Spirit as a Foal

3d model created for Spirit Stallion of the Cimmaron by Dreamworks. Reference created by James Baxter.

This 3d model was a digital double of the hand drawn foal to be used interchangeably. It was rendered out with a toon shader so there are harder planes and edges than a real horse would have to emphasize the lines that were on the hand drawn character.

Spirit as a foal for Dreamworks Spirit movie.  Rendered in the movie with a toon shader to match the 2D animation.  Design by James Baxter I believe.
