Yep it is Diva...

Yeah, I noticed that it's the original texture for IRay worlds...I'm not sure how I'm going to fix it. It looks good in a distance but up close it's not so nice. I'm not sure if it's a setting on Iray that I need to fix...still so much to learn with Iray.

I think its actually the texture, nothing regarding Iray (it looks low res) I wonder if you could swap it for a high res one? or you may need to render the plants/Shetland and Diva separately over a "clear" background and manually put a ground in?
(I had a cliff texture like that, and this is similar to what I had to do, I did redo it when I found an iray rock texture which worked well.)

 

[HaiGan]

People are loving the Shetland! Great renders everyone.

*Tweak*

(Yes, still uses the Shetland morph set to 0.5, now with some scaling on individual body parts.

Definitely food for thought...I rendered this overnight. I'll have to think about it...

you could always paint in one instead of re-rendering

@HiaGan I tried making a pony morph last summer and if I remember right there is a morph for PropogatingHeadScale and also for the neck thickness there is a morph called NeckThick. I think they both are in the general HiveWiveHorse parameters. You can also make the legs more slender going negative on LegBackThick and LegFrontThick.

Yes, you're very right about that. Having created those initial morphs, I know they're present. So glad you brought it up here for guidance. Though it appears that HaiGan well on his/her way to a desired result.

Gorgeous renders, everyone! Love seeing what people are making with our little sweetie pie Shet

 

[NapalmArsenal]

@Miss B WOW!! Really Kewl!!
@Lyne, exquisite render and very Welsh pony like in appearance great morph dialing!!
@Rae134 , I'm with Sanbie that makes me rather happy also!
@Pendraia, Really cute Pen!! I love her enthusiasm and fearlessness! Although, I guess if you have wings you don't have to worry about falling off too much!!
@HaiGan, Fantastic dial spinning there!!
I did a thoroughbred from Harry in the How Harry Came To Be thread very much the same way you are morphing that cute little Shet!! =) It's exciting to see what you guys are going to come up with!!

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks NA and everyone who liked my render...

 

[Miss B]

Thanks NA. It was fun trying to see if I could do it. Now I'm enthused to try the Shetland and Arabian match-up.

 

[NapalmArsenal]

Try it!!! I'm sure it will be an awesome combo!! You did mention a while back you needed to do some fun renders with Harry!! I will be looking forward to seeing some! =)

 

[HaiGan]

The foal and Shetland morphs don't combine very well- the neck does something strange- but I've given it a go! Additional filters applied afterwards for the ink-and-watercolour-y effect.

 

[Lyne]

Adorable!!

I worked more on the hind end of my "Welsh Pony" AND tried the bridle on him! With just a teeny bit of Y adjust to the throatlatch strap 95.00- it fits! woo hoo!

this is a screen capture, not a render...gosh does he look great even before rendering! Such a tribute to the team that created this pony and bridle!

Lookin' good, Lyne!

Aha! Here, I knew I had a nice photo of a Welsh sec. A around. Feel free to use for reference but please don't reproduce:


Also one of a Shetland, because they can be the cutest things ever, and because this one is called Rambo:


EDIT: Adding one one head profile of the less Arab-y Welsh type you mentioned. This one was the class winner so I think the judge preferred it too!:

Ah thanks... I'm pretty happy with my "welsh" look now, but perhaps I'll just call him a "pony" ... mainly fell in love with making Harry as a Pony ever since I saw the render that...(darn my brain) ? did with the pinto pony... so adorable... and now the Shetland makes it so easy! I LOVE MY HIVE HORSES!!

Now to only find the time.

That came out nice HaiGan. I like the drawn/painted effect.
