i think it is amazing as Harry was done....the mane options is what most appeal to me and the textures are great...the little foal has a beautiful baby face...and all the morph option i seen in this thread great....perhaps someday i could get him :)

I am starting work on converting all Harry textures to Poser 11 Superfly and DS iRay.
Here is a WIP of Harry in Superfly. I am totally redoing the eye maps/shaders etc. now I have the right UVs for them:) This is a LOW RES image! Wait til you see a higher res one:) I am very excited about how good Harry is going to look in Superfly and iRay when I get done:)

Will these new eye maps have no baked in reflections? I love the rest of the maps, but I've been stealing Dusk's brown eyes to avoid the baked in reflection. :)

Interesting. I forgot about this WIP. Been a long time since I visited here. What I would love is a morph set that would allow us to do this transformation vial dials to say animate or illustrate a story. Very cool how you did these changes.

Interesting concept. What would you like to illustrate with the animation dials? What would you like them to do?

Yes- back when we first put out Harry 2 years ago there was a minor but critical UV deal so that I couldn't do it any other way at the time. I am planning on updating the 3Delight and Firefly MATs too for the eye and will have that included along with the Superfly and iRay free updates for Harry. Aiming to get that all together in March.

That's one gorgeous render for a low res. I look forward to seeing a hi res version in SuperFly. ;)

Will the other horse breeds and the Unicorn also get these updated textures?

Yes- sorry- I had thought I had said that yes I will updating every single Harry product to Superfly and iRay as I can. I am starting with "Base" Harry for many reasons. It WILL take some time to do them all so please be patient! :) I will likely do them in the order of their initial release but don't hold me to that- It may end up making more sense to do a "related" coats order as I go. I am not 100% sure yet on what the order of updating will be and it will likely take a few months to get them all done. I am still learning all this as I go :)

Thanks Laurie. This is a big undertaking, and we'll be thrilled when we can get our hands on them. ;)
