Horse model

| Here's a pic of a black horse I've been working on lately.  It took me quite awhile to get the texture looking right but I'm pleased with the result.  I'm hoping I can get a brown and also white horse off this texture by swapping colors out.  This model contains 632 polygons or 1174 tris. Basic model:  Trotting:  A few other blanket textures:   |

| Very nice for so few polygons, however there is a visible ridge/seam along the nose, still very good looking horse. Is it for your own personal use or are you releasing this to the community (for a price I would assume)? |

| This is for a medieval-themed game I'm working on. (no, it's not an rpg, either)  It's just one of many in a long line of models to make.  The horse itself didn't take that long to model but the texture was a pain.  (first time I tried to uv something with 4 legs)  If anyone wants the model (un-rigged and un-animated) they can have it but I don't think I'll include the texture with it. |

| ..nice work man... i like it... |

| Good stuff - will you be selling eventually? |

| Very good for low poly. Horses are notoriously difficult to draw well, so I'd image that applies to modelling them too. Well done. | 
|

| Thanks guys.  I thought it turned out really well, too.  If anyone wants the base model, I think I'll post a link to it soon or email me and I'll send you a copy. |

| Oohh! /me wants, please! I tried modeling horses once... didn't get anywhere near this quality though :) |

| Nice horsie *Arnold accent* Needs a better saddle, looks like it just has a little carpet on it. |

|  Needs a better saddle, looks like it just has a little carpet on it. It is a saddle blanket. |

| Very nice indeed. I'd like to see a lighter texture, as that one's a bit dark for me, but the model looks excellent. Very impressive to have got the shapes so right in such a small number of polys. I don't think it's supposed to be a saddle. I think it's a saddle cloth, and they are indeed as thin as that appears. I agree that it looks odd on a 3d model though. Perhaps a very small extrusion and bevel might do it. |

| Indeed the "blanket" is just that, a blanket.  It wasn't supposed to be a saddle, but, maybe I'll add a seperate saddle mesh to it.  As far as the dark texture goes, well, it is a black horse. :) |

| An update with brown texture:  And the model and white texture rendered in a Blitz3d program. Notice the visible seams do disappear within B3D. The rendering program made them more visible.   |

| Here is a link to a .3ds file of the horse model.  It is of course, untextured and unanimated. http://www.mediafire.com/?njy2zxxmd0y |

| Ah - unanimated.... Please animate it. I'll wait here. (Where is Puki, anyway?) |
