    Default perfect!


    very nice subject indeeed, right now reading and researching about the features for the model.

    Thank you guys!

    EDIT: quick research about alexander, bucephalus and some gear, looking for the feel, and the model from my perspective must involve the horse, and detalis... a lot of work

      Default Planting the horse, base shape


      Right now im trying to have the right position of the horse, he is the main figure because determine the pose of Alexander (mounted) and all the accesories.

      Its a rought, but is the first approach.

      Have a good new day of this new year, and peace!

        Tentatively considering this challenge. Would be nice to do something that is a little more realistic in nature. Looking up some reference right now. We'll see what happens.

          Smile Nice topic!


          It would be really awesome! By the way, I'm wondering that may I make Alexander the great Sci-fi version?

            hey foredea -- sure! you can throw a sci-fi spin on him, but he's *got* to be recognizably Alexander The Great. If you can do that, and still make it sci-fi, go for it!


            Best,

            VictorYO -- love the composition. Keep in mind that Alexander wasn't really a big guy, so you may want to check his proportions against that of the horse -- otherwise, love the composition!

                  Nice shader, love it ... ok, focus, now working on the parts, i broke the human body in 5 parts , legs (each separated), arms and head.

                  Working on the head right now in lvl 4 subds, the compo has shield an some adds for the horse too.

                  Peace!

                    Default My entry


                    Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I decided to participate to this challenge. My work up to now, at this moment made of 2742 triangles. I started not long ago since I discovered the existence of the challenge a bit late. I intend to work mostly with 3dsMax but I will also be trying to put in more detail later on:





                    And Ill be following mainly this as reference but will try to make it my own the most I can:
