The horses are Poser critters imported as objects into Vue. The mare is the Daz charger and the foal Daio's charger foal. The stable building and the manger are my own models created in Rhino and converted to Vue objects. I shall be putting them on my 3d objects download page if anyone thinks they might like them. They should be there by the end of next week. (I have a few things keeping me busy over the weekend and first couple of days of next week.) http://www.crosswinds.net/~caroluk2/3d/

What a marvellous image!! I think you really did a fantastic job of recreating the stable and I can actually feel my nose beginning to twitch as it picks up that heavy hay aroma!! Nice one Carol! Irene

Great lighting effect on this, Carol. It seems to me like a colored pencil drawing, nice look! :)

Very nice, Carol. The head on the fola looks too large for it's body, but then again I know next to nothing about horses anyway... Great lighting here, and I really like the beams of light shining down. Great posing, too. :)

Nicely done Carol... Brava!! 8 )

heyas; too big? i think the foal's head looks too small, but i think that's partly because it's turned away from the camera. nice job, carol, it looks great :)

Thank you everyone. I agree that there is something not quite right about the foal's proportions, but I don't think it is the head. The body and legs look too solid to me. Foals are usually all spindly and leggy. Daio has the length of the legs right, but they are a bit too strong looking, and the body is too well developed. But she made him from the Daz charger which probably accounts for it, because the Daz charger is far too fat in the first place. But that is why I did not make him a very small, newborn size foal, but a half grown one. Daio has done an amazing job of making a foal - even if he is not a newborn. I would not know where to start, and I did not dare to try and fiddle with the two horses to slim them down a bit. That is way beyond my Poser capability.

Interesting.. I could have sworn I typed too small... anyhow, that's what I meant. That's what i get for posting right after getting up in the morning. :/
