3D Pony Renders!

Remember that 3D Pony download pack from yesterday?  Knighty took them and set them up in his personal graphics engine (yes, he has his own self built graphics engine, I 0_o'd too.)    This is a good example of what these models can do! Pretty awesome!

Oh, and he is apparently a fan of Dashiepie.  That makes him a badass in my book. 

You can find a video of the renders after the break!  Now someone hurry up and animate these for source!

Excuse me while I go pick my jaw up off the floor. I know it's around here somewhere?

ElectricZoNe said...

I was like "holy fuck that's awesome" well because it is, the power of MLP fandom lol.

Jimmy Neutron dialogue with pony visuals, must-have.

"What'd you do today, son?"

"I wrote a graphics engine. For Ponies!"

zZDarkMemoriesZz said...

Geez. We get a full 3D rendering for all these ponies, and the first thing that happens is picturing a shipping.
Fanbase, I am disappoint.

This is actually really awesome though.

NOBODY MOVE!

I dropped my jaw.

Oh, there it is. *CRACK* Ow.

So, yes. Um... Simply fan-tucking-fabulous. After someone rigs these for Source, someone will thereafter need to make an MLP Source game.

Because we can NEVER have enough Pony games. Ever.

'Tis very, very awesome. But they look so lifeless just standing there, all in the same pose. Eager to see an animation. *crosses fingers*

Geradex said...

All of my money...take it.. this is awesome!

GabuEx said...

C'mon, Pixar. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: The Movie. Make it happen.

I applaud you sir!

Skylark said...

This is definitely really impressive.

But the ponies just standing there... doing nothing... staring... is unsettling to me. It reminded me of the Elegy of Emptiness kind of.

Knighty has another Youtube account (also showing the knightengine as its called) @ http://www.youtube.com/user/knighty

I was also able to find this Facepunch page on the engine:

Simply mesmerizing. I really do hope a few of the toys and other merchandise products will eventually reflect the style of the show as well as all these 3D renders do. Props to all of you who create them, seriously!

>yfw you will never make your own graphics engine.

Feels bad man.

That's fuckin' awesome though. Hope he does something with it.

Fallin' Winter said...

Wow that's awesome. The Dashipie picture makes them look cell shaded. It's a really cool look for them if they stayed like that.

Anonymous said...

Thats GREAT. Amazing. Awesome. 20% cooler, even.

But didn't they seem a bit small in comparison to their environment? I might just be insane though.

CARRY ON THEN!

If Hasbro followed this example, the toys they would make would be gifts from pony heaven. I know it is difficult to make toys off of such stylized cartoon characters, but if people can make such amazing 3-D models, then gosh darn it Hasbro can make it in real life!!!
Amazing job!

I will say that I love how these models look. However, the fact that they almost human lips just creeps me out.

knighty said...

:o thanks Seth.

And thanks everyone for the comments.

There's a bunch more renders in here:

Kruger said...

His own graphics engine? Wow.

I'll stick with UE3 thank you very much. Still need to learn how to use it, though. But if I can remember, I'll see if I can export these into the engine. OOH, even add 'em into UT. Now that would be EPIC!

C-Puff said...

I would be SO OVER animating those!!! Sadly, my macbook's graphic card is seriously pathetic and can't run Maya or XSI :( It probably COULD but my machine would probably implode if it tried.

Sorry guys :(( Maybe if I get my hands on a friend's (or job's lol) computer that can run it I'll play around with these!

You have NO IDEA how hard it is knowing I CAN animate these.... but I can't :(((((((((

Timber said...

Ok seriously, if I was Lauren Faust, I would fund the crap out of that guy. Seriously, why is he not working for an animation studio? or IS he?

Anonymous said...

I was trying to to an animation earlier today, but after I saw that the body was all one piece, and I would have to separate the legs and joints and whatnot, I came here to procrastinate.

Luna said...

WHOOooo! WHOOooo! WHOOooo!

Also, pretty pretty shiny~

Luna said...

And that's why graphics programs now come with skeleton tools.
Maya has joins, even Flash has joints. Pretty sure Max has joints, too.

As cool as this is, it will be more epic to see a video vith them moving arond doing things.

CoffeeGrunt said...

I am SO redownloading UDK, prepare to shit brains.

My mind is now blown across the ceiling...

This is so awesome, my mind is blown ten hundered miles away.

Time to learn how to do this awesome... stuff.

The hair looks kind of plastic, but that's to be expected. The models would take forever to render with individual hairs.
Also, cell shading would make these look awesome.

Artrageous said...

Excellent job. Amazing collaboration.
