Mapunto, que me he tropezado con esto y me parece una gran iniciativa. Yo hago paleoarte, que es un nicho muy chiquitín pero muy divertido y me centro en 3D, pero a veces también hago cosas de línea

Yes!

YouTube video by Adeline3d Realistic Hair Basics Tutorial

Yes, instead of particles, it is done with curves

I have used this tutorial, I hope it helps you!

And thank you for asking!

There would also be a lot of striking colors due to mating season, sexual dimorphism, status within the group, warning, communication...as we see in nature today, because that is what they were, animals in their environment.

So, in general, I think yes, there would be a lot of camouflage-oriented coloring both in the environment and among their relatives (zebras, for example, look very striking, but when they move in a group it is very difficult to differentiate a specific individual)

And we mustn't forget that we have some fossils (very few) where the coloration or traces of it are still preserved, so we even have a little evidence in this regard

(these are old models, but they serve to illustrate the idea)

In reconstructions, you have to think about what the animal was like in its biotope, what role it played there, and how it related to its environment and other organisms. There is a large element of speculation involved, but it is also very important to base your conclusions on what we see today

This is not incompatible with bright colors for specific situations such as mating season or sexual dimorphism. Many birds today have them, even those that spend a lot of time on the ground. Nature is complex and sometimes offers surprising answers

I assume that herbivores of modest or medium size would have some degree of camouflage depending on where they lived, as is the case with many animals today. Strange structures and subtle colors, as well as contrasting colors, which blur the silhouette while also serving as a means of recognition

Very interesting question, and I really think there are several answers. Did they need camouflage? Well, actually, in my reconstructions I try to place them in their habitat. This one has contrasting light and dark areas that help to “break up” its silhouette in an environment with thick vegetation

It's quite surprising how quickly things work with this method. Of course, you have to be clear about what you're looking for, otherwise there are so many possibilities that you can go crazy

A couple of renders to show experiments with hair made using curves in Blender. I was very used to the particle system and couldn't quite get the hang of this, but guys, it looks like this has a huge number of options.

PS: It's a WIP, maybe the final result will look like the second image.

Horns and studs, yes, of course!!

Quote with your art with horns!

To this we must add communities that are often small within a huge space and with little state intervention, and that is where the church occupies that space.

I see it there as an element of social cohesion and a common element in a “young” nation created from fragments of diverse cultures, and even more so considering the strength of newer movements that originated there, such as Mormons and Pentecostals.

Thank you! In the end, it's all about stopping thinking about things as “I don't know if this is going to work out,” letting go of your inhibitions, and going for it.

Or so I believe. In any case, thanks again!

A herd of Rhabdodon moves through the forest in its search for food. It is a fairly generalist herbivore that does not hesitate to feed on almost any kind of low vegetation. Its relatively large size requires a higher consumption, which makes it less selective than its smaller thin-snouted relatives

Interestingly, at around 5 m long, it is much larger than most members of the group to which it gives its name, which are small, agile, and fast, so it may be a case of gigantism.

Rhabdodon is an animal that is very abundant in fragmentary fossils, but we have little idea of its overall appearance. However, it was possibly a relatively large “primitive” ornithopod capable of alternating between bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion

It is also a relatively slow animal, so it relies on the strength of the herd for defense. Even without the herd, its 5 m length makes any carnivore think twice before attacking an adult specimen

Night falls in a forest at the end of the Jurassic, and a group of Eousdryosaurus leave their daytime shelter to begin their period of activity. Small and defenseless, this ornithopod has acquired nocturnal habits, where, sheltered by the darkness, its large eyes allow it to monitor its surroundings

Folks, shooting night scenes is quite difficult, but it was a great opportunity to speculate on the lifestyle of this little animal.

A hardworking mother xD

With Blender, you can achieve some really interesting things. The rest is just a matter of finding the right base image and preparing the models and lighting, but yes, this image took quite a bit of work, so thank you very much!
