    All of this reminds me, What becomes of content that is no longer in the store? I have seen references to an archive but they are not any good. And if my old content becomes obsolete and I need to reload because of a new computer or a crash, is it just lost forever? And if there is a magical land of former Daz content, Does IM still support it?

    Any product you buy from DAZ will always be in your Product Library, even if the product is pulled/retired/purged from the DAZ Store and is no longer available for purchase.  I bought the Safari Starter Bundle, which included the Zebra (SKU 340) back in March 2009 and the animals in the bundle are available in my product library and downloadable from DIM and DAZ Connect.

    if you bought it from DAZ you can download it

    that archive was a collection of free stuff one did not have to sign in to download they did not carry over to the new site

    also there used to be a collection of PC+ freebies they discontinued 

    looking at your join date this was literally years before probably 7

    There was a stand-alone zebra, looks as if it has been pulled from the store though it is still included in https://www.daz3d.com/safari-animals (though I suspect that bundle will now be pulled).

    I have that bundle. Can't remember when I got it. I'll have to check if it was still included. Why would they pull the bundle or the zebra since they are Daz Originals? 

    Looks like they just did.  I also wonder why? 

    Safari animals is inactive, but Safari Starter Bundle is still in the store. https://www.daz3d.com/safari-starter-bundle

    And now that one is gone too ...

    Because it had the Zebra in it and DAZ is secretly run by an Okapi who hates the Zebras who used to make fun of him in school.  To be fair, though, Zebras are generally kind of jerks as they only see things in black and white and never in shades of grey.

    That's a common myth. They can see about 50.

    lucky daz isn't like it used to be. Many years ago maybe daz 2? when first looked you could only download a product 4 or 6 times think after that you had to rebuy

    Maybe they slaughtered the Zebra and used the skin for the textures for these...

    Can you prove that? devil  (just kidding)

    If it's a legal or copyright problem I guess the mods might have done it of course, that's part of their job I guess, but I haven't seen any mention of what the problem was.

    You didn't have to rebuy, just ask Daz to reset the downloads so you had more attempts.

    I haven't checked, but my recollection is that the old zebra has a very basic UV mapping so it may simply be quality that led to its removal.

    Sad little zebra ...

    Herp derp. Yup, and one for Centaur 3 female, too, both by RawArt. And I own them both, so yay!

    I also did a rough one

    Awesome! Thanks for that. Have you shared the textures also, or is that a shaping preset?

    is just textures, click on attachments to open in new window and rightclick save as

    I can link them here too

    Hi Wendy and sorry for resurecting an old thread, but I thought I'd let you know I'd downloaded your Zebra textures and did a quick render using them.

    I've not altered the horse at all (yet) so the render isn't finished, but just wanted to say I really appreciate the work you've done and thanks for making it available. heart

    LOL looks good from a distance 

    I would have hoped with Horsw 3 someone like Hypertaf would have done a decent zebra by now 

  • IceScribeIceScribe Posts: 694

    The 3D zebra was created by Debra Ross aka SilverKey. There are somevremaining products of hers on still available on DAZ

    Giraffe
    Fawn
    Monkey
    Bat
    Pronghorn Antelope

    and more, but no Zebra shows in google search results for Debra Ross SilverKey or under Poser products
