WIP HiveWire Dragon Begins

I seem to recall a carousel from Dreamland Models over on Rendo. I even think I remember it being a freebie.

It was a smaller, simpler sort than the DAZ carousel. The horses didn't go up and down if I recall it correctly (I have it, so I probably ought to dig it out and do a test render. Give me a while...)

Dragons are pure magic! They don't need huge wings to be able to fly :wink:

Eastern dragons don't usually have any wings.



I find the Mil Dragon 2's wings to be very difficult to deal with because of their size. So, smaller wing options would be fabulous.

Working on wings more tonight. Added in finger spine coming off the elbow. Still more to do on the shoulder blending and working over the thumb to look more like that of a bat, or... I mean Dragon.

Lyne, I believe it was you that preferred the upper arm of the wing to be shorter, so I shortened it up in comparison to the forearm.

You know in the movies those fingered spines act like hands. Be cool to have little bones to move and hook things with them! I know, I'll shut up now! NEVER! :p:D:p

That's really nice, with the ticket booth, fence and table. Not sure how the "cars" could be switched out for horses (unless maybe the rocking horse) or dragons, but it looks well made.

Dreamland Models does gorgeous work. It's Poser specific, although the geometry goes into Studio readily enough. Some of the earlier stuff has something off about the scale. The 19th century schoolhouse is where I got the desks for the Hogwarts classrooms, but I had to bring them down to about 30% before I could use them with DAZ figures. Most of his trains were done for Vue, and most of the early products also came in Vue versions, so maybe that's where his scale is from.

If it's anything like the DAZ carousel (and I haven't checked) the cars are their own matt zone so basically one would turn them off, or go at it in the geometry editor to delete them.

Could I request an option for plates or spines on his back? Please?
