Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 22 10:18 pm)
Hi everyone :-) I've not been keeping up with the 3d community lately (just getting over pneumonia) so this horse purely by accident after viewing this thread and went over and bought him straight away.
I've spent a few hours playing around with him and love what they have done with him, especially how they have rigged the hair controls into the base figure. One thing I've not been able to find are the controls for the fantastic hair movements displayed on their forum thread (as a new member I can't post on there) but don't know if I'm missing them or they didn't make it clear that they are a seperate item?
This is how the Daz Horse 2 should have been, the expressions are very realistic and the inculded morphs allow a lot of variability out of the box (see image above created from a few dial twists and scaling.)
So far I've only used him in Daz Studio and am working on a pony morph which I've adjusted the rig to but the mane isn't following the rig adjustments, not sure if my foggy brain is missing a step there? Anyway here is what I've done so far:
I'm in the middle of writing an in depth review on my website but won't finish it for a couple of days until I've tried him out in Poser and Carrara.
Just wanted to update with another render of one of the pony :-)

These renders are beautiful.
I read on your site someone thanking you for the zebra tail for the milhorse. I was hoping to find it somewhere there but could not do so.
Is this something not available any longer or available elsewhere...free....purchase item?
I have been using the P4 horse forever. Only recently switched over to the MilHorse (1) and love it. I would like to get the MilHorse (2) but can't use it in Poser 7 and it looks like the HiveWire horse is also going to be nonuseable for me for now. What I an cruious about is the renders of the P4 horse on yhor freebies section. The tails look better than they do in my renders, less faceted and better strands do appear nicer than mine.
I have a trans-map for the tail I got with a hi-res texture set from DAZ but it makes the tail look shorter and lengthening it to work makes the bends look awful. Do your free txtures add anything to this problem and the morphs...do they also add more functionality to the old P4 Nag?
Also, I got Ali's Cindy Centauress which is a pretty nice self contained figure. THough not as realisticly shaped as the MilHorse or the HiveWire horse nonetheless quite useful.
I am looking for fetlock hair for it. I have begged Ali to add more stuff for it and make some adjustments and though he has been pretty cooperative with adjustments is too busy to do much now. I have been trying to find fetlock har or feathers for it but no luch. Does this Hiv Wire Horse have seperate fetlock hair/feathers?

Thank you :-) I haven't seen that about a zebra tail? I haven't done one but maybe they were muddled up with the free donkey textures I made for the old (not milhorse) daz zebra model, I included a trans map for the tail that could also be used with the origional zebra texture.

You could use it with Daz Studio Pro, it's still free at the moment, I use it almost exclusively now, I open Poser occasionally but get fustrated with the interface, shame as I think it still produces crisper renders.

The above images of the p4 horse are from my free downloads section, they both come with my tail trans map that I use for my own renders but not the mane which was another unfinished project.. You can download them and others here, the easy poser horse has some of my morphs, textures and trans maps, eyeball props and easy pose dials to control the neck and tail included.

I've not seen the centauress yet, the new HW3D horse does have seperate fetlocks, much more realistic than the MilHorse's too :-)
This is a link to Ali's Cindy Centauress:

This is a render I did quick and dirty after he redid the updates i asked for. She does not come with the props but I wanted to show what could be done with her. She needs btter texturing and more morphs etc but out of the box she is pretty functional.
That's a really cool figure, will have to add her to my runtime one day :-) Is it a whole figure or a composite?

Hi, Ladyfyre -
First, hope you're feeling better - please take care, pneumonia's nothing to mess with!
Glad you're enjoying the Horse!
Basic controls for the mane, tail & fetlocks are in the BODY of the horse in the Parameter tab under Actor. Bones can of course be adjusted in the mane, tail, or fetlocks figures as well. There's no separate item needed :)
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

She is a complete figure and the human body portion is loosely based on either his first or second version of Angela though the morph packs he has for them do NOT work on the Centauress which is really too bad.
She really is a nicely made figure but desperately needs support in the community. Everywhere i've shown work with her I have gotten positive feedback so the interesrt is there. He does wondrful hair sold here, but doesn't market his figures. Has a great complete Naga on his sight which also has potential but no support.
Saw that toon horse and would love to get it but it is for Poser9+ and I don't have it installed so the expenditure is not a good toime for. Been taking advantage of the sales at DAZ and here in Renderosity for VAL's stuff and other long desired items in my wishlist.
Guess it'll have to wait. Besides i don't mind the MilHorse 1 which is working great for in Poser 7.

That's useful.
I'm only using the tail though at the moment.
