My Millennium Horse Dynamic Hair Project Well today it’s been back to an old project for me as I needed to render a horse with realistic hair in Carrara. I worked on this a few years ago using the Millennium Horse <Mil Horse) model which was real a pain as all in built geometry based …

I’ve hit a problem with my mane figure for the Daz Horse 2 model in that when loaded in a scene you can only select it from the scene panel in Daz Studio, I had thought that I had hit a bug in Daz Studio but it doesn’t look as though anything else is effected 🙁

I then opened the dsf file folder up in windows explorer and changed the file extension to .dsfbak.
