overall, that image is what i was expecting when they released it. i think the mane looks great. though i'll also admit a bias, since i'm pretty into painting hair, so i tend towards either falls nicely or i break out a reference and a custom Photoshop brush.
i remember how it became a debate for a while, and some people kept saying we were being purists. i think it got lost that someone got their work turned down because they used the millenium horse and the publisher said it didn't look good enough. to me, that should have been when DAZ realized they absolutely needed to change it. ah well. i keep hoping someone else with better animal skills will take on a new horse. and they've hired etujedi, who made the griffin, to help make better animals. so there is some hope.
