I think that when someone comes up with a kawaii version of Norse myth, something disturbing will probably happen to the basic structure of reality. The world may even end, as predicted, in fire and ice (and little sparkly rainbows).

Doesn’t the mane go all the way up the neck to the ears? I hope that is at least an option…. I bought it but haven’t installed the new horse yet.
From the images on the product page it looks like it stops below the ears. People do strange things to manes for the Olympic Horse Dancing and the like but I’ve never heard of shaving the poor horse. Some breeds thin out a bit on the head but many have thick manes all the way, especially wild and semi-wild ones as in the pic.

... both the main and tail are hair pieces, so any hair-savvy PA can make more natural and/or versatile ones.
Wonderful.
“So, what exactly did you spend all that money on last year?” “Oh, I spent it buying twenty-three different hairstyles for my imaginary digital horse ...”
Thanks for the explanation. It makes a lot of sense. I’m sure somebody will make the bits for doing the shaggy mountain and moorland breeds. The pic is a Pyrenees wild horse.
I know I’ve missed all the sale hubaloo but I’ve still got a nagging curiosity about the Horse 2, will this work in DS4 and if not ... why?
I’ve begun to see more and more Daz Original products that are 4.5 only and it seems really unfair. I myself use DS4 but I know there’s still a bunch of people who use DS3 ... why would you release great products that no one else aside from Poser/DS4.5 people can use, therefore preventing the rest of us from buying them? Seems like a silly business strategy to me.
In case you haven’t heard/seen yet there has been a file to remap the Horse2 and allow it to take Milhorse textures and a clone made so the Milhorse stuff fits Horse2 as well ...here’s the link ..... by the way it works great!! http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/12456/

No, I’m afraid it won’t work in DS4. I’m still using DS4 and I had to get a refund on the Horse.
It won’t wotk because it is in duf format which DS4 can’t read.
Have to agree, it isn’t fair that Daz are making us upgrade to DS4.5. I refuse to upgrade until all the bugs are fixed.

I have the same concern about upgrading ... I want things to be completely stable especially if I have to go through the hassle of reinstalling ALL of my genesis content. Truth be told though, I really like using DS4 so I don’t see why I should be forced to upgrade in the first place, it’s just a shame I can’t enjoy some of these new products! I hope Daz will stop trying to strong arm their customers and at least start including legacy installers with all the new toys.

Wow that’s awesome so I’m assuming you would have to get the horse ... then DL and use the poser version (cr2 I’m guessing) and apply the old Milhorse MATs to that, in order for this method to work?? But wouldn’t that mean you lose access to all the cool extra shapes (a la genesis) that come with Horse2? For me the extra shapes are the feature which makes me want to get it most.
Nope doesn’t change anything on Horse2 just allows it to accept the Milhorse UV ,she included a few MAT files for the horse textures fromDAZ that she had,you will have to have those textures for them to work,and for any other textures you would have to hand load the texture then save out as a MAT file,for future use.It’s RTEencoded against the milhorse object which both the milhorse and Horse2 use .Instructions included.
You lose nothing you gain the ability to use the textures,armour,etc.from the milhorse with the Horse2 ..........and to an extend the other shapes ...
Edited cause I can’t type worth @*#*@@(((@)))*&^%$.......tonight
My only negative is that all 5 breeds were not included in the base model set. To me, this is like buying stephanie, but not getting stephanie curvy.
.
Definitely a deal breaker for me. S5 Curvy is the only S5 I use
Yeah, Steph 5 curvy is awesome.I prefer my female figures to be curvy. I do find it strange that all 5 of the models forms aren’t included with basic horse.
All the starter bundles seem to be missing something, ummm, basic…
But I still wanna try one with the
