Sorry - was some days offline... had a new idea how to realize an old project.
Since Ulcos work on his herd of reindeer I have a new weird dream: I want to animate a stampede in my film.
The first step is to practice a little with small animated animal populations. So I unpacked and modified my old Safari TGDs. The animation render jobs are already running.
Unfortunately I have to shock all vegetarians and vegans deeply: Grass HAS BONES!!! - 50 per tuft of grass ... (so that it can bend in the wind)
Animation still 1 (sunrise):
[attach=1]
Animation still 2 (late morning)
[attach=2]
... to be continued in the animation area
Before I forget:
all animals by 3DRT
all (original) plants by xFrog (some rigged and animated in blender3D)
