// Lions

Just an illustration with the lions.

I used Maya for modeling, MR for rendering and Shave and Haircut for fur.

Textures, compositing and postwork with Photoshop.

The original image resolution is 3800×2375 and it took forever to render it out!

For the main pass I used medium quality render settings with FG and DOF.

The shadow raytracing quality wasn’t high enough so I had to do some postwork to fill some “black” pixel.

I blurred some hard edges and make some correction to the contrasts and color gamma.

Finally I ‘ve rendered the occlusion pass in separate parts and composited in Photoshop.

Tools: Maya, MentalRay, Shave and a Haircut, Photoshop
