[QUOTE=Glance;28741058]Its a TV show?[/QUOTE]
Yea, I think its a skit from Robot Chicken. I think they used to show it on adult swim...
Robot Chicken really needs to do a parody of Friendship is Magic. It's right up their alley.

Or they could do both. Parody the show, then zoom out to show some grown men watching it.
Wow this is bad ass.

Done a lot on my model so far. Basically only need the head to be done with the typical model, but it's damn difficult. Doing the head in Max instead of Maya for Max's edge-clone ability that does wonders for edge-loops.
Main problem is the damn eyes. I'm trying to make the sucker face and eye pose-able, but I don't know how to do these big anime eyes given their exaggerated proportions. If this was only for rendering, I could alter the UVW coordinates of the irregular-shaped eyes, and by doing so, be able to animate the direction and size of the eyes.
In-game though, I've no idea how you would alter UVW information, or how to do eye position in any manner that doesn't involve physical, perfectly spherical eyeballs taking space inside the head. The irregular oval shape essentially makes it impossible for the edges of the eyelids to properly align with the eyeball. It might be possible to make the eyeball itself more oval, but it's rotation would be restricted to looking either left or right.
I'm going to confer with the modeling crowd on FP about this, and see if it's even possible, because I REALLY don't want these models to be damned to the uncanny-valley with fixed, straight-facing eyes.
What are you modeling it for?

Well, it looks great so far. If I do say so myself.

Is it possible to make some of the eye invisible?

Hey everypony,
My name is Twilight Sparkle, and I love every single one of you. All of you are beautiful, nice, people who spend every second of their day discovering the power of laughter. You are everything good in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any recognition? I mean, I guess it's fun making new friends, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even better than any other site when it comes to making friends.
Don't be a stranger. Just talk to me. Nopony's perfect and I won't judge. I once saved all of Equestria, with the help of my friends. What amazing things have you done, other than making everypony feel welcome? I live in a library, and have wonderful friends (We just had a party, IT WAS SUCH A BASH). You are all valuable people with unique aspects that are amazing. Thanks for listening.
Pic Related: It's me and my friends. ^_^

He's gone off the deep end, lads. You know what needs to be done.

[quote]What are you modeling it for?[/quote]
Why, GMod, naturally! Not that they can't have other uses.
[quote]Well, it looks great so far. If I do say so myself.[/quote]
Thanks! Not totally satisfied with it. It LOOKS good, but I'm concerned about how the hind-legs will perform once rigged. Was hard to tell where the haunches ended and the thighs began.
[quote]Is it possible to make some of the eye invisible[/quote]
You'd think, but any alpha-map I might apply for that purpose would be bound to its object's UVW coordinates. Basically, the part of the eye made invisible, STAYS invisible, and vice-versa.

What if you made larger invisible round eyes with the real eyes being inside them and smaller and attached to the larger one. That would be a last resort of course.
So how many seasons do you guys think FiM will get?
I know nothing about modeling so that's all I'll say about it.
Good work BTW.

This is probably going to be the only one.

No no, you see, typically if a character model has rotating eyes, those eyes need to be entirely spherical so that they appear the same shape when they look in different directions. Given the steep curvature of pony eyes, the eyeball would be only barely smaller than the entire head, and the shape of the eyelid surrounding them is too incompatible with a true spherical eye anyway. The eye itself either overlaps the lids, or is so far inside the head that you can see around the eye into the inside of the head.
In other words, there NEEDS to be a way to manipulate oddly-shaped eyes for this to work at all.
I'm almost considering scrapping the whole idea of dynamically poseable eyes and faking it by giving the eyes every combination of directions and sizes I can think of for alternate textures, and just summoning those as skins with a skin-swapping stool. Not as elegant or simple, but better than fixed, dead eyes.
