At the watering hole.
3D Render by Fire AngelAbout 75 million years ago in what is now Alberta, Canada.
A herd of Parasaurolophus Walkeri make their way to a watering hole on their favourite river. Note the two males standing up to scan for predators; the predators know the herd needs to drink, so this is the most dangerous part of the day. Although when Parasaurolophus Walkeri was around T. Rex had not yet evolved there were ancestors of T. Rex about and a member of this herd would be a most satisfying meal for several Bistahieversors for example. The Parasaurolophus has always been one of my favourite dinosaurs, partly because of the goofy name and partly due to the way they look.
This is a most excellent model fully rigged for Blender and with 8k textures. I had it on my wish-list for months, hoping for a sale, but it seems the creator of this model doesn't do sales. In the end I bought it at the full price of $40 (US), making it the most expensive single 3D purchase I have ever made. Totally worth it.
I used the Blender Parasaurolophus from RenderHub, the excellent Hell creek modules from DAZ for the scenery and period correct plants, plus extra plants added in from various sources including MaxTree and Renderosity. Shaders all set up by me, I even tweaked the Parasaurolophus shaders to add a metallic sheen on the colourful male crests and added sub-surface scattering on both sexes to improve the realism. All rendered in Blender with addition of text in Affinity Photo.

Awesome render, great job. if i can give you one small suggestion, look into improving the lighting of your 3D scene, it's what can elevate your renders to the next level.
And thank you very much for your purchase, I honestly didnt realize I have to put the models on sale myself. I'll have a sale event soon if you want to purchase more dinosaur models.

Wed, Apr 22Thanks for taking a look at my gallery!
Though I would love to buy more I am unlikely to be buying any dinosaurs in the near future, partly because I have so many of them now. As well as your Parasaurolophus I have two different T. Rex models, a Bistahieversor (a smaller relative of T. Rex), an Alamosaurus, a Triceratops, an Ankylosaurus and a Dakotaraptor. Oh, and from the Dakotaraptor I made a Velociraptor. I also have very limited funds for hobbies at the moment because I have a lot of expenses coming up this year that are necessities rather than for fun.
However I have been recommending your store to anyone interested, here and on DAZ and Renderosity. I hope you sell many more of your excellent models.
A couple of suggestions: A Pteranodon would probably be popular, or maybe the daddy of them all, a Quetzalcoatlus. The is less certainty about what Quetzalcoatlus looked like because only one partial skeleton has been found, but it was certainly huge. Pteranodon has more examples found so it is easier to research reliably, and with a wingspan of around 5.6m it was certainly big enough to be a scary sight.
Have fun making any more dinosaurs you decide to make and good luck with the sales.
