I've been trying to learn 3D modeling!

eta: I should specify that I am specifically trying to learn low-poly modeling, therefore I'm deliberately staying away from detailing the mesh, subdivision modifiers, and other such things. I appreciate all the support and advice, and yeah I should've said this earlier, but what works for a model being made specifically for printing or just to be a digital sculpture will not work for mine. Thanks though! :heart:

After a couple of failed starts, I decided to try a pony because 1) no fiddly fingers and toes, 2) less uncanny-valley, and 3) ponies. I don't know why I went with Trixie, she just sort of happened!

She's still got a lot of problems, but for my very first try at seriously modeling something I'm sort of proud! Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback on tumblr, she looks much better than she did when I first started working on her. :icontrixielaplz:

eta: Adjusted her cutie mark; it's significantly less distorted now, and also not backwards! yay!

Modeled in Blender 2.49b, textured in Photoshop CS4. Cutie mark by *BlackGryph0n.

You never need to justify why you chose ponies. Ponies are their own justification. :)

This went really well, actually, especially for a first try :o
The shape and appearance is really cute, only thing i don't like is the hooves, they seem kinda sharp-edged.

Hope to see more 3D form you!

Is there anything you can't do?

Man...we gotta talk Blender ponies sometime...been really tempting to pick up Blender again to cut down on the repetition in the comic I'm making ^ ^;

nice. This is a great model. It's much cuter and not creepy than the ones on garrys mod.
You got to release this for garrys mod! It bet ya a lot of user would like to replace those old ones with better models.

I love how smooth it is! So many of the 3D ponies out there are too blocky, but yours looks PS3 quality! :D
