Solved HiveWire Horse tail morphs missing?

Within Poser, Harry has tail morphs that I cannot find an equivalent for within Daz Studio (loading the DS-specific files). In Poser, the morphs are located in the Body-Tail area of the dials, and are named TailCrimpAll, TailLengthAll, TailLengthLower, TailLengthUpper, TailThickness and TailWidth.

Am I missing something, or do these morphs not exist for DS? It's probably the former, I know pretty much zero about using DS!

Did you look at the horse or the tail? I have a render running at the moment but I can check for you when it has finished...that's if I'm still up. 20 mins left til midnight...

With the Horse selected you will find them under Actor>Tail/Mane

The mane has crimp morphs (I haven't gone through the comlete list comparing the two programs to see if they are all exactly the same), but in my DS the tail is missing all the morphs I listed. Here's a couple of screenshots to show what I'm seeing:

Here's Poser's dials with the morph dials circled:

And here's DS with the morph dial locations indicated, but no morph dials:

Just for further info, I downloaded the DS horse files on December 15th 2016. Will try downloading and re-installing again now.

Okay, so I tried a re-install without any change, but then when I filtered by name for the dials I couldn't see, they appeared. So, it's working now, but I have no idea why the dials did not display the first time! If you can't see a dial, try using the filter, I guess!

You need to look under the parameter tab NOT the posing one in DS. confuse s the heck out of me too at first.

Oh, geez, Daio - you got it!!

I didn't even think of that. I don't ever even use the Posing tab - always the Parameters

In Posing I was finding most of the dials, just without those specific ones- and those I could see seemed to work. However I now have no Posing tab at all. The Posing tab has vanished. By the sounds of it I don't need it anyway?

No, you don't, for HW stuff - not so with other products. But that's weird.

I don't think I even knew there was a Posing Tab all the years I used DS. I just opened my DS 4, and there it is listed in the Window > Tabs menu. That didn't exist in DS 2 or DS 3.

I seem to be working now, everything needed located (even if the pose tab is still missing), and therefore, for all those who dropped by to offer help, a great, big:

Awww, so cute!!

Thanks! Glad it worked out :)

Very cute! I'm glad you were able to sort it out. I never use the Posing tab...to be honest I'd forgotten it was there. I always use parameters but then I don't normally create poses from scratch.
