The Knight

This part of the course is giving me a lot of trouble. Organic modeling is really hard. And I don’t seem to understand the proportions or depth or something… I can make the side view look decent, but the front view is horrible… Either way, the challenge is done, and hopefully I figure out how to do this right at some point.

This is the 2nd Chess Knight i’m making. A lot easier than the first one.

This is the hardest challenge of the section. What helped me is looking at the head of a real horse…

Some people prefer the QUAD-view Ctrl+Alt+q.

This is an old example, put it here to show what I mean with this HOT-key.

That’s amazing! I didn’t even think of that. I’m going to try to model it using that view setup. Thanks for the advice guys!

I took the advice you both gave me! Thank you again. This is how it ended up looking. I’m much happier with it.

Job well done!

I don’t know if it was intentional, but you gave it quite an aggressive look :slight_smile:

PS. It’s hard to see from this picture, but take a look at the ears a bit more if you want to go for perfection…
