Jousting poses question

Really nice package of poses and props. But the description is a little unclear as to whether the poses are usable with a different horse.

I'm assuming that if there are horse poses and rider poses, that the rider poses are usable regardless of what horse is being used. But the poses are described as hierarchal, which I take to mean that you apply the pose and it poses both the horse *and* the rider.

If you are using a different horse, and apply the pose and the pose simply doesn't apply to the horse, it's no harm done. You just have to pose the horse manually to fit the rider. But if it applies a distorted pose to the horse that has to be undone before you can start posing the horse manually, it's a different matter.

So; two questions:

Has anyone purchased these and can clarify whether the poses for the horse and the poses for the rider are separate?

Has anyone purchased these and tried applying the pose when using the MilHorse or the Hivewire Horse? I think the MilHorse has similar bones, but different limits. The Hivewire Horse has different bones.

    I have included hierarchical poses that work with both Horse 2 and the figure and there are also individual figure poses and horse2 poses.
    Im sorry im not sure how well horse2 poses apply to other horse figures. I would expect that they would need adjustment if they work at all.
    If the bone names are the same the chance of capatability would be higher but still no guarantees.

    Oh, so long as I can apply rider poses (presumably with the equipment) things ought to go reasonably well. I'll give the horse poses a try, but if it's a washout I'll still get use from the set. They may work adequately with the MilHorse, but I won't know until I get them installed.

    Kind of doubt they will work with the Hivewire Horse. That one not only has more bones, it seems to have a lot more morphs available, too.

    I just did a few tests with the milhorse and the poses partially work with it. Some adjustment is needed especially around the feet and and one of the back sections. But the bulk of the pose does carry across.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Will do. It's in the cart now. Just waiting to see what comes out tomorrow.
