OK, I modelled a new CR2 for the DAZ Millennium Dragon (yeah it WAS hard work). It has three new full-body morph dials, BabyFeet, BabyHead and BabyWings. BabyHead gives him a bigger head, BabyFeet gives him bigger feet (Duh) and BabyWings gives him smaller wings, about 40% of the original size.

Before anyone asks I can't distribute it because the new CR2 was just the DAZ one with my additions, and of course it contains DAZ copyright material in the form of their morphs. When the job is finished I'll contact DAZ and see if they will make it available as a free add-on to those who have bought the Millennium dragon.

There are problems with the new wings, they no longer pose properly using some of the joints, as I haven't yet finished reworking the joint parameters, and the new head only works with the "Smooth Jaw" morph applied along with a couple more that I can't remember. However, carefully posed the new baby looks pretty irresistible I think. I am working on my first image using this character and thought folk might enjoy seeing it develop. If you're interested just reply saying so and I'll continue to post here as things progress, showing how I put it all together.

This is a straight export from Poser 4, rendered in Bryce 5 with material settings on the dragons tweaked. The eggs use a Bryce material in world space to keep the scale of the spots constant.
