DAZ Horse 2: Foal Preset

Description

This is a size-based morph; a foal has approximately 90% of the leg length of an adult horse, while the rest of the body is still growing in every other dimension. The head has signs of neoteny (larger eyes, ears, slightly larger head when compared to the rest of the body, weaker jaw).

This is not a newborn, but slightly older foal. In order to make it more newborn, you'll need to tweak everything *but length legs* slightly smaller. Remember: an hour old foal born in wilderness is capable of walking, and couple of hours later, running away from predators. That's why they have so long legs.

There are no mane settings: I recommend to create mane and tail with LAMH or Garibaldi hair plugin. Note that the foal's mane is short, clumped and somewhat pebbly, whereas tail has most of its hair in one big lump, from which some errand strands emerge. Foals have fluffier sort of coat for the first two months (or so) of their life (the 'AWWWWW!' phase), after which they shed it and grow hair closer to that of an adult.

You can dial in breed morphs, with some caveats -- some results will be outrageously hilarious in their wrongness (try Arabian, for example). So you still need to do some manual tweaking yourself.

This is not a perfect "morph". It will be obsolete as soon as someone does an actual morph-based foal, but for now, it will do in a pinch.

And it is free.

Enjoy!
