@BunnyCat  
but hes right\  
if your opinion isnt the same as his you hate ponies\  
go away troll\

@Background Pony #E512  
well 2snacks is an animator, he’s the one who has done all those Two Best Sisters play and done tons of animations for the Super Best Friends Play, that’s what he does for a living

well, 2snacks is one hell of a 3D animator, I gotta give him credit for that. The movements, the expressions, the little exquisite eye motion details and the timing of everything, this is close to show quality stuff, if it was done in CGI.
 
nah, on second thought, with a little touches by an editor this is most definitely that of equal to show quality.
 
 
@Percy Technic  
I second this comment.. people have absolutely no idea how much tideous effort goes into every little tiny weeny little small point of a surface goes into 3D modelling.
 
that’s not even the worst of it though, the hardest part of this specific procress is making a 3D model that moves organically and Moves well as a cartoon character. That is hard as fuck and only the most experienced of animators would have an easy time dealing with that monumental task..  
this model could be better, but making it better requires so much trial and error for a fan, it would be better for them to just do their own thing and actually get paid for all that effort and time sunk into a good and organic MLP model.

This doesn’t seem to be something that would be used in a game animation. I don’t know what the overall polygon count is, but this seems far too detailed to be practically used in a game engine, beyond a pre-rendered cutscene. In addition, this model and rig seems very, VERY thorough, as if to literally cover everything within a reasonable range of expectations, animation-wise.

aww yeah, 2snacks! So, he redid everything from scratch, huh? That’s dedication

@Hugobertington.Esq  
But you ARE that guy! Don’t you remember?

@Hugobertington.Esq  
What people forget is that there’s a far different scope of what SFM/GMod ponies are meant for, and what these rigs are for. You want to have near-accurate models that render in real time? You’re going to have to give up some of the facial skeleton aspects that would drastically slow down rendering and stick with at least being able to make good expressions with eyes, ears, and mouths - ala what the SFM ones do. You want finer control for non-real time rendering project? That’s what these Maya models can do.
 
The SFM models are very good for the job they are meant for, and should not be something to sneeze at. They’re also eons easier to use (fewer skeleton joints, etc.).

Who made the original GMOD/SFM pony models that everyone and their mother is harping on?
 
Cos I’d hate to be that guy right about now

To the people talking about how bad the Source pony models look like. Well yea they do look a little weird. But starting from scratch or doing super high poly models takes way too long to redo. I would but I’m more of a static prop maker not organic. This model is amazing and does have a lot nicer flexes than the pony models + better overall mesh. But remember. These are in a 3d program and not a game engine like source. These ponies will always look better than the ones we have for use in SFM/Gmod.

@Background Pony #11AD  
Okay, now I see what you’re talking about.
 
Other than that one goof though, still good.

Someone should use 3D rendition ponies like that for a MLP live action/animation film. Anyone agree with me?

So is 2snacks about to win Derpibooru here?

This must be the best 3D rendition of ponies ever!

@BunnyCat  
>implying BPs are not trolls and are always serious

wow! this just might be the most upvoted picture on derpibooru I’ve ever seen

@BunnyCat  
i know your pain

@Background Pony #11AD  
oh my god . whatever.

@Scrounge  
But that leg still perpendicular to the ground, even though remaining legs are tilted.  
@BunnyCat  
I’m not sure if you feed jokers and keep deranging thread on purpose  
 
or…

@Blissey1  
it just pisses me off that because my opinions are different than theirs, then Im the bad guy. It’s stupid.

@BunnyCat  
You really shouldn’t take bp trolls so seriously

@erikngn  
Nappa: Wha- really?  
Vegeta: Yeah, kick its ass Nappa.  
Nappa: Yay! HAAAAAAA- HHHHNNNNGGG!  
Vegeta: That doesn’t seem right. Wait, wait, wait! Nappa!  
Nappa: WHAAAAAAAAT…  
Vegeta: I had the scouter upside down. It’s over 9000. Rah.

ITS OVER ONE THOUSAND!!!

That’s because she’s just pulling away rather than stepping back, it looks like.

Her back leg doesn’t move when she backs away
