Title: Lions
Name: Massimo Righi
Country: Italy
Software: Maya, mental ray, Photoshop

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 3800x2375 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.

I hope you like the final result:)

C&C are welcome

Every thing is just amazing in my opinion, just if you can play with the background and give it the feeling of you know forest or something :)

I love the idea, good execution as well, but...
I think a sunset would be far more expressive
well done overall
:thumbsup:

-Yeah another great image. Just the BG is too simple.
Maybe a clouds with some trees.

But the work is excellent Massimo.
Keep it up.

Impressive work, congrats:thumbsup:
I agree with others comments: a more suggestive BG could make the image even much more interesting.
But I think the overall work is excellent!

The thing disturbing me the most is that they have almost identical faces, same texture almost same model.
Apart from that quite good.
