#36 - Bringing it to life - Vernet, Horace

zet

I googled a bit and found this

It is too complicated - but well, maybe I should give it a try. I like the dynamics in this scene.

maybbe if you did it super low res and low poly you could do it all... but i doubt it.

You could always model it all then if you REALLY need polies delete the back facing polies that aren't shown 8-)

zet

It'll be just an experiment for me ... I also doubt that I can handle this work. Maybe I'll just try to model the rider on the left (would be complicated enough, I have only few experience in modelling humans/animals).

zet

Ok, started modelling the horse

ghost-d

Just my opinion - maybe it would be much easier to model the horse and the rider without the pose and pose it later.
Good luck.

why waste time rigging?

I say model it posed

zet

As said, I regard it more as a non-serious test...

Anyway, I model it in pose because I fear that I would spend too much work in the details which won't be visible from the original perspective (I donnot plan to model the backfaces properly). I want to model a few additional objects to see if my scene setting is acceptable. I am curious if it will become easier or harder if I begin to model objects that are partial hidden.

CMB

Think about it this way.

I can model the characters how they are posed and use up LOTS of texture space because they are not symetrical and mirroring them unconventionaly may take a while and my end result will be really nice looking

OR

Model 1 white horse, make symetrical, texture and rig it then duplicate it for the other rider.
Model 1 cougar,make symetrical,texture and rig it then duplicate it.
Model 1 rider... ETC
Then your end result will look a bit bland but you will finish earlier(if you have rigging experience) and you will have a couple of rigged models you can use for other things.

Think about it.

won't the textures come mostly from the painting anyway?
