A house for your horse

I was looking around for a modern style barn and didn't find what I was looking for so I made my own. Right now it's a Cinema file since that's where the animation is going to be rendered. This will be a freebie (available at my site) once I get the animation I'm working on done. I probably should make it into a figure for Poser. It would be easier to use in Poser as a figure instead of a prop. Any comments or suggestions of things to add. I've got water buckets and the feeders done, but they're not in the pics yet. I also did some hay bales.

Looks just great

Tiny ( ) posted Fri, 14 May 2004 at 6:17 AM

Looking very nice!

Edw, will it be possible to "rearrange" the stalls, slide the stall doors, having feeders as separate objects?
Can it be used in comercial renders?

That is absolutely wonderful - I'm speechless...bet you never thought you'd hear that lmao

How about some windows for the barn? Lookin' good there Ed!

Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things! ; )

Thanks for all the comments. I'm really kinda surprised there is this much interest in something like this. I like the idea of the naked Vickie in the barn with a pitchfork.:) Anyway, here are a few more pics.. a closeup of the stalls, the feeders and water buckets. To answer a few of the questions. The only restriction on a model or figure that I offer as a freebie is that it can't be redistributed without my permission. They are free to use any way you wish otherwise. The stalls are separate pieces... All the stall doors open. The feeders and water buckets are all separate objects. This style of a building doesn't have windows.... kind of pointless IMO when there are three doors and an alleyway in the building. Ed

This looks great. When are you going to have it available?

mondoxjake ( ) posted Sat, 15 May 2004 at 10:22 AM

I need to know the exact minute this goes up for grabs...I want to get it free b4 you realize the commercial value something like this might have! A very nice and detailed model, excellent work.

Looks really great in C4D, but all those small rounded surfaces are gonna translate into a gazillion polygons when converted to mesh. Still... it sure is BEAUTIFUL!

Tiny ( ) posted Sat, 15 May 2004 at 1:13 PM

Good point there mondoxjake! ;o)

EdW ( ) posted Sat, 15 May 2004 at 3:43 PM

@ron...just thought I'd post a quick pic from Poser of a stall to show that the stalls aren't very poly heavy... I figured Poser would take care of the smoothing for me if I made them right:) Ed

EdW ( ) posted Sat, 15 May 2004 at 3:50 PM

Here's what it looks like rendered in Poser

ronstuff ( ) posted Sat, 15 May 2004 at 4:33 PM

EXCELLENT, Ed! Not too many people would think to leave the smoothing to Poser (which it does quite well) Good to see that you can control the mesh conversion in C4D - I'd like to see more people manage their meshes this well! Now I can really hardly wait for the final model!!

hauksdottir ( ) posted Sat, 15 May 2004 at 11:18 PM

Looks very, very good! Things you may want to add: muck rake and place to hang it, and some pegs on a wall for hanging tack, lead ropes, and such.

freyfaxi ( ) posted Sun, 16 May 2004 at 12:04 AM

"Ooooooo...this is looking just GREAT ! Can't wait to see the finished work. Eeer...whats the flooring like ? Do we have loose straw floors for inside the stalls ?

Well, it's not the barn.... but I thought this might give some of you something to play with:) The stall front is a figure with the rest of the pieces parented to it. It is mapped, but I didn't include them in the zip Hope you find this somewhat useful Ed

ronstuff ( ) posted Sun, 16 May 2004 at 1:30 PM

Thanks Ed! It looks great in Poser.

freyfaxi ( ) posted Sun, 16 May 2004 at 4:30 PM

Thanks muchly

EdW ( ) posted Mon, 17 May 2004 at 8:11 PM

Just thought I'd post a couple of pics of the building and stalls in Poser. There's no textures, just some colors on these. The building is a prop with moveable doors. The stall front is a figure. There is a right open and a left open door figure. The stall divider is a prop. I only put one stall in the pic. I'll leave some of the work to you guys as far as placing and number of stalls :) I should have this ready and one my site sometime this evening. Ed

a last pic rendered in Cinema. Still trying to make up my mind what to use on the floor for a texture.

hauksdottir ( ) posted Mon, 17 May 2004 at 9:19 PM

Stone? Brick? It would wash clean and wouldn't buckle under moisture.

movida ( ) posted Mon, 17 May 2004 at 10:42 PM · edited Mon, 17 May 2004 at 10:52 PM

the stalls would be dirt with straw or wood shavings bedding - a mare with a foal would get straw; horses shouldn't be housed on concrete or brick or asphalt etc., very bad for legs/feet (like seriously bad)

the aisles would be either dirt, concrete or brick - all the large barns I've ever seen were any of the above -

Thank you so much Ed - if only I could house my real live horses this well :)

The barn and stalls are available at my site. I didn't put all the stalls together for you:) gotta leave something for you to do... @movida... This is actually what my own barn looks like.. we used wood chips almost exclusively for bedding... easier to clean up and dispose of than straw:)
