Still working on the elementals series. Here we have water.

Love the glow!

Glassy horsies! Did you use the backlight shader on the hair?

Glassy horsies! Did you use the backlight shader on the hair?

no, the shader for the hair is the normal Iray shader, I just used opacity at... maybe 50%? And they should be more watery than glassy but that is difficult to differentiate. It has a refraction for water though. I could turn up the refraction even more, but then they would become quite transparent and much of the effect would be lost. I might do different refraction styles though. Still at the beginning of things.

 

[FreyrStrongart]

to give an idea how the shift of light changes the texture. The left horse has a refraction map with a fairly medium grey to black for the water reflection effect. The right horse has a fully cranked up reflection and the refraction map to a very light grey, meaning it is highly transparent. The purple color in the right horse is purely due to the refraction. Personally I like the left shader better, it seems to me more watery. I might consider turning down on the green translucency though.

 

[Miss B]

I have to agree, as I like the left shader better as well.

Hippogryph testrender
This is just a preliminary, the texture is still in its initial stages. I still need to think about the tail, and there will be feathers on the neck to add a bit of fluff. I hope to make part of the additional feathers d-force but I don't know yet whether it will work.
The horse texture is applied on a geoshell, which means it is easy to change the horse body texture. The feet are wearables, as is the head. The wings do not belong to the set. I think there are enough wings available, like the wings for the HiveWireHorse that it is not necessary to add another set.

 

[JOdel]

I like the head a lot. It would certainly be easier to work with than my Frankencritter.

 

[Miss B]

Looks to me like you're off to a good start.

 

[Dakorillon (IMArts)]

That is going fantastic!

 

[FreyrStrongart]

I like the head a lot. It would certainly be easier to work with than my Frankencritter.

I hope so too. But getting the textures to merge seamlessly is a bit of a tough load C4D is playing silly bugger with me at the moment. But I'll get there.

Frost forms such exquisite patterns! I thought it made a wonderful setting for a unicorn.

I just wanted to share, it's been a while. This is my first render of 2020. Silly little foal comes splashing around this peaceful watering hole. Gotta love the Hivewire 3d horse.

 

[Miss B]

A great render Dollmommy. Thanks for sharing it.
