Coming along nicely. The Unicorn has adjustable hair props for the mane, beard and fetlocks. I also replaced the original tail with a similar tail prop. The horn can be sized and/or removed as well - as can any of the other props (except the tail). IK does not seem to work right so I leave it turned off for the arms and legs and the figure poses okay. I need to remove the unused texture/materials for the figure from the Cr2 file but am not sure how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? In addition, I would like to post this figure to free stuff when done, but I will need someone to host the file for me as my website can not handle the bandwidth. Anyone interested? Also, before I post this figure I want to make sure that it is okay to do so. The figure was built (and I use that term loosely) in Poser by morphing the stock Poser horse and long curls and spawning the parts I needed. I used morphs by Bloodsong and Lyne to shape the Horse, and then spawned the final figure, does this present a problem in my posting the figure as a Cr2 file? Someone please advise. The only other thing missing is a good texture for the unicorn, and it should be ready to go. Rob

That looks really nice! Good job! I can probably host it for you. Marque

Shadownet, in order to remove textures make sure you have none applied to all and resave the cr2 (if you want in another folder) so that the cr2 you give will not ask for anything. The textures Poser asks for are only the ones which have been saved with a particular figure or prop. You could edit the cr2 to get rid of the textures but for anyone uneasy with that, I've found the previous method works best.

Thanks Jon. I tinkered around with editing the Cr2 file and figured out what I needed to do to remove the unwanted materials. What you suggested is great, and worked well for saving the figure clean, so that it did not call for any textures when loaded. However, I also had old listing showing unused material settings for the figure that were left over as a result of one or more props being spawned to make a new prop and I needed to get rid of these settings as well. The only way I found to remove these materials was to edit the Cr2 file. Jafo, glad to here it. Really want this to turn out right. Marque thanks for the comments and your offer to host the file. Uthena also offered to host the file, and will make a texture for the unicorn as soon as I get if finished and sent off to her. Again, my thanks to everyone who helped me out along the way. I am still not clear as to what can and can not be posted but have heard no objections to this figure being as a Cr2 file. Hope to hear back shortly on an email I sent to Bloodsong about the morphs I used in making the figure. Rob

I've made my own Unicorn, but I also like this one really, really well. I will be looking for it for download and hope that it is soon!

In the final stages now. Finished the Cr2 and zipped it off to Uthena who has offered to make a texture and host the file for download. Hopefully the email got through, I have not heard back as yet and have had some minor problems with my email. Uthena, if you read this and did not get the email I sent, please let me know. Rob

Can't wait to see it! Marque

Uthena is working on the texture, and will post the unicorn when finished. Can't have any naked unicorns running about, now can we! Rob
