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

VictorYO · 01-06-2011, 02:14 AM

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.

foredea · 01-10-2011, 12:29 PM

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

VictorYO · 01-10-2011, 03:37 PM

Now i think this is the right composition, time to start.

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,
~Shane

SCWatson · 01-10-2011, 03:43 PM

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!

XD... nice timing!... i miss that!, yes then i will be glad to make the human a bit small (maybe a little more than a bit, let me see... right now is like 2 meters height (argentinean :P), and i think he must be arounf 1,70 meters... so... doctor! ... cut smthing!

), thank you man!

Cya later guys! Peace

VictorYO · 01-11-2011, 03:58 PM

human resized, added some parts of gear and horse crest.

VictorYO · 01-12-2011, 01:45 AM

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.

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:

karmajf · 01-18-2011, 09:44 PM

ShadowPlay: Try to get the main forms in lower subdivisions

It helps a lot.

VictorYO: Very nice progress

Love the composition
