This was a project of mine where I wanted to test my skills in realistic creature modelling.
I also wanted to se in how long it would take, and finally it took me 2 days of modelling, 1 day of UV mapping and 1 day to texture. Sadly I'm poor as hell with my rendering skills- as you might see.

From the start this was just a modelling projekt for myself- but now half a year later, I will probably try and rig it and later animate it- since my true dream is being a creature animator. But we'll see about that in the future.

I will show a couple of images, of how I was progressing, kind of like a daily report I kept back then.



The horse was modelled in maya 2010, some minor sculpting on the muscles and leg hair in zbrush, pretty unnecessary since it worked well in maya- but I wanted to try zbrush too. Uvmapped in maya, textures and normalmaps created in Adobe photoshop.

The mane was created with alpha planes, I didn't have the time- or knowledge to make dynamic hair- that is a problem I'll deal with when I decide to rig and animate it.
