Gorgeous work Laurie. Love those eyes too. So juicy!

LOL Juicy eyes??? Good thing I can hear you saying it because if someone else just wrote that I'd be saying "ewwwwwwwwwwwww" :p

More work in Superfly. Dapple Grey WIP conversion along with the white version of the Classic Tack- the Classic Tack here is using the current Firefly MATs- work great in SF:) I might make some minor changes to the black leather in the black version; still playing with that. This is a super simple render- one basic infinite light and that's it! I am really starting to dig Superfly.

Stunning!!! Almost makes me want to upgrade... but nooo have to stick with PP 2014... but hey... um...

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.

if I read this right, there will be an update for FIREFLY in PPro 2014 for the eyes? I love how 'liquid' his eyes look but not sure if we "lower version poser users can have them"? (I have NO idea how those things work between P11 and P2014)

Yes there will also be p9+ Firefly updates- mainly the eyes- new map using the correct UV and new MAT for the eyes.

Base Harry WIP in Superfly... and iRay! (takes fooooorever to render in iRay so just the one for now)
Getting there! I pulled in an old friend who is an incredible artist and a Studio wizard so she will be assessing the iRay MATs for me. She hasn't seen this yet- I am still tweaking before I send on to her to review.

Have a great weekend everyone! I'm going to take it off and play with my ponies now the weather is finally getting nice!

I love Harry and he is on my wishlist! He reminds me of a Breyer model horse called Huckleberry Bey based on a real Arabian show horse. I own Daz's mil horse, because I got him cheap. lol
Now if I could model and paint animals like that. I have done some furniture so far. LOL
All the animals are looking great! I have seen some pretty scary ones out there in 3D land.
The bovines are nice too. I own a farm, one fleabitten Arabian, about 15 head of black angus beef cattle, and several chickens. :)
