W.I.P Thread for Dreamers Coats for Harry

[Dreamer]

@Rae134 here you go

 

[Rae134]

hmm, I'd maybe soften the bottom shoulder line a little maybe? (more random like the right side of the belly)

 

[Dreamer]

Cool, what about moving the top shoulder line up a bit to better follow the shape of it? Any where you think I should add or remove?

 

[Rae134]

My suggestion would be to google "metallic coat horse" and look at all the pretty ponies of course lighting will effect it but I think most images will be consistent enough to give you an idea.

BTW, Kamba was the horse that got me fascinated with the AT breed when I was but a wee lass (many many moons ago )

And a couple of more pretties:

I have that image in a book on horse breeds that I got years ago, all ways loved it. I have been looking at shiny coats till my eyes crossed lol I think with what you said about the shoulder and perhaps softening some of the other lines too will help. It will have to wait till later though as I am rendering promos for some thing else right now

 

[Rae134]

Yeah, I think Kamba was the poster boy for the breed many years ago. I loved his coat the most but even his shape is nice, fine but not malnourished like some of them look.

I really loved that chestnut, my boys coat was like that only redder.

Looking at the coats, its seems to show metallic more on parts that stick out (and of course the lighting helps).

 

[Dreamer]

Dang Rae you are better at digging up images than I am lol Looking at those ones I can see it need to go over the bony parts more and some down the flank in front of the point of hip.
Thanks thats a big help

 

[Rae134]

haha my friends tell me I'm the Queen of Google

 

[Dreamer]

lol I'd believe it

 

[Dreamer]

Ok this is as good as I am going to get the shine I think, of course what you get in a render is dependent on your lights but this gives a good idea of the places you'll get the metallic bloom

Now I can go back to fixing the seams on the creams and packing them up

 

[carmen indorato]

nice work.

 

[Mythocentric]

Definitely going into my must-have list. What magnificent, beautiful animals!

 

[Dreamer]

I have just picked up the unicorn on sale so am adding support for that too.

 

[Mythocentric]

Good to hear. I can see a horse fit for my Elven characters to ride....at last! Regards!

 

[Dreamer]

I haven't forgotten this, just been rather sick and getting some thing else through QV, ( its here if your interested DreamWeaver Design's Products at HiveWire 3D ), now that's done and I am feeling better I am back at the coats. Will get you some sneak peeks of fetlock options soon

 

[Pendraia]

I hope you're feeling better soon Dreamer...

 

[Dreamer]

Thanks Pen, I am feeling better.

Fetlock option

 

[FairyFantastic]

great work dreamer

 

[Desertsilver]

Glad you are feeling better!

I too love this breed- though you need a lot of room to keep them happy. I really like how the coat is coming along and will definately be buying it if you put it in the store!!

Slowly getting closer, Poser files are all done just need thumbnails, still need to fine tune and set up the DS files
