Velociraptors protecting their nest

So this is the scene I have been working on for the last 2-3 days on and off (I have modeled the raptor some time before). Pretty much everything was modeled, rendered and composited in Blender just some very small post production things in Photoshop. This is pretty much the biggest scene I have ever made. The ground was made with particle generators using weight painting and the trees were made with the Sapling addon.

Bookeh and mist are added in compositor using the “mist” pass.

Let me know what you guys think!

Ps: This is my first post on this forum!

amazing work, the scene looks pretty amazing, specially the trees
the raptors looks awesome, and i only have few notes
the scene looks a little bit darker, the only thing i focused on was the light brown mist at the background, i think you should add some light more to the scene, like maybe add a sun light going through the trees from the right, i think it would make a focuse to idea of the img also my be use some DOF

Hey alf0,

Great points!

I have been hard at working tweaking the whole scene to make it look better.

Here’s what I did:

  • added camera DOF
  • redid the whole ground particle system with more variation
  • tweaked the trees a tiny bit
  • redid the whole lightning for the scene. Using a different HDR map now with an added sunlight for a bit more light variation.

What do you guys think?
