Hooves On Ground Question - Stamping...

[troy]

Been awhile since I've carved a horse as part of a landscape and can't for the life of me remember if to imitate its hooves being on the ground you should either bevel the ground beaneth it or of the hoof where it meets the ground.

To make it look like the hoof is on the ground, double bevel the area where the hoof meets the ground.

[JLSleather]

Both.

Hard ground, I think you should double bevel as previous posters. If it is in soft ground, some of the ground would be above the hoof, hiding part of the hoof, so would bevel the hoof to push it back. That's my thoughts, others may have a different interpretation.

thanks for the comments. When you say double bevel, I'm presuming if memory serves that that means bevel the hoof and the ground where they meet?
