Hello,

I like that, what are you thinking of doing with it? I'd also like to know where you got the texture map from too. Cheers,

Mat.

Hi
happymat27
I'm just palying around to see if I can get a small animation done.

The textures maps are my own, made from a low pixel digital image.
====================

Added the Ears
Played a bit more with the texture and lighting.
Now to sort out the Mane & Tail.

I think it could look more broad around the front "shoulders" I don't think it could support much at the moment. The ears also look a little funny at the moment, but maybe that's just me I don't have any reference infront of me at the moment.

I have to agree with Alan... I think the ears should be rotated a little outwards, and maybe the nostrils should be a little closer together, because the snout (?) seems a bit wide IMO...

Other than that, nice modelling and great textures...

The nose is looking alot better, but the ears are still a bit wrong IMO... They should be facing sideways some more, but I'm not that much up-to-date on my horse anatomy, so I might be wrong user added image
