Description

New render from my Savanna scene. The previous one can be viewed here.
Actually, this new POV was the starting point (in my mind) for the entire scene: The tense moment just before the cat jumps for the kill - still an open question if he'll be succesful. But I decided to build the complex view - for fun and to get a little two-step "cliffhanger". A few changes here: Different posing of the foreground deer. Vue 7.4 Complete render (nothing 7.4 specific, though). Postwork with Photoshop: Colour/levels correction, lensblur DOF (from Vue z-channel) and framing & signature.
DAZ animals, bigbraader trees & plants.
Now - referring to faroutsider's comment on the previous picture - about mixing species from different parts of the world: The cat is a jaguar (American continent - should be a leopard, but the one I've got was too low-rez). The deer has a sika deer texture (Europe - should be an impala model instead, haven't got one.) As I've stated before: If it's chosen, it's artistic freedom, and not ignorance :) Thanks for taking a look - comments etc. welcome and appreciated. Have a nice day - Lars

Great work, I love this new one, such suspense. The textures on your cat are quite good and hard to do, nice work!

Excellent DOF. Did you do that post render? One of the things I've noticed with Vue 6, that I din't notice so much with Vue 5 is that using the render engine for DOF tends to be a bit grainy.

Very cool image. Reminds me of a documentary I watched where a leopard jumped out of a tree trying to get a boar. The leopard nearly got gored and the boar took off. Well done on this one.
