"Serengeti". Image done using multiple techniques. Landscape designed in Terragen3, grass on the front kindly provided by Jan Walter Schliep, acacia's and baobab designed by me, bushes from XFrog.
Distant grass has been created with the Look at my Hair plugin and exported in Terragen; same procedure with the animals (fur not really much visible but I swear it's there). Now, yours is the duty to comment and spot the animals there...
Nice pic................looks like an oil painting. :)
Very nice work Alessandro :)
Very clean and crisp render.
Like on FB, I'd like to ask here too what settings you used and if you can show the raw result as well to see how much of the beauty is native?
Animals look great!
Looking forward to see your next one.
Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin,
here are the settings I used: Detail=1, AA=10, Catmull-Rom, disabled AA Bloom, 64 Atmosphere samples, Bounce to the Ounce=2, Soft shadows disabled. These are the most relevant settings.
This is really beautiful and colorful. Very nice atmosphere. Well done !
I think you should try with detail at 0.75 or 0.8, you would gain much render time and see almost no difference in the details.

Truly a work of art, this is beautiful.
Very nice indeed, Alessandro. The lighting and attention to detail is superb.
I like the feeling it gives. Sweet !
Very nice ... one comment about composition: space should be in front of elephants and not behind

Thanks Luc, sorry I'm not sure I understand: you mean the elephants should be more on the back?
Ciao Alessandro, this is really amazing! i like the athmospere of the scene and the light, and excellent works on detail!

Thanks a lot for the comments. I'd have liked to have more diversified grass on the front, perhaps mixing more populations; also, I wanted to put many more animals, like a pack of wildebeests far away, giraffas, maybe two lionesses hidden in the grass, but I did the project in about 3 hours, to relax, and at some point I decided that was it.
Once is rendered and posted, I rarely get back and work more on it (lazy guy).
Stunning sky and superb lighting. The animals and trees/ vegetation look great too.
Yes or you could just turn them in order they walk in the other direction.. here one example:

Really beautiful. It has indeed a painterly look. Did you use additional lights?
Nope, only 1 sunlight and 1 enviro
Since some folks asked, here is the project file containing atmosphere and raw terrain.
Fantastic render, great composition ;)
Thanks a lot for all the comments folks, really appreciated. TG is an excellent software, I hope there will be more features being added along the course.
really nice, I like the mood and of course the animals.
Nice lighting and resulting painterly effect,especially on everything that's
not clouds.
The elephants have something to them that appears to be wrong,although
I can't say what exactly.
