Mordecai's ride

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Monday, January 11, 2016, In : WIP 
Hey all!!

After so much work, it's hard to see him finally on the horse, but immensely satisfying. GOD is awesome!!! :D


He looks great and he looks like he's having a blast - which is what I believe it should look like. It was an honor GOD bestowed on him as part of his vindication from the hands of Haman.

There are still a few things to fix here - such as the horse's front legs' weight painting. The bones specifically. The cloth below the saddle doesn't have strong enough weights, so when the s...

Turn that table

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Saturday, January 9, 2016, In : General 
Hey all!

Initially, I had the horse rotating on a platform, but because of issues with the one front leg on the ground, I just attached everything else to the platform he's on and now everything is rotating except the horse, but you wouldn't know it, unless I told you, which I now did, hahaha.

Anyway, this is how the horse looks when rendered using the viewport in Blender:



This animation, as if you didn't notice, is called a turntable. Mostly these are used to show off a model. Think of it as ...

Leg Fixed

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Wednesday, January 6, 2016, In : WIP 
Hey all!

Yesterday, I shared some progress with you all about the horse and his legs, the front ones particularly and today, I get to share with you, what they look like fixed!


(There was no issue with the rig)

The problem came in with how the front legs were modelled. Usually, horses have front legs that have the individual parts distinguishable by really prominent joints, so you could say all the individual pieces have an almost hour-glass like shape (thick>thin>thick). After thinning out the ...

Horse WIP continues

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Tuesday, January 5, 2016, In : WIP 
Good day everyone!

I have another post for you all today on the horse - yes, it's still not done and when you see the image, you will know why, hahaha.

As many of you know, horses have legs that move a certain way. If their legs don't move that way, they look funny. Through a lot of reference, GOD has helped me put this render together, after some serious rigging (and it wasn't even done yet!!):


(Still some adjustment that can be made to the weight painting to make it look better, but you would ...

Horse WIP

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Friday, January 1, 2016, In : WIP 
Hey everyone!

Today I got to work on the horse again and GOD was so faithful, as usual, haha, and I'm so happy with the results. I tried giving the horse more typically anime eyes, but that made it look more cartooney and character-like than a functional horse. So anyway, while there is still a solid amount of character in the eyes, they are not nearly as cartooney as they get when you add those black outlines, haha.

So without further ado, I'm going to let you see it below, starting with the v...

Horse progress

Posted by Marius Oberholster on Tuesday, December 22, 2015, In : WIP 
Hey all!

When we last left Mordecai, he was absolutely horseless. That means his voice was clear, hahaha, no. The king's horse had to be brought for him to ride on. He already got the king's outfit and now was the time for the horse to be given as well.

Since the king doesn't even exists as a character on my PC yet, he was in no position to own a horse, so I had to make one, haha.

These are how the horse progressed to it's current wip status:





And finally, where it is as of this morning!


There are ...
