This all started with a morph from Dawn? (Mind Blown!!) There is a whole lotta' awesome on this thread. I really dig how great the anatomy of the muscles comes through. The bull and cow are impressive too. Your grasp of these animals anatomical structure is pretty awesome.

Oh... so how about this stuff? This is work from Paul/CGCubed showing his work on actually going into the mane and posing each sheet of mane geometry (that again, is available for all to do, it just takes patience to pose them). Sweet looking stuff can be done with the mane. Try posing the mane from the Horse group, then go into the mane and nuance to get a specific look.

I just spent three hours just trying to get the mane to lay down a little bit...whew a lot of work there... but looks well worth it!

Carey - the controls for the mane are in the body of the Horse...and Laurie did a great tutorial:

Now she tells me...lol I am rendering it right now for the fifth time, having trouble getting lighting right... If this render doesn't satisfy me I am going to have to do a major revamp to try and create the illusion of distance, I still don't like the mane and yes, of course I forgot how to find it controls...not for lack of looking by the way....lol What the controls for the ears are in the tail? lol
