That's really nice! ZB cloth brush, I assume? What I like about this approach is that it doesn't affect/change the topology, like Marvelous Designer does. ^_____^
Yes Zb cloth brush , if you remesh the wrinkles it will be baked in like in MD and death pants , when rigging you can always move the wrinkles when needed and smooth it out , baked wrinkles in topology don't move anywhere , here everything is flexible and move with the animated character as it supposed to and can be still used with dynamic cloth simulation , DS or Poser.

7 ft.? So much for the average Joe! And, not that I'm into horse racing, but I happen to know that jockeys are usually rather on the short and small side. 7 ft.? I don't think there's ever been a 7 ft. jockey!

OK but before, give me your wallet ! :p;)
I've already signed it over! Just waiting on the rigging, like you.

OK, I'll have to modify my statement. I don't think there's ever been a 7 ft. professional horse racing jockey.

There have been plenty of tall desk jockeys! And, I don't know what that is...but it looks awkward! I doubt they'd win any races, unless it were a race to get laughs.

Well, that kind of proves my point, then. I feel bad for that Aussie guy! I'm only 5'6" and I'm struggling to get down below 160 lbs. lately. Warm weather is coming in, though, so I'll be a bit more active...at least doing yardwork. :rolleyes:

Jockeys are short as that is important to weight as little as possible , Dusk is 6.2 ½ Dawn is 5.8 ½, Genesis figures are Female 5.8 ½ and Male 5.9

Jockeys are from 4 ft 10 in to max 5.7 10 in tall so little shorter than Dawn base.

:laugh: I was just kidding , it was funny expression in the moment .. thanks for the lough ..

Shaquille O'Neal would not win anything on the 1.190 lb horse , he weight probably a lot more than ¼ of the horse

By definition, a desk jockey is "an office worker who sits at a desk, often as contrasted with someone who does more important or active work".
I was talking about that image that was posted of Shaq and that woman. I know what a desk jockey is.

Even as a tween I would have been too tall and starting to get too heavy to be a jockey. Luckily there isn't a height or weight restriction on riding, but there was an age one (I think it was 16) to do track work and I was only 13/14 so I did road work instead. The trainer picked me up, I'd ride 2 racehorses, muck out a few stables and have a quick shower before he dropped me off at school lol

I trained mostly for the junior show jumping competition until my 14, but my Olympic 1980 Gold and silver medalist trainer ( picture below) dropped me in 1984 . He passed away last year. I was going to school together with his sister that when she got me involved with horses .
