[looking for deer family] whitetail preferrably. Did intenret search and there is a buck at the R place. Might grasb that. Would like doe and fawn as well. That one place that has huge $ signs has a deer family for $1099, and a bunch of other really nice models for $300, 400, 500, etc. I'm not a huge Hollywood production studio.

You probably won't find better (certainly not for the money) than the Hivewire Horse addons at Renderosity.
It's old so you will probably have to tweak the materials/textures https://www.daz3d.com/silverkey-3d-fawn
This. There are some gorgeous deer morphs for the Hivewire Horse on Rendo. Wait for them to go on sale...CWRW goes 50% quite often. You need to buy the base Hivewire Horse and then the deer morph of your preference (there are a few)...and yes they are sold separately.
I've been eyeballing them for months. They've come and gone and come again on sale dozens of times. The horse and mule deer are on sale now. No doe or fawn to bew had though, at least I have not dound any at rendo or anywhere affordable. thre was a site , i think poser stuff, Lynn was the name, but I know she passed, but the site was around for a bit. Cant remember the name of it. she had a lot of great products. If I remmember right they were in obj format. i hav poser so it would be eay enough to set up and export to DS
It's Lynn's Creations you're looking for I think; she had loads of animals in different formats, some poseable, some static. I think they're all rather low-poly and low-res textures though. The website might still be around.
I'd also encourage you to get the Hivewire horse and add-on morphs, these animals are just gorgeous and very life-like. Does shouldn't be a problem with them, and for a fawn, you could maybe make some morphs of your own?
Edit: No, can't find the place anymore, sadly.
Example of the Whitetail for the Hivewire Horse -
Is there a huge difference in body type between a doe and a buck, other than the antlers? Yes, it is a shame there are no fawns...but there is the Fallow Deer morph...and those textures you might be able to sub in on a smaller Whitetail to fudge it.
Also, how different is a fawn to an adult deer as compared to a foal and adult horse? Meaning that you could dial a foal morph into a deer and probably get at least a passable fawn.
you sure that's not a photoshop job?
difference. I think some for sure. size and bulk, musculature.
It's got her watermark on it, so I think it's safe to assume she knows what it is.
Not sure what you mean...it's the deer model and an HDRI background. Only thing I did in Photoshop is put my watermark on it.
Thats actually a mule deer. Not a white-tail. Big difference for those nearer to the wilds.
Hivewire has a very small team with a bottleneck at the rigging point. And at the moment the concentration appears to be on Dawn 2 and Dusk 2. The shop is clsed, but the discussion forums are still active. You could post a quirey over there.
I can't say that I have the first clue about the difference, but Hivewire has a Mule Deer model and a Whitetail Deer model...and this is the Whitetail. Oh...I think I know what it is. There are separate material presets for the body and tail and I only applied the body. I assumed it was an heirarchical preset and would update them all. Apparently not. So the tail color is off. It shouldn't have any black on it. And there are also different antlers I forgot to apply. My bad!
The below is not my render, but this is the Mule model on the Rendo store page -
Yup. Those were the 2 main things. Few other various subtleties but not worth adding. And if you saw them run, OMG what a difference. But you'd need animations for that.
Anyway, glad you got.
what i meant was it looks like a photo, its that good. Sorry for the vague
Ah...thanks! Very simple lighting. Just an HDRI from Poly Haven w/ a single spot to create a highlight on the eye. I also use the in-render bloom filter as I feel that adds a level of realism a lot of people leave out of their renders (especially if they don't intend to do any postwork). Spectral rendering. If I were to do any postwork, I would have added a smidge of lens distortion and chromatic aberration as well, but this was just a quick render and upload. The render finished in about 30sec 1500 x 1500 on my 3090. (The thing that took the most time was exporting/importing the Look at my Hair OBJ.)
thanks for tips/ I bought the entire set I needed for the whitetail. We shall see how it looks soon :)
yes, that was it. I did buy quite a bit from her site, but its on some way back CD or something. The site was up for a bit, and if I remember right everything went up for free. I searched too and could not find it.
these render way nice, but I dont seem to have any hair hair ...
You could try some SBH.
Check CWRW's store. She's released a few fur add-ons for Hivewire animals. Not sure which ones. But there's a good chance that the deer are among them.
Here's my quick, lazy example:
Daveso, you will need the LAMH preset for the fur https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/cwrw-lamh-red-stag-and-whitetail-deer-presets/148364/
There is a free fawn morph for the HiveWire mule deer at the HiveWire forums, but you have to be a member to download:

I typically add a little of the fawn to make a doe.
Once upon a time I was engaged to someone who loved beer, and hunting moose (a large relative to elk). The buck tracks differ from a doe. The bucks tracks are wider. He also has a shorter snout and neck. Their head (forehead area) differs between the ears. Juvenile Bucks are often mistaken for adults because the juveniles are larger than an adult female. The doe has a longer body. The bucks is more squarish. The does ears flop whereas a bucks are shorter and stiffer. The fur color differs. Depending on the season males may have white patches on their tails unlike does.
The mule deer (usually in Alaska) do have a narrow white tail with a black tip (and larger ears). White tailed deer is all white (never in Alaska) and is smaller than mule but bigger than a Sitka which has a very dark brown/blackish tail (also found in Alaska but more towards south eastern area). Also sometimes the lingo differs. In Newfoundland (North America) we called them Moose while in Britian (Europe) some called them Elks.
Edit: Googled after posting. Califorina differs.Black tailed western California has a white tipped tail according to this.
thanks . will grab that next sale, which is pretty often over there. I thought LAMH was for 3Delight
It is, but CWRW has been experimenting with later versions. I don't know whether the version linked has the Iray settings or not.
