So, be ready for eye-burning OCs in 3d now.

I've always really hated the SFM-style 3D ponies. There's something off about the proportions, especially with the heads. One of the only attempts at 3D ponies I've thought looked good was this low-poly Trixie by Egophiliac:

I really hope Disney are going somewhere with that Paperman tech. That short was one of the most impressive feats of animation and design I've seen in a long time.

On the one hand, he's there to justify a bland character who has barely any reason to exist.
On the other hand, the tantrums thrown whenever he shows up are both hilarious and depressing to behold.

ROBOT B9 wrote:Didn't they all look identical in Season One?
He looked around at his fellow soldiers. Without the enchanted plate armor, each pony had their respective coats, manes, and eyes. There was no need for superfluous uniformity outside of Equestria other than an intimidation factor. Griffons, as he gathered, were not easily intimidated. It was also the first time Fleethoof had seen the Royal Guard like this. Everypony was somepony unique now, no longer just a uniform face in a sea of copies. It really hit home that every single soul lost today was somepony special.

Considering the variety of character designs that this show used in its ordinary background ponies, I still think making the guards so similar was one of FiM's few artistic mistakes. I understand why they did it (human soldiers all wear various kinds of uniforms, so that look had to be evoked somehow), but it still has some disturbing implications when you consider that ponies can't pick their hair and coat colors in the same way that we can pick our clothes.

So you're implying a pony's role in society is determined by their mane and coat color?
If Rarity was slightly lighter and had a blue mane, she would have to be a guard...
