Description
Probably should have entitled it "Over the Hill Over Kill." Heh! This is what happens when you add critters into the eco-system! Was thinking about how the early explorers of the American West saw hills and plains covered with buffalo and naturally jumped from there to an "Alien Buffalo" scene. This is the result. You definitely need to zoom this to truly appreciate it.
I'm dedicating this to Dinoraul, a wonderful Renderosity merchant who makes the most amazing realistic strange critters; not to mention dinosaurs and other extinct animals, and vegetation. You can find his store here:

Thanks, Dinoraul, for giving us such wonderful products to use in our renders.
And, while on the subject of thanks, I want to express my appreciation to all of you viewers and commentators for your encouragement and the things I've learned from you. You help me make my art better.
Supposed to get bitterly cold tomorrow night with another winter storm for the next couple of days, so I'll be trapped in the house again. Who knows? Perhaps such confinement will result in a new posting. Let's hope!
Jeremy

So when is hunting season open and what are the limits? that is how many per day and minimum draw weight and stroke on the bow/crossbow? how long is the season?
Good One Jeremy!! Stay warm & be safe..
Awesome scene :D
Very cool :)
What a herd! Wish I had ecosystem function in Vue8Frontier,would love to try something like this...one day! Nicely done Jeremy!
Fabulous creatures and creation! If I had encountered a herd like this on my way to a new land, I would probably have turned around and headed home. If my ancestors had been in charge of exploring, we would still be in caves.
it has that out of the world feeling
Nice one Jeremy!
This is cool work.
coool
Fantastic scene and creatures, a wonderful dedication!
Those are the ugliest critters ever!! I would be so terrified if I came over THAT hill! :) Oh... so Vue's "eco system" will replicate and place animals on the plane? hmmmm ! :) Really great scene!
That's a lot of critters. No wonder the ground is so barren.
