    Damn that looks awesome 

    sadly too many factors limiting it to DAZ studio only for me to buy at the moment though I do occasionally buy the HD stuff in spite of that.

    And use DAZ studio and swear angry

    Your RAWcentaur Rogan for example works in iClone but I cannot export HD morphs as FBX so until DAZ adds that ability and the geografting rules out fitting a HD obj to the rig with the transfer utility too (my usual workaround for clothes).

    He does look so good though I may cave when cashed up again (broke at moment)

    That name is HILARIOUS. Kudos. ;)

    I did wishlist it

    I just tried yet another failed experiment exporting subdivided FBX and loading an obj on it outside of DAZ studio in hope, tried so many options I really love the look of this stuff.

    sadly HD morphs change vertex order in a highly kept secretive way I would be happy if DAZ just let us bake them to a rigged subdivided figure for export to other apps.

    This is fantastic!  Any chance of us seeing this as a humanoid character in the future?

    Probably not this character per-ce (I like to keep things original)...but I may have aliens with some similar attributes at some time

    we need riders and if only I could figure out Xtranormal and baking those HD morphs into a map!

    a certain PA (not you) keeps saying maps as good as HD but I need the map!!

    The hides are absolutely beautiful!  It's like Avatar meets Brian Froud . . .

    Just my opinion, but I think this looks way better than the humanoid centaur.

    Looks great. It's stated that it only works with Centaur so I guess no chance using figure/texture as humanoid? That said, one could dial in the head separately, right?

    The head is not a seperate dial, sorry

    Can I just say how much I hate having to budget?  This has moved to the top of the wishlist for me.  I need to win the lottery.  You guys are all far too productive, I can't keep up lol!

    I have to agree. The classic centaur is interesting looking (or I wouldn't have bought it) but this beastie looks like a unified whole, rather than something pieced together (the platypus falls into that category, despite being a real creature). I love the lean-but-muscular look Alpha has, and the head shape and scales give it a rather draconic look. It looks like Alpha and dragons (both six-limbed vertabrates) might have had a common ancestor millions of years ago

    I hope Rawn (and other PAs) use the centaur base(s) to create other original creatures. I think there's a lot of potential here. I wouldn't mind seeing some more textuture for Alpha, and wonder if we'll see a female. Beta or Proxima Centaur, anyone?

    OK I caved and bought it, nice as the base mesh looks in iClone 6 I wish there were some nice displacement maps to tesselate and mimic the HD mesh version

    (yes are maps but not for that)

    sigh, I guess I have to cut two obj up in to separate surfaces and use Xnormal to make them from the high rez version for the low rez one.

    or shock! use DAZ studio, the problem there being animating Genesis 3 easily

    other than that, he is cute heart
