After trouble finding stuff in DAZ and with help from Alex, I managed to find it all again, and made some horses. For more reality, more poses and colors are needed, but it's ok for starters and distance.

Looking really good. Did you say you made the horses?

[archonforest]

wow very cool stuff!

[Dune]

Making is a big word; I posed the Millenium horse in DAZ, and made a few objects, added some color variation and done. I am trying to morph tarpans out of the horse, seen in distance, so it should be near, not perfect. Recoloring the textures now.

Below is the last real tarpan, which I believe is extinct.

Last.

Wow, beautiful! Very realistic and great lighting. The horses' poses look very natural as well.

Is cool, O_o. ^^

[archonforest]

Great scene!

[Kadri]

Looks great.Those two horses add quite a dynamic to the image Ulco.

Exquisite! The lighting is masterfully sublime. The horses are placed so naturally within that splendid environment that one immediately knows that they belong: a seriously wonderful image!

[Lady of the Lake]

One word:  Amazing.

[alessandro]

Very good Ulco!

Agree with everyone else, that last sunset/sunrise image is gorgeous! One of the most natural-looking use of animals in a TG scene I've seen lately.

The horses are interesting, they look kind of stocky, like Icelandic horses are today, hehe. Which makes them cute in my book.

Thanks guys, this DAZ stuff isn't so bad at all for these kind of renders. I made it easy on myself by just using a file of my Roman watchtower, deleting them and replacing some trees. It has an extra sun at high altitude without shadows, for some more light on the horses. And localised low cloud for the mist.

One question: you mentioned you have an extra sun for making the horses a bit brighter. I'm curious if increasing the "Strength on surfaces"-value of the environment light instead of adding another sun without shadows would make the lighting even more natural?!
