Share your HiveWire Horse Renders Here!

[PerpetualRevision]

Sharing my entry to the Toon contest at Renderosity with Harry (3DU Toon horse).

I voted for your entry! It's so cute and a great use of the Toon Horse!

FlintHawk suggested I share a render of my "fuzzy" HWHorse here, for those HWH enthusiasts who may not have seen it on Renderosity's Poser gallery. I also posted a render of my HWH Fjord pulling a sleigh on the Rendo gallery, but now I fear it's time for the horse to start shedding her winter coat!

------

I finally got serious about giving the HWHorse a fuzzy winter coat like my Fjords have, and this is the result!

I’d never used the Hair Room before, but after creating over 68 hair groups and figuring out how best to texture them, I’m getting the hang of it. The mane worked out better than anything I could’ve modeled, and I was delighted (and a bit surprised) to find that the hair growth props adapted to the morphs I dialed in (including a bit of Shetland and of Draft) as well as to various poses I tried. Only if the neck is bent or arched considerably can you see the separate hair growth props along the mane.

Getting the coat color right was a bit of a challenge, as Fjord horse dun isn’t quite the same as what a dun color looks like on most other breeds. So I had to apply a lot of adjustments to the HWHorse dun texture, lightening the base coat to more of a golden buff, lightening the face considerably, changing the muzzle skin to a light grey, and changing how the primitive markings were applied to the legs. Once I finally got the coat color right and did a test render, I found it a little unsettling just how much the horse looks like one of my Fjord mares, right down to the short forelock, falling-over mane, and sleepy expression!

Rendered in March 2020 in Poser Pro 11 Firefly at 4000 x 2250 pixels. View full size on my blog (which also has a photo of Ivy for comparison).

You know how much I love the Fjord you created! I am so glad that you decided to share your work here!

My sister just peeked over my shoulder & thought your picture was a photograph! She has ridden & driven them & she said the team of Fjords could out pull the team of Percherons where she worked!

Very nicely done! It does look like a photo and I am so impressed with the Poser Hair room stuff.

Here is a picture with Morning Dove that I apparently started back in 2017! I decided it was about time to get it finished!

Thank you! Hope you don't mind what I did with your dun texture I have Poser Pro 11, but I only use Firefly as it better suits my needs.

I bet I saw your Dancing Horses ride, as I've been going for years -- mainly to see the Fjord quadrille! Beth invited me to join (with either of my two Fjord mares), but I'm such an introvert that I never got around to it, and now I no longer ride, alas. And the girls (2 Fjords and 1 Percheron/TB) are in their 20's, so they're enjoying retirement! You can see photos of them here.

 

[CWRW]

Yeah I was guessing Firefly as I have not gotten Superfly to "play nice" with doing Hair Room animal fur yet. Great job!

Wow! Small world! I am just around the corner from Beth and Sandy's- I live on the corner of County Road "Fjord" That is Maerta- their first Fjord -in the pic I posted. I rode John Arthur another year and also Orinke and little Gracie other years. All those perfomances were in the 2000's. LOL I have Morgan horses.... Beth is always trying to give me a Fjord

Great pix!! And lovely horses! Thx for sharing!

 

[Carey]

Carey, this is magnificent! WOW!

I don't know if you want to hear any of this, but even if you don't I am in a bad mood today so tough, I don't care....This all start with designing a new character...the archer....I added lighting a loved the shadowing, even pumped it up a little to get some deep shadowing... I liked the character, but had no idea what to do with him. So I just started throwing other characters at him... An ogre happened by and ...well... the rest is all a childhood dream...lol Thanks for your kind words...

great poses

 

[Carey]

Still working on my hippogryph. Trying out how to create flying cycles most easily.

The take off is a full animation up to the moment the gryphon is in the air, after that individual poses can do the flying.
The landing is just a sequence of individual poses strung together and tweaked a bit. The advantage is that I can decide how fast the beat should be, by selecting the number of frames between each pose. Each wing cycle needs only three poses to animate.

Do these wings make it's butt look big or is it just me? lol

nah... it's just the angle I guess. The horse is the standard horse.

I think I've only rendered 3 things since Christmas (and nothing in the last 2 months) and I was wondering what my Kitty Pony textures would look like with CWRW's LAMH presets. Fluffy

 

[Miss B]

Nice!

 

[Rae134]

And winter coat, even more fluffiness!

Firebird Addon for the Hippogryph, this time with the head smaller and the neck shortened. I think that creates better dimensions for the hippogryph than leaving the neck at the horses length. Each bone was just shortend by 10% and the Head size morph used.
