How The Hivewire Horse (harry) Came To Be.

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 remember seeing Laurie post using Harry but that may have been after a pm conversation you both had. After that everyone just adopted it as his name...
Me too...OMG, I had absolutely no idea that could be done. I'm definitely going to play with those. Thanks for the heads-up!
Love seeing all the morphs you have created Chris! You are so talented...
I had actually adjusted the mane itself before, but oh my gosh. I never had results like that.
Guess I have to try it again! Those results are stunning!

Thanks Chris!
LOL I started calling him Harry coz I was one of those kids who grew up on the old Warner Brothers "Loony Tunes" cartoons in the sixties and there was this one with a singing frog who sang "I'm Just Wild About Harry" -
(
- the song is at about 53 seconds in ) and I got that song stuck in my head... and started calling him Harry He had become so personal to me I couldn't just call him HW or the HW Horse anymore
I can't thank Chris and Paul enough for working so closely with me on Harry. It's always been a dream of mine to be a part of a team that made the best 3d horse model in the world. So fun to see the amazing process again!

I think I like that variant of a unicorn. It's closer to the original description.
They really aren't supposed to be equines. Whatever the original observer saw was not a horse. And the way they were described, they were composite beasts, i.e., monsters. Only the head was supposed to resemble a horse's. The body has been variously described as a deer or a goat, with, of course, a lion's tail. This variant with the head not *quite* fitting the body, gives it back some of that "composite" character.

I remember that cartoon!
Truly a very, VERY evil Frog!

Wow. I had no idea that you had built him off of Dawn's mesh! That's amazing, Chris. And he came out so well in the end! I definitely do use Harry as my go-to figure when I need a horse. I wish I could switch over to Dawn and Dusk that way, but I can't for storyline/character reasons.
But Harry... if there is a horse in any of my images - you can guarantee it's definitely Harry.
And YAY! Deer! I don't know if you have any intentions on doing this, but with the deer, going from deer to elk shouldn't be too hard? I would love, LOVE an updated elk model. I adore Lyne's elk, but it is old enough at this point that it has some severe limitations and I would snap up an elk like this in a heartbeat!
Great work on the cow and bull, too. I love seeing the progress shots like this... I can't follow all the in-between steps of course, as what you're doing is way above my skill level, but I still am amazed at how it progresses and the workflow that you do share with us. ^_^

I am seriously looking forward to the deer, sheep, cow and elk if it comes to be. Love it all!

Amazingly beautiful work... and I love seeing the process! When are those deer coming out? They are just gorgeous, and Whisper- OMG- she will fly out of the store!
