Daandrumz, I understand what your saying. I am trying to work with some ideas like tendons because I think the sliding around is cool and having a basic bone structure like a horse for other reasons. But besides keeping them in mind I would like to get as clearly robotic details as I can. Its just taking me a while with this to get down to the details on some things. I might look more in to like ghost in the shell for some ideas. ETC..
btw every one.. have any ideas or comments? I'm all ears.
Question... Anyone know if and what the benifits would be in making this character big in the scene. Right now it stands to the head at 15.7 units off the ground. I have seen some other stuff around where there characters are huge compared to the grid. It does seem to help with cam work when working on detailed stuff up close. Any other reasons ? I think I remember kurt once mentioning in a tutorial that cloth worked better..

Its a time of war. Much like the Terminater in the movie of the same name. These robotic horses get a outside living skin to disguise themselves.
The story: They wait in storage untill called upon. At that time they are given targeting data and have a small nuclear bomb loaded in to an open place in there belly. They then go on to get a living skin put over there outside to make them harder to detect. They are released as close as possible to the target with out detection. Then they gallop, trot, what ever they can , to make their way to the target. Evading people and electronic detection and BOOM ! Detonation in the target area. Probably a millitary base or factory setting.
A new take on the Trojan horse.
I hope to have a couple little story board pannels up later but because of the time required to do minutes of animation, a full blown animation before the end of the challange is out of the question. A small snip to give the idea could be possible.

About the hoofs.. LOL np.. acualy I'm like old telephone... hummm terning my head sideways.. squinting.. oh,, yeah. I do see it some.. LOL Not really sure how else i would do them. I tryed to make them funtional. Didn't think just solid blocks were right, had to hallow them out some otherwise there's to much un-nessisary weight, etc. And if your refuring to the round cut outs in the top to hollow it out.. I was thinking about makeing them more squarish.. think that would work ? I might try it just to see.

I would love to see an animation before the deadline
...I think that would crank it up a lot, even if it's not top notch per se, just for fun.But I like it a lot; if I see the final participants in the contest, I wouldn't like to be a judge...
