Uh, what is a pz3 doing in the new Breeds- Thoroughbred doing in characters? I NEVER open a pz3 file in my own poser, as my poser interface is set up 'just so'... were we supposed to get a cr2 - a character or were these files to go into scene? For now, just hope there is an INJ... let me check... ok, got the pz2 INJ and the MC6 in materials...so all set. Just might want to put the pz3 in the right library? Thanks... LOVE the new breed and coat is utterly gorgeous, Laurie! :)

ACK! BRAIN GLITCH???... those ARE pz3's in my Character-breeds....this is weird! How could I never notice that before... poser must work differently since my move to 2014 and I never noticed?!?! do dooo do dooo twilight zone!?

sorry to bother but thought I'd leave this post and maybe someone can straighten my brain out? ;)

Huh... not sure- that's not my end of things:) Maybe Alisa or Paul will know? I did just look myself and ALL the Breed Characters are pz3 files. So are the Foal Load All and Unicorn Load All...

I think possibly it's set up that way because you not only have the horse body, but also the mane and tail which are separate entities from the horse body. Might be easier to load it as a scene than each one individually ?

I think that is it, NA-not only does the Horse have to load - so does the breed morph and the breed morphed tail and mane . all textures and so on. One can totally do it by hand as well using the INJs. Just a lot faster to load what one needs though, especially in the case of the Unicorn!:)

So getting a lot closer on the wings for Harry. Was wanting to add some translucency to the wings. Had to muck around a lot to sort it out a bit as there are areas in the wing that didn't look good with the translucency. So aiming to have the base Wings for base Bay Harry, and also soon after, the Superfly and IRay updates for the Unicorn and Friesian and their matching wings in all 4 render engines. Then pick away at all the older set updates and new wings as I can. Many are WIP/pretty far along.

Still tweaking maps on these so these are WIP renders.

So here is our Unicorn with his wings in Superfly:

and in DS Iray:

Gorgeous, Laurie!

Yes, NA & Laurie are correct-it needs to be a pz3 to load everything in Poser. Less confusing, in a way, in DS, as every file is a .duf one ;)

Um... the wings are attached at the neck? I will get them of course, and assume one could place them at the wither/shoulders... so not a criticism... just asking... I LOVE your (and Ken's) wing work!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Lyne

No they are at the shoulder- I think the pose shown in my previous post is "throwing you off". Here are some quick screen grabs to show the attachment better. They are basically the same as the wings Ken and I did for the old Mil Horse- but have been updated to better/higher res, new textures and of course a perfect fit for Harry:)
