Animals in the wild - ingame pictures

[Captain Callum]

This project is a long project of taking high quality photographs of every habitat animal ingame. Yes that's a whole lot but let's get started!

Anyone who wants to participate with their own high quality (high or ultra graphics) habitat animal pictures please send me a forum message to prevent this thread from getting bloated. Credit will be given for each submission , with over 100 animals and likely growing I need an nice order so future visitors can easily find each image

Each image entry is subject to change according to further research and feedback

Woah, ha ha ha. I've never had a thread dedicated to me before .

I appreciate it, Captain

Alright lets start this long project for making realistic animal picutres for @DarthQuell . I will provide several pictures for each animal so plenty of choice to choose from.

Lets start off todays addition with the komodo dragon in the indonesian islands. I do hate how low Res the short grass is but can't do much about that

Deluxe Pack: Komodo Dragon

I think maybe Sand or Dirt would be better. Personally I would've made a Picture of it on a Beach or in a Forest

You think? I should of expanded my references then . I found lots of hill top green Island pics. I get back to it then

Interesting. Didn't know that they live in such Environments too. When I saw Footage of wild ones I think I always saw them at the Beach, in Forests or in Grasslands (I think long Grass).
Also is the Komodo Dragon in the Game a bit undersized? Doesn't look very big when I keep it in my Zoos

Yeah they are way undersize in game. The pics I took was a 67% percent male and 52% female. For reference I judged the pics from this:

alright put on the sunscreen - we are going to the beach

That's the Komodo done , choice of hilltop or beach - gazelle will be much easier

Really nice

Deluxe Pack: Thomson Gazelle

last one for the day, the hippo will take actual effort rather than me unethically throwing animals in a tiny barren habitat

here we have the thomson gazelle in the african grasslands

 

[Pentoleaf]

Great work! I might nab a few of these myself.

I like how the shadows in the first picture give the illusion of floating gazelles. xD

Would it be okay if I used these for YouTube thumbnails sometimes?
They are really good quality

Of course! All these pictures are free for anyone to use

Very cool, would love to see more!

I usually take shots of animals in zoo setting, but recently tried to make some more natural ones. I really like this Scimitar-Horned Oryx one, inspired of the real pictures of Oryxes in red sands. It can be a really pain tho, at first I wanted to include more of them, but it was really hard to coordinate so I just went with a single one, haha. Wish you a better cooperating animals!

It might be good to have a general thread of images we have made that people can use as resources.

 

[Captain Callum]

Glad everyone likes this thread! I intend to cover ALL habitat animals over the course of this project with research into appropriate habitats. For information I am not saving habitats as these could be the size of quarter of the entire map to capture the feel of nature

That's a nice picture! It does capture the feel of those reference pictures quite nicely. Most of pictures will be forced placement in the natural terrain - like I mean I move certain animals around in the habitat over and over to finally capture the best scene. The Komodo beach scene was exactly that and it really turned out well. The gazelles themselves were more simple as place 24 gazelle in a small null habitat and wait for them to 'herd' up to capture that sense of the life of an African antelope

Guess this ain't dedicated to me anymore

No, kidding. I'm not haughty like that
