First attempt at a Beagle for Daz Dog 8

I just spent an hour or so building a Beagle out of the Dachsund for Daz Dog 8 with the morph dials and referring to https://www.dummies.com/pets/dogs/beagles-the-akc-breed-standard/. What do you think? What's working? What still needs work?

P.S. I used the skin from Bully. Obviously, I'd like to do something custom.

    That's really cute. I think you've got the face dead on. In the profile the upper portion of his back is dipping down, but it should go up in that area. I'd smooth out the line of the belly too. Maybe shorten the legs just a hair or bring his chest out just a little. That skin is spot on for him though. Nicely done :D

    Thanks! Great points. Going to have fun with this. I didn't expect to get this far with just the morph dials. Wish I knew a little bit more about modeling software so that I could really push it further, but just this is exciting to me.

    He looks pretty "Beagley" to me.  Nice to know that's possible certainly. Good job.

    If not a pure beagle, then a very nice beagle-cross! I like it yes

    Thanks, everyone! Once I've got it perfected, is there any way to share it (legally) in case others want to use it?

    That looks really nice! And yes, you can share it as a character preset. That way, anyone that has the products required will be able to use it.

    My brother used to have a beagle for a real long time.  He got the beagle as a puppy, but puppies do not stay puppies.  Also dogs do get old so fast (compared to humans).

    i would love more breeds for dog 8.  Will this require anything else other than the dachshund?

    Looking rather beagley to me :-)  I love all dogs, but beagles will always be my personal favourite.

    It would be great to have some more breeds for the Daz dog.  The old dog had loads more than the new one.

    I'm not sure. Is there a way to figure that out? I started with the Dachsund and didn't mix anything else in as far as I know. I used the skin from Bully, but I might see if I can make another skin by the end of this. The other thing that isn't quite standard (and might not even be totally necessary) is a Dformer I used to get the top of the head a little more squared than round.

    Good to know that I can share it as a pre-set once I'm done.

    People need the Dog8 base, as well as the Dachsund morph. (Yes, I know that's self-evident, but if you don't cross the 't's and dot the 'i's somebody will kick up a stink.)

    If you upload it to someplace like ShareCg you might want to just upload the clay render and *tell* them that the Bully skin would work.

    The Millennium Dog textures almost fit the Daz Dog 8. Anyone who had those could, with a little photoshop knowledge, get the beagle skin to look OK as a start. Just throwing an idea out there for anyone who had the old dog skins but hadn't tried then yet. The old dog poses also partly work, some better than others, btw..
