Wish we had for Harry the Horse

Most Arabian Native show costumes I've had went over the saddle so you didn't see the saddle itself. That's what the Native Costume 1 is based on so I didn't do a saddle per se just the blankets/barding, reins and headstalls. The two native costume sets were designed to be mix and match and certain pieces can be mixed and matched with the Wild Rose set too which has a English cutback style saddle (the kind used for gaited horses not jumpers).

Okay, thanks! Maybe I do need to add pictures so that the artists know if something isn't being done that they think of. (That was some lousy grammar).

The one thing that has me ganashing my teeth is the fact that while I could probably model a lot of these and some others, (I have books up the wazoo on horses), I have next to no idea how to rig and add morphs to them

I'm with you Dreamer! Tons of ideas, but no real skills in those areas....okay, not great at modelling, either.

That's whats so good about this place Dreamer, a lot of people are happy to collaborate so you might find someone who can do rigging and/or morphing

 

[Dreamer]

@Dakorillon (IMArts) Yeah ideas outstripping ability lol

@Rae134 I would be more than happy to collaborate with some one, who knows maybe some one will offer if not I'll try and figure it out sooner or later lol

I'm excited that someone is working on the Native American "Paint" overlays and feathers for mains and tails. I found the Painted hand prints on ShareCG but I'm not really crazy about the texture set. It would be so good to be able to have the hand print or eye rings to be added after the fact without changing the original body textures. Maybe as a prop.

 

[Rae134]

Hey TheKatster, I wonder what LIE would look like (I think the hand prints/rings would need a hair texture to them otherwise they'd just look stuck on). I'll have to look at how to do that, it might be an option.

I'm not sure what LIE is?? I think it would be great to have a hair texture on them as well. If they were done as props then they could be colored different colors depending on the coat color.

LIE is L(ayered) I(mage) E(ditor Preset). It is similar to using a blend node on textures in Poser, except that you use overlay images with an alpha channel rather than a blend map to control the overlay.

 

[Rae134]

yeah sorry Katster, see what VB said above. Its for DS only.

 

[Dreamer]

I am looking into the options for both Poser and DS for the paint overlays and how to have them look hairy not like stickers Just got a few things to clear off the plate first then I can give this my full attention

 

[TheKatster]

I use Poser only so that would be great Dreamer. If you need a tester for the textures let me know.

 

[Dreamer]

Thanks Katster I'll do that

 

[Dakorillon (IMArts)]

I thought we had this thread combined into the main one!? lol

 

[Pendraia]

I thought we did too...not sure what's happened and my brain is to zombified to work it out at the moment...

 

[Doodle Designs]

I created some more horsey items, here - DoodleDesigns' WIPs

 

[Dakorillon (IMArts)]

Awesome stuff there! Will have to compare with the big list.

OK, I think the new morph for DH2 is pretty ugly from most angles (this one is the only one I've seen that it looks good in) but I DO like the level of detail they have with the veins and musculature, this is the kind of detail I'd love to see on Harry.

I have to agree. I don't want to bash the artist, I know how hard it is to do something new. But, The colors and shape just weren't pleasingly ascetic. But, then I guess that there are some naturally awkward horses out there, too!
