how about a dragon horse?

started to model in blender but there is some hiccup and I can't reimport the blender mesh back to DAZ so I went back to hexagon... where I have another hiccup as I am not yet very familiar with the program. Does anybody know how to stop the vertices from snapping to the symmetry line? with the soft selection some of them ended up too close to the zero point of the x axis and now I cannot pull them away, they keep snapping back to the zero point. Don't know where to disable this.

Can you also do a set of dragon wings for the horse? You wont believe how many people ask me what set of wings these are, but they are entirely 2D.
I sort of wanted kind of an anti pegasus once upon a time!

I think I have a folder with some things I pulled out that might be kind of neat.

Wow... lots of things. I will think about the demonic wings but I should think that it should be possible to use one of the sets that are around for people and fit them to the horse. But before I can think about any of that I need to figure how to get to grips with either blender or hexagon. Hexagon doesn't like me to use sculpt brushes, it crashed on me :(

Like these for example, I think I used the wings from Garreee's Draconian

My apologies if this has been addressed before, since it's a 50 page thread, but is there any chance of the mane and tail of Harry being made for subdivision in Poser 11 and later 12?

You can subdivide it- just choose the mane and go to top menu->Figure->Skinning Method-> Poser Unimesh. Once you've done that you can subdivide the mane. Normally for the Mane I use SubD 3. This also works for Harry Body and Tail etc. as well.

Maybe I have overseen something, but I would like to see a HiveWire Zebra too. And how about a Donkey, based on the Horse Model.

I know, that this products are requested several times. But a concrete anwser would be helpful.

I'm fairly sure that both of those are in the works. As far as I know the bottle-neck is that there is only 1 rigger, and he is very busy with Dawn 2.0 right now.

Exactly right. The thing is, I can create (morph) a bunch of different animal shapes, but then maps are a challenge as well, as we are limited there too.
