    Domestication of the horse.

    Recall that I made a backdrop using Carrara's terrain modeler and realistic sky.  See here.

    Background - https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7985546/#Comment_7985546

    I put that in the backdrop channel of the scene tab and then added new elements to make the foreground.  I used my shaders from the backdrop stage for the terrains and grasses in the foreground to try to match.  Grass is Carrara hair.  People are Poser 7 Simon and clothes of steppes people kitbashed from a Genghis Khan outfit from the old Content Paradise website.  Daz charger horse.  Some replicated bison and replicated horses, and the Daz eagle.  I rendered out some multipasses so may tweek this a little.

    Very nice !!!

    +1

    Congratulations on making such an excellent terrain and sky.  Grass shading is killer.  Poses are spot on.

    Thanks for the comments.  Much appreciated.

    This video was one of my inspirations for the horse entry.  I think I have posted the link before.

    I never posted a WIP for my animation entry.  When the Challenge started, I considered using my Brash Lonergan and Moxie Espinosa figures.  But somewhere along the line I discarded that idea.  Instead, I gave the figures I used for my dragon animation some new scifi costumes and have been doing a variety of tests with non-photo-real render settings.  This is what they look like using Carrara's native Toon! part iii filter.  The hair started as Carrara dynamic hair, then I used Philemo's plugin to convert to mesh (Thank you, Philemo!).  I then applied a toon-override setting to the mesh hair so that the toon edge lines did not overwhelm the hair and turn it black.  I may change either the hero or heroine to make blonde.

    How is everyone with regards to time? 

    Anyone have any additional entries in the works?  The current deadline is tomorrow at midnight, Daz time.  (February 25th, midnight Utah MST).  Is that sufficient?  @Grimmvald?  Anyone?  I will proceed as if all on schedule unless hear otherwise.

    Twelve Hours Notice as of the Time of This Post

    (unless anyone would use more time, but on schedule as of now)

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,176

    I got an animation entered.  Didn't really finish and discovered at the end that Youtube does not like my aspect ratio.  But I had some fun and got some good experience.  I couldn't figure out the video editing controls before the deadline so the music accompanying the video is about 2 minutes longer than my prepared visuals.  Sorry.

    @3d3D - for some reason I am not seeing your full entries.  The smaller upload attachments appear but not the full entry.  I will hold off the voting until we can sort out if it is just me or a larger issue.  Could you check?  I attach an example.

    Can everyone else see all the entries?

    As artist of the image with the most votes, Headwax has agreed to coordinate the next challenge.  Woohoo!  It will be a few weeks before he has forum access again. Be patient, and then expect another cool challenge.
