Poseable Tail User Manual
For Hai Gan's Poseable Tail Prop
Use with figures other than the Poser horse:
The Poseable Tail is a smart prop designed for use with the horse model included with Poser 3 and later versions. It may be possible to use it with other horse figures by repositioning and rescaling, but it has not been tested with any model other than the Poser horse. Feel free to experiment, and I will do my best to provide technical support if needed, but if I don't have your particular model myself then my ability to assist may be limited.
The tail is smart propped to the body part 'tail1', so if your non-Poser horse figure does not have this body part you will need to parent it to whatever joint corresponds to the base of your model's tail, or to the hip if you prefer:


'Inherit bends of parent' should be blank.
If parented to the tail, you will need to pose the joint until the poseable tail hides the join with the hip, then lock the joint:

If parented to the hip you won't need to lock the original tail.
The original tail should then be set invisible:
Method 1:


Repeat for the other tail joints (e.g. 'tail2', 'tail3' etc.)
Method2:


It should now be possible to use the poseable tail with your non-Pose horse, but as already mentioned it has NOT been tested with other horse models. For instructions on setting the tail colour, see the end of the section Use with the Poser horse.
