Description Yay, finished my Majungasaurus including the textures and the rig.
Oh, and it is NOT for Prehistoric Kingdom, but a part of my own 3D exercises.

These two are female (left) and male (right) in the breeding season and the male is stretching his body in order to perform some elegant poses, which shall impress the nearby female. Apparently, he deems worthy enough to be inspected a bit more closely, thus the female Majungasaurus comes slowly closer to her suitor.

The Majungasaurus were modeled and rendered in Blender, while their textures were done in Gimp. This shot also got some treatment in Gimp.
As always, I thank you for looking at this render and I also thank you for faves and comments

Thank you much. Unfortunately, I'm not a developer for Ark: Survival Evolved, so we have to hope, that one will show up some time later.

Thank you for your praise
I experimented with some topologies to get the shape of them right and natural looking.

Thank you much! I tried my best in doing justice to the Majungasaurus' anatomy.

You're welcome

Uhu, you did it well. I see him pretty often with normal proportions, but it's nice that you've made that snake-on-legs-thing-dinosaur like he really is.

Oh, thanks.
I once read a comment on deviantArt, where Majungasaurus was described as a sausage on two legs

This one is really stunning and superb modelling and work on it, much more realistic than your previous ones. Also backgrounds are better.
Can only wish him luck with getting her, attracting any female is almost impossible in my experience

That's really inspiring to hear, that my progress is visible to you and others, because it gives me the impression to be on the right track. The background is a HDRI map from openfootage.net, which provides extra lighting information without having to recreate a similar light in Blender with the available lamp types. But, sometimes I don't have such a map and then I have to use the photos I took with my phone's camera, which only produces mediocre quality images.

Well, I hope the Majungasaurs become a happy couple, I wish that to all of my dinos  Hmm, looking back at my life then I've to say I never got such a kind of attention, well, and I wouldn't probably know how to deal with such a situation Maybe, I've too much fear of being rejected and then being an outcast again, which wouldn't contribute to the trust in other people.

Incredible job! It is really a step up from before! I love the detail on the feet, head, mouth, and especially the teeth

Aww, thanks
For this model I experimented with few other modelling techniques and it seems as if these things paid off. The teeth are a separate mesh, so I could give them some gloss.

You should be proud tbh haha, the shading makes it look like it is from Walking With Dinosaurs

Aww, that's so flattering to read your praise. I'm also impressed, because the picture reminds you on the Walking With Dinosaurs series

Thank you for the compliment. I use separate meshes for the eyes, teeth and the body, which allows me to use different material settings. The Majungasaurus itself (without teeth and eyes) is a 5k mesh.
