To my utter amazement, the DAZ store came up with a long-awaited, often demanded and very neccessary item today! https://www.daz3d.com/dflatable-donkey

I admit that the price is a bit steep, but if you consider the high usability and the amazing design, it's worth every cent. Well done DAZ! heart

    Ms Hedgehog does look pretty concerned. Perhaps she blames herself for the donkey's current predicament. lol Pin the Tail On the Donkey must have gone horribly wrong.

    I need to inflate him with the grass from my lawn. The hedgehog isn't eating enough of it and I don't like mowing it.

    <snrk> Has anyone else come across a collection of wildlife videos on YouTube? This isn't "animals of the African savannah", it's "balloon animals of the African savannah". The first one I saw had a spherical cheetah chasing a spherical antelope, and... erm... losing its balance in a tight turn. Hilariously. There's a good few of them; zebras at a waterhole, flamingoes, a leopard trying not to fall out of a tree, and so on.

    I've seen them. They're hilarious ;) The crocodile that can't seem to right himself is a scream ;)

    It actually reminded me of an old Far Side gag cartoon about the "boneless chicken ranch," which consisted of a bunch of rubber-chickeny-looking poultry draped across fences and stuff.  HAH!

    scaling transforming joints using a smoothing modifier colliding with Horse 2 then Zprojection and smoothing plus some move brush action in Zbrush

    @Wendy_Carrara Would you mind giving some more details on your process (the Zbrush part)? Thank you.

    its rather fiddly as I am pretty incompitent at Zbrush but after matching as near as I could in DAZ studio which itself is fiddly,

    I import both objects and save as Ztools

    that way under subtool I can append one to the other

    then I use Zproject with the one I want to project on the other selected (I think, I often do the wrong one and have to click ctrl Z)

    also as the donkey hollow outer can be checked in Zproject

    that very roughly does it

    I use the zproject brush and click shift smoothing to tidy it up and had to use move brush on ears hiding horse 2 tool to check

    then when as near as I can get I exported the donkey subtool as an obj for morphloader and follow Leana's clone tute

     

     

    this is what I exported from DAZ studio before using Zbrush, just scaling bones, posing and using collision

    as you can see it already is pretty close to Horse 2
