LOL! I will see what I can do, but let me wait a bit for a few more people to chime in! Nearly have promos done on the racing forms.

love this!got around to play with Harry. I haven't referenced photos yet. I like to set it up to what I think is realish first. Still would love some vein maps.
Made a detailed Normal Map (Sobel 5x5 Y inverted) from the bump map. Adjusted Iray shader settings.
First image Auto Conversion
Second Image Iray Adjusted with Normal map.
now with the DS Iray Sun/Sky
I am a little disappointed in painted on highlights on the hair maps though. Not good in this day and age even for 3DL and Firefly let alone Iray. Please no more painted highlights of some replacement maps would be nice.

There's some stunning horse art on here! I've been away from the 3d community for the last few years (health and time) and only got to play with my 3d toys sporadically.
I've been using Daz Studio and Harry for a couple of weeks again though and haven't really got any artwork to show for it because as usual I get distracted with tinkering.
Heres a few "painterly" style images I made with my test renders - my daughter keeps begging me for images for her walls as she isn't into the "3d" look. The last one was crunched through the Deep Dream Generator.
I made some rough and ready UVs so I could use my own MilHorse textures with Harry and the old Zebra texture and am currently working on an Akhal Teke morph but I'm struggling to get the mane to look right on him.

Hiya Rae, thank you 
Thanks for buying my Welshie, if you need to you can redownload your package from my website or if you have lost your login just let me know and I'll reset it for you.
I did try to recreate Ronnie (the pony that this character was based on) with Harry and used my Milhorse UVs to use the coat texture from my welshie set on him as in the render below. I have used the texture transfer utility to generate a map with the Hivewire Horse UVs but it is a bit rough and ready on the seams where I couldn't get the UV's to match and only covers the coat (I have been using CWRW's superb maps for the rest of the materials). As a customer I can send you the map if you would like it?

gorgeous renders all!!
LOL yeah!! Actually I live not too far from New Orleans and they have a Krew called the Pegasus Krew that does fantastic Mardi Gras floats!!
Awesome render btw you background really sets off your main characters!
WOW! Gorgeous images!! =) Thanks so much for sharing them and welcome back to 3D! I really love the first one and I could see that framed over a door space. I have a similar body type to the Akhal Teke juvenile in the Growing Up Thoroughbred morph set that should be out soonish, but have been working sporadically on the larger version trying to get that unusual body style is difficult just using the dial morphs as it's more off a trapezoid shape. I also wish there were some nice veins and muscle definition for the HiveWire Horse sort of like your toned and body builder morphs that you have for the human models . I Love Ronnie!!! Rae has been twisting my arm to try and do a Welsh/Irish Cob! I also have a Gypsy Vanner Morph from Harry/Draft/Foal that is nearly done in Daz and my custom toony char Bubbles. I just have to figure out how to convert them over to Poser!

Thank you @NapalmArsenal this is Ronnie in real life, he's actually a Welsh section c, the smaller version of the welsh cob, we've had him for 12 years now since her was a very moth eaten 2 year old. Even though he is only 13.2hh (top size for a c) he has the biggest personality of any horse I know and is definitely the boss of our 5. We also have Cruz a Welsh section d (from a very gangly ugly yearling) who is now a very handsome "proper" welsh cob - the attached render is of a character I built around him for the Daz Horse 2, but was never happy with the legs. We also have 2 little welsh section a ponies and a bonkers, won't accept her age thoroughbred whose hobby is causing mayhem, being a 21 year old diva and running up huge vet bills haha.
I've just had a look at your Growing Up Thoroughbred morph set, very nicely done! it's so hard to capture that age between foal and adult. The 3 of ours we've had from youngsters looked like different shaped horses week by week, I was seriously concerned about how large Cruz's head was at one time and how narrow his chest was, he looked like a donkey instead of a red in the purple cob lol.
I'm finding with the Akhal Teke character that there are some problems with the mesh deforming badly in some poses which I'm trying to find a way around, probably because it is so extreme in the long legs and neck. I thought I'd gotten around that by not adding the scaling to the morph but adding scaling control dials and by adjusting the bones to the shape. I haven't gotten around to trying to get everything working in Poser yet, in fact I haven't opened Poser for at least a couple of years as I'm so much more comfortable with the DS interface. I've only just had to relearn how to create ERC dials for the scaling morphs so one step at a time haha.
I'd love some good displacement maps for the vascularity, chestnuts and all the little bumps and wrinkles around the mouth. I made one but it didn't really work out as I wanted it to so it's back to the drawing board with that but it's on my list.
One other problem I'm having is the mane not fully following the morphed mesh, I got around that a while ago with my "continental heavy", but my sieve like memory can't recall how.
Love your Vanner too, have a lot of them around here but not the nice quality types you seem to have more of in the States but they are such nice honest horses, and so much easier temperaments than welshies and thoroughbreds, I keep saying that if I ever get another (if I ever get well enough to ride again) it will be a nice, calm coloured cob
Thank you @NapalmArsenal
