius up by half; the rim only on upward-facing fur, never legs; cub and kitten heads 1.3×, cub legs shorter, kitten spots fewer and bolder; a straight bear profile; the bear glyph draws its far legs only from 9 px. The heads needed their own instrument (`headtest.py`): the cougar's face first read as a sheep (a big pink nose disc, the eye far back, a dark blob on the cheek that was the spine-band rule leaking onto the head).  ## 7. The final board     *The final rig against the references: notan, colour, the size rows (60, 30, 16, 8 px) and the value board.* ## 8. The sheets - `sheets/A1_bear_x_pose.png`, `A2_cougar_x_pose.png`: every pose and gait for boar, sow, cub; tom, female, kitten. - `sheets/B_individual_x_size.png`: 60 → 3 px, landscape and iso. - `sheets/C_individual_x_facing.png`: 12 yaws, landscape and iso. - `sheets/D_individual_x_hour.png`: dawn to overcast; golden and dusk back-lit. - `sheets/E_colour_season_age.png`: black and cinnamon bears, cubs, yearlings through spring, summer and autumn (no winter bear: they den), autumn bears heavier; cougars by season, spotted kittens. - `sheets/F_gait_cycles.png`: bear walk, pace, gallop; cougar walk, stalk, gallop, pounce, in 8 phases. - `sheets/G_families.png`: a sow with cubs grazing, in file, treed with the sow at the base; a female with kittens following and at rest; at true relative scale. - `sheets/H_small_figures.png`: every pose from 12 to 3 px. - `sheets/anim/*.gif`: bear walk, pace, run, climb; cougar walk, stalk, run, pounce; iso walks at 16 px.     ## 9. In other students' paintings  *Black bears on the water student's Skykomish rapid at golden hour (native 320×200 at 13 px/m, camera 30°, the sun front-left at 14°): a boar fishing from the big boulder above the white-water sill with a chum jumping below him, a sow carrying a salmon up the cobble bar toward the forest, her cub of the year behind. The naturalist's November: "salmon (in the Skokomish, fall chum in November)"; bears "carry carcasses 10-100+ m from the stream".*  *The naturalist's sighting, "a long pale shape crossing a road or gravel bar at dusk with a low, flowing walk, head below the shoulder line, tail swinging", on the channel student's dusk gravel bar (the elk student's context painting, with its scale read off the gravel), and a bear leaving the water with a chum. Back-lit.*  *A cougar crouched on a boulder above three blacktails on the talus: the rock student's granite boulder field (its own render), the deer painted by the elk student's code. The cat and the deer take the scene's cool sky as haze.* ## 10. For the sim programmer (the observation, short) Full tables and sources: `notes/observation.md`. | | black bear | cougar | |---|---|---| | mass | boar 90-140 kg, sow 50-80; +30% by late autumn | tom 55-75 kg, female 35-50 | | shoulder H | sow ~0.65-0.72 m, boar ~0.85-0.94 | 0.66-0.72 m | | nose-tail root | 1.2-1.8 m | female ~1.17 m, tom ~1.45 | | tail | 8-13 cm, hidden | 0.8 m, carried low, tip curled up | | walk | lateral sequence, pigeon-toed, plantigrade, head low and swinging; ~1.1-2 m/s | lateral sequence, direct register, head at or below the withers | | middle gait | PACE (no trot) | walk; trot rare | | fast | canter, gallop, ~50 km/h in bursts | a few bounds, 60+ km/h for seconds; chases rarely > 50-100 m | | signature behaviours | grazing like a cow; sniffing meadows for June calves; standing up to smell; sitting; climbing (cubs up a tree, sow below); fishing, carrying salmon into the forest | walking ridges at night; stalk belly-low to 10-20 m, crouch, pounce; caches kills under raked duff, feeds 3-5 days; lying on ledges | | young | 1-3 cubs, born Jan, out in Apr, with the sow ~16 months | 1-4 kittens, spotted and ring-tailed to ~6 months, with the mother 12-18 months | | colour | black, brown muzzle, sometimes a white chest blaze; brown/cinnamon occasional west of the Cascades | tawny, cream underside, lips, chin; black whisker spot, dark ear backs, black tail tip; westside cats darker | For the renderer lane (lane-port-animals): the drawing method's parameters are the species tables at the top of `rig.py` (torso stations, neck/head/ear dimensions, limb lengths and radii, stance metapodial angles, tail chain), the gait tables in `rig.gait_pose` (offsets, duty, stride, lifts, bob, head carriage), the coat regions in `coat.py`, the ramps in `palette.py`, and the handoff table `paint.MICRO_S = {"bear": 10, "cougar": 8}`. ## 11. What I'd tell myself at the start - **Find the naturalist-painter.** For species Muybridge never photographed, Seton is the system: head-length canons, measured tables, colour notes and drawings from life, all free. His side-view cougar drawn from life was a better board reference than any zoo photo. - **Black fur is its own material.** The standard hide ramp and value field make a grey bear. Keep the darks unlifted, compress the lit family into a narrow sheen on the back, and let one warm pixel (the muzzle) carry the facing. - **A tail is a measured curve, not a tube.** Print its lowest point and tip height. The cougar's whole identity at 6-12 px is that curve and its dark tip. - **Handoffs are per species.** The bear's glyph wins early (it's a lump); the cougar's renderer wins late (its read is a curve the glyph flattens). - **Fetch through someone else's IP.** Wikimedia rate-limited the laptop all afternoon; a Modal container fetched Muybridge in minutes. I should have done it at the first 429. ## 12. Where it stops (honest) - **The cougar at 5-3 px** is a tawny smudge on grass; the naturalist says it is "practically invisible" at a kilometre, which is true, but it isn't yet a *mark*. The tail up-tick survives to 4 px; below that, nothing says cat. - **The cougar's hero-size surface** is still smoother and more tubular than Seton's drawings, which are all muscle masses (shoulder, ribs, the huge thigh) with the loose skin of the flank. The elk student hit the same wall; the fix is separate masses per plane in the rig, not more dither. - **Head-on and tail-on views (C, yaw ±90)** of both animals are narrow posts with weak heads. - **The climbing bear** is a lump against a column: no limb reads as wrapping the trunk; Seton's "corkscrew" bounds aren't animated. - **The pounce's flight frame** still leans toward a weasel; the fish in the bear's jaws is a two-tone mark rather than a chum. - **Tom vs female, boar vs sow** differ mainly in size (visible in G at true scale); at a fixed sheet size they look alike, as they nearly do in life. - **The Commons bear photo set** (482 selected files) never arrived: Modal's container hit its 50-minute timeout at the polite rate; a 70-file retry was started. The bear board used the naturalist's photos and the Openverse fetches instead.import rig, paint from render import View ind = rig.Individual("cougar", "f", "adult", season="autumn", seed=2) # species, sex, age, season, seed # bear extras: phase_colour="black"|"brown"|"cinnamon"; young: months=4 R, tubes, k = paint.paint_index(ind, gait="stalk", phase=0.3, # see the gait list below view=View(yaw=-14, elev=8, sun_az=-150, sun_el=30, diffuse=0), size_px=48) # nose to tail root, px # or k=... pixels per metre for true relative scale (herds, families, scenes) rgb = paint.colour(R, ind, hour="golden", ground="autumn", depth=0.0) # the palette is the light
