Oh cool scene, The African Elephant! The light looks like late afternoon, sun glaring at the camera lens. The Oliphaunt in Middle Earth is bigger, has more tusks and they put battle spikes and saw wire on them than our regular Elephants! I recall Samwise Gamgee being fascinated with them in the movie. "Look Mr. Frodo, Oliphaunts!" Big enough their howdahs carried a whole squad of troops in them! Noggin must have loved the Lord of the Rings stuff too, he made this set to go with that elephant: https://www.daz3d.com/war-howdah Have fun! :o) McG.

Yes, it was a Noggin set. I've used his stuff ever since he did the Rat and that's a good set too with lots of options built in.

Same here. So, I got to rooting around in the runtime to piddle around with the textures and find some in guess who's folder(s)? Just don't say "Roy Batty" and we be cool ok? ;o) ANYWAY, I was amiss to lead thinking to the Elephant being Noggins. The Howdah and War Howdah Texture set are his. As way cool as the various elephants are, I am not sure who exactly created the original DAZ African Elephant. Which seems a masterpiece of simplicity, actually! I find that it was Chris Creek of Silverkey3D that created most of the DAZ animals. I also recall most of us agreeing that the DAZ animals were WAY better than the Poser animals. And the DAZ African Elephant is a Silverkey critter! :o) Tadaaaaaa! McG. "Stephen" <sbriggs99@gmail.com> wrote in message news:5d4d97a1$1@LostBBS... > Really??

Yup, I agree. The DAZ animals are far superior to the Poser stock critters. "McG." <McGrandpaNOT@NOThotmail.com> wrote in message news:5d4e1fd6$1@LostBBS... > Same here.

And SO, having opened another historical Can Of Worms, I headed over to where Chris Creek is now the CEO of HiveWire to check out anything new that he and Ken Gilliland (Songbird REMIX guy!) have come out with. Oh COOL! Lizards of the World with our beloved li'l Carolina Anole in it! And he did an excellent character of it too! Yeah I bought it. YAH! MINE! LOL! :D I got birthday bonus points which I spent on that and some other goodies. Heh! I do love working with LIFE figures and scenes. Of course they are more difficult to 'get right' in a render. But so worth the effort. :) McG. "Stephen" <sbriggs99@gmail.com> wrote in message news:5d5426f4$1@LostBBS... > Yup, I agree.

The animal/bird figures are great, I agree. I've never liked the Dawn/Dusk human figures though. They're way too expensive for human shapes that aren't a significant improvement over V4/M4, IMHO.

Agreed on Dawn/Dusk. I dunno about ALL the HW animals though. Like the HW Horse, 'Harry'. The pics look good, I hear from people using it that its better than the MilHorse but nothing about DazHorse2 comparisons. I have both DAZ Horses, and still love the old MilHorse1. There are morphs and fixes for it, improvements with characters for it, hundreds of coats for it, and I don't see any Centaur Kits for them like HEMI426 created for the MilHorse. That alone keeps me using MilHorse, MilHorseFoal, MilBigCat, Charger. BUT now Ken Gilliland is firmly part of HiveWire, Chris Creek is the CEO of HW, LisaB, LaurieS, Dreamer are there and others that once were at DAZ now do amazing stuff there at HW. I buy stuff from them and do enjoy using it all. I did buy the HW HouseCat cause it was on sale. Couldn't resist! I got lots of cool kitties now. Yes I did buy into DAWN. I really want to see how much it takes to get that Figure up to 'Best V4' level. It doesn't, so far, get there. It's GOOD, but LaFemme started out above Dawn's best IMO. And I have bought every morph in sight for LaFemme also. And also for PE. But, LaFemme can be a total trip man, it's amazing. There is SO MUCH in it I am both boggled and bedazzled by it. The only thing I don't like about it is it ONLY works in Poser 11/Pro. Not sure if any of the mesh is reason for that. It should be usable in at least P10 and up yaknow? Like PP2014! And, how will it port into Vue? So back on topic, I LOVE Kens birds man. It will take me a long time but I'll get all of them eventually! And the Lizards of the World is one that's great too. I bought the HW Lizard and two sets of characters to go with it. I love our little Carolina Anoles (chameleon garden lizard), they really have personality, are bright (sometimes), very active little guys. Its funny though, as a kid I recall seeing some occasionally as much as a foot long in certain kinds of bushy trees we had. Maybe these were just ancient ones? I thought they were smooth iguanas or something at first, being so big. But they let me stroke them a little, didn't run away. Their skin, shapes, color changes were the same as the little ones so I reckon they were the Great Grandparents of the neighborhood or something. So, now I have them in 3D! :D McG.

I didn't get the lizard set but I got Frogs of the world and the Hivewire Horse, which is great, IMO. There are a lot of skins for it like the feline set that allows you to create some really alien-looking creatures! I also got a Hawks of North America set, some of which I've posted here. I was accepted as a Poser 11.2 'early adapter' and I'm running that now. I haven't found any bugs yet and everything seems fine, but they are actually doing NIGHTLY builds of it. I almost feel guilty because I'm not really putting it under any stress tests. ;o) "McG." <McGrandpaNOT@NOThotmail.com> wrote in message news:5d5e1bb5$1@LostBBS... > Agreed on Dawn/Dusk.

I wanted the Lizards cause of the Carolina Anole. OR, in regular folks terms, the Garden Chameleon Lizard. You see, I remember, as a kid, finding little clutches of not quite hard tiny white eggs. Carefully gathering them up and sheltering them in a warm sunny window corner. Then they'd hatch, and I'd know it by my moms screams and the broom whacking the walls and chairs. oops. I'll try another window. but see, I thought they were snake eggs at first. And when I finally saw some hatching, I saw these little tiny tadpole sized green/gray 4 legged lizards that would instantly tongue lash every fly and skeeter around! And this was before the insurgence of alien Gecko's from SE Asia! That didn't start until the pet trade got some in the 70's. But now I knew how to find BABY garden lizards! LOL! I wonder how long it took for a pair of them to get to over a foot long? Big enough to eat little birds! And they were Carolina Anoles, just like the little ones. Only much bigger. I saw this pair eating bumble bees and wasps. They seemed smarter than the little ones. Never saw a different description of these, so they must be simply older Anoles. AND, the good ol Texas Horned Toad! Another lizard in the clutch!
