“Greed is good, greed purifies.
My fee will be based on miles travelled, dangers encountered,obstacles overcome.
If mission fails any chance of a bailout?
Is there profit sharing?
Is there an insurance plan, medical, overtime, retention bonus?
Who has to be shot for me to be in charge?
Who drives my horse?”

They’re not made of Zspheres …are they? :cool:

speech.jpg
Now we are seven.!!!
Men, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for volunteering for this dangerous and dirty job.
As you know we face overwhelming odds…freeze!
Come back here!!!
Thank you !!!
As I was saying …a dangerous and dirty job, but one that must be done. And I personally feel confident in the talent I see before me.
Someone wake Bob!

The journey will be a long and dangerous one.
As you know the bailout for intra structure has not yet reached the municipalities.

As you are aware, we have been promised food from the village, obviously you cannot drink the water and I have instructions on salmonella poisoning I will be passing out.

Please keep in mind also, that there is danger to the skin
from the sun,I will be passing out tubes of SPF 15.
Also there is the risk of chafing from the saddles, please make sure to use the baby powder provided.

I believe that with expertise of this group we stand a
good chance of returning with at least one or two!!
I had mentioned before I will be riding in the rear to make sure our journey is successful. There is a small chance that should we encounter the enemy,you may lose sight of me.

I think that covers everything. As we decided we will leave at first light or after lunch depending on how many are awake.
If there are no questions…

Brief explanation.
To me, the best part of the movie(s)/series was when the
seven were riding accompanied by Elmer Bernstein’s score.
Am trying to create a few scenes like that.
To do this, need to create seven men, horses,weapons, clothing to make each unique.
I can cheat a little because they will be group images,but…
Also will have to composite them since not too many programs
can handle this amount (each figure alone comes with over
350000 polys).
Image will be made using Poser, Vue, Maya,etc.
Zbrush will be/has been used to create variations/morphs
of figures, redesigning hats, belts, bump/grunge maps etc.
I had to create the seven first.
As I was looking at each individual, was making up
sort of a backstory…and got carried away.

Thank you for your patience, posting them was done by
request.

Ps: obviously “Frank” was not a former Mayor of San Diego,
He was on the city council.
