Description
I've always wanted to do an updated version of my "Some Enchanted Evening" that I did originally over 2 years ago now. I also thought it would be a good opportunity to test my Mane N' Tail Pack which is very close to completion now. Glad I did some testing as I did find a few things I want to tweak! I spent all day Sunday working on the highly detailed and illustrated Tutorial I will be including in the Pack. (I *HATE* writing:) So I hope you enjoy. I had a lot of fun working on this, as well it was immensely helpful in my effort to make my first Product the best I can possibly make it. Check out the larger view to see the detail in the mane and tail.
Production notes: Daz Mil Horse posed, morphed and rendered in Poser 7 (I will bore you all some more and say again how much I just love P7! SOOOOO much better than P5.) I tried an experiment on the tex map for the unicorn to try to get a silvery sheen to his coat and it came out far better than I hoped it might. (Anyone want to guess what I did?:) The background is made of all Daz products- Ruins of Alecto, Woodland Realms, and the vines I took from LB's Beanstalk. (An interesting aside- I also used the Ruins of Alecto in my original, rendered in P5, but P7 did a so much more lovely job of rendering it in much finer detail than P5. That was also a nice surprise!) The mane and tail were done in Photoshop CS and are 95% from my Mane N Tail Pack. (The one bit of forelock over the unicorn's eye is new)

just wonderful good luck on your project shadow
A stunning, absolutely beautiful render! Certainly one of the very best renders of a unicorn (if not THE best) that I have ever seen. A truly marvelous follow up to the first Some Enchanted Evening (also one of my most favorite unicorn renders!) Your unicorn seems so real, it seems almost to breath, almost as if you could reach out, and feel his silky hide under your hand! The image, the wondeful color, the use of light and shadow, the setting, the feeling of powerful, fluid motion in the unicorn, the entire package goes into making a real masterpiece! A truly supurb render! Your work just gets better and better. Many, many thanks for sharing it with us.
Great render, the hair painting is superb :) And LBAMagic Daz Studio is getting a material room then watch out lol. Angela
WOW AND WOW! WHAT AN AMAZING RENDER. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT GOES INTO CREATING A NEW PRODUCT. ESPECIALLY ONE THIS GRAND AND COMPLEX. I JUST MIGHT GET INTO HORSES IF THIS IS HOW WONDERFUL THEY CAN BE! GOOD LUCK.
A super unicorn image and beautifully created with all the detail. I too am curious about the texture you used to get that sheen.
