How The Hivewire Horse (harry) Came To Be.

I think the Shetland is an amazing lil' fella. Laurie has a great new map for him too.

It's all in Paul's hands right now, then back to Laurie for more candy coated goodness.

So I've been messing some more with the fetlocks trans. These 3 options will come with Whisper - full, back long and full, and back short- much like one would see on a Mustang or my Morgans:)
I am showing them here in the default laid down pose and a blown back pose.

Laurie, those look great! The short ones remind me of some that I've seen on foals, too. Either way, I'm really liking these - I think they're looking very nice!

Nice Laurie! I think I like the first and third ones best for possible use with the Unicorn. The other ones are just perfect for Whisper!!

Yeah, Seliah they do remind me of that too!

Hey Lyne

Yes one will be able to use any of the Whisper maps/MATs on ANY Harry product. The only caveat say for using any of the Whisper fetlocks trans on say for example, the base bay black fetlocks is one would have to manually apply a Whisper fetlock trans map to the black fetlocks. The same holds true for the new wispier mane and tail trans maps I made for Whisper too. Not hard to do at all. I could post a blog on my site to show folks how to do that don't know how- I know YOU know how to:)

Hi all. :)

I am new to the HiveWire community, but have been looking and watching the site for new items for quite some time now. Your "Harry" caught my eye and convinced me to finally jump in, although it took me over a year to come up with the funds to purchase bundle #1. I finally managed it a couple of days ago, and I am thrilled with him. So gorgeous, and majestic! The pose possibilities are exciting and I can visualize creating many works containing him.
And thank you for all of the beautiful breeds,especially the Friesian and the Percheron (Warhorses have always been favorites of mine)! I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful I think Harry is, and I am looking forward to all of the other animals that you are working on creating. I can say with a great amount of confidence that I will be purchasing these too when they become available.
I have a couple of questions, and I hope I do not seem too forward in asking them, and if so, my apologies:unsure::
I (along with some friends) write ongoing stories, fan-fiction and such in the fantasy genre; mostly for the amusement of ourselves and a few others (for now, as we are using this as a way to sharpen our story-telling skills for something bigger later?). I "illustrate" mine using 3D art, and therefore have to crank out quite a bit of it :D. I am not sure who does the poses for Harry, but thank you for them! As I am ALWAYS in a rush to get a project finished, pre-made poses are a great help to me.
As not every piece calls for heroic and powerful looking stances, and much of my stories are of "everyday" life (if there is such a thing in fantasy stories:laugh:), I was wondering if there was a possibility of some "everyday" poses for Harry? Different walking, standing and grazing poses, or perhaps some of Harry interacting with other Harrys, as I often do groups of people and their mounts (up to around 20 of them!).
Also, since Daz has come out with Iray, are there any plans to optimize him for it?

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I appreciate it greatly:)

Hi Gilraen! And welcome to the Hive!!!:bee:

So Glad you're enjoying "Harry"!!

Nope, asking questions as nicely as you are is never being forward :)

What fun!!That's a great suggestion. You might want to post this request here:

Iray and Superfly (for Poser) settings are on the "to do list" but I can't give a date for them, unfortunately.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I appreciate it greatly:)

You're very welcome and have fun!!!​
