Poses with horses

[oscarreeve]

Hi
i was wondering is it possible on 3ds max to do a pose with a horse and his rider and if it is how do u do it

[spirit_of_rob]

Import the horse pose as required save as a max scene somewhere.

Import rider pose as required

goto file merge than merge your posed horse in manouver rider onto the horse than assign the textures

Hi
thanks, but one more question , what is the anmation for the rider

[Publius]

In your anims folder go look under 'horse_cav'

And SoR, normally I can just import the horse and anim, freeze, then import the rider and rider's anim, unfreeze, and go. Also note that horses are larger in 3dsmax proportionally to your rider than they appear in game. If you want a realistic shot of what it looks like in game, scale down your horse maybe 10-15%.

Oh yeah i forgot the scale, i usually use the save the posed horse method that way i alwys have it ready and dont need mess around doing it everytime

[oscarreeve]

Thanks, for all your help

i will post my pose tomorow and then u can say weather it is good or not

P.S +1 REP for both of u

[oscarreeve]

ok, tell me what u think

[oscarreeve]

sorry , just one more question. how do u do poses with chariots

[Publius]

horse in the second pic looks a little big (scimitar texture may need to be redone, as well), also, I must ask, are you taking screenshots in 3dsmax and then pasting them into your graphic editor? Try rendering the screen (F9) in 3dsmax if you want their in game appearance.

Chariots have their own separate model, so I imagine you'd have to import the chariot, two horses, and your unit.
