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.
