I too add my welcome Gilraen. Glad to see you jump in!

We're very glad you're enjoying our Harry. We've worked hard to make him a superior model right out of the gate. We maintain that our Dawn, Dusk and Baby Luna are solid models. Our hope is that our other figures and animals to come will be well received.

We do have quite a bit on our product plates for this year. Many animals will see the light of day, and characters and such. We'll do our best to get products set up for Iray and for Superfly as well. We just need to fit it in. Stay with us will ya?

Well not very good, but not too bad for a first effort at trying to do Poser Hair Room for Harry:) Did this in about 3 hours and didn't mess with randomness yet. Still just used the regular transmapped mane and tail for now and didn't finish the far side legs. Definitely going to grab LAMH this week as that looks much more intuitive to use and has the ability to work over the entire figure instead of each body part like Poser. The head, lower jaw and ears are giving me fits in the Poser Hair Room.

I'll say. Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear . . . oh wait, Harry's a horse.

Never mind, I'm just being silly. :D

Thanks Seliah! It's a start. I am thinking I am going to really dig LAMH though:) I did notice the Poser Hair Room frankly hasn't changed all that much since I messed with it like 10 years ago. I really do hope Smith Micro gets it together and helps Allesandro and Kendall make LAMH work for Poser too. I am going to try the Fiber Mesh export deal for Poser and see how that works. I did see where they said it does work but isn't ideal.

It was just the first thing that popped into my head when I saw it. ;)

LOL!! ya.... I was thinking he looks like one of those fuzzy horse statues one can buy in a souvenir shop... :)

I'm not a DS person, never will be... kinda don't care for it's hair room... to me the hair still needs "post" brushing to REALLY look like hair...

STILL there has to be a way to at least get hair when really needed... like on the Silverback gorilla's head and limbs... or med. to long hair DOGS.... TINY'S long hair cat REALLY works I must say... but I know it took her MONTHS and many tries to achieve....

Very cool Laurie!

You got a lot further than I did when I attempted Poser hair on the Mil Dog ages ago.

I hope too that the Hair room gets some loving from Smith Micro one of these days.

Oh, yeah..that's the truth. I was a beta tester on that way back when and was having serious problems getting it to work with whatever version of Poser I was using at that time...

Haven't seen her for awhile - hope all's ok. She did sign up on the forums here but hasn't posted yet.

I know Tiny works VERY HARD and also deals with a lot in her personal life that takes a toll... she is SUCH a sweetie, I too hope she's ok.... she'll probably pop in and give us an update sometime...

Thanks! Still early days for sure and not even sure it will be workable but I did try that "flocked" look on Thistle for grins and there I am digging it!

You know, it makes me think of a toy horse, so I'm wondering how it would look on the Rocking Horse. ;)

Def a thought though I was going more for the carved carnival horse type of look for the Rocking Horse.
