hey guys,

im gonna try and molel a horse?!?!?!?!?!?!? :eek:

i was thinking of starting with the head and then working down ect. :rolleyes:

would it be a good ideal to :no:

add a mesh - plane
subdivided it once
delete on the left side
then add Modifier - Mirror

so i get a subdivided plane thats mirrored on one side? :yes:

would that be the best way of starting modeling the horse’s head? :confused:

or its there a better way??? :cool:

yes, that’s the best way. Leave the ears and eyes as a separate meshes. Use good reference pictures as backdrops.

Papasmurf, just out of curiosity: I understand why one would make the eyes as separate meshes, but why the ears? wouldn’t one to want them to connect to the head, rather than just sit on it?

I understand that he is considered to be, how to say, rather attractive
I myself prefer the ladyfolk though, so I can’t really give an opinion…

This is an old horse tutorial-walkthrough:

@Oblivion: The way cats and horses can turn their ears, it is much easier to animate with an IPO rather than a shape key. And if you get detailed, ears can be so tricky and intricate, like human ears, it’s less frustrating to do them as a separate mini-project.
