Hello,
This cavalry unit was a dream of mine to model for certainly a year and a half. Why I haven’t modeled it sooner is because back then when I found this concept art - I didn’t know how to model humans/animals to save my life.
As months passed by I felt more comfortable with my skills and gave it a try. I wanted to model this whole scene in less than 50k polygons and with only two materials to make this model as NPC game asset.
This is the result. The model has even fewer polygons, and two material slots (Rider and Horse) and is rigged and ready for animation.
Hope you like it!
The concept for this model is from an artist Dario Jelušić (https://www.artstation.com/dariojelusic). Please give this guy a look when you have a chance, awesome illustrator and a concept artist!
