Simple comp test.


Added comment, 10/29/2013 - Well maybe not so simple, actually took awhile to create. It was done in Maya software with Michael Comet' muscle system (AKA mayaMuscle.) I modeled the Skeleton, then the outer skin. I tried several muscle plugins - and mostly failed - I had to simplify the original version because I made to many muscles and my computer couldn't handle it. So I ended up using cMuscle with just these general massive shapes that work under the skin to jiggle and slide under the skin. I did the rigging, cause that's just another thing I do. I created a bunch of walk/run cycles to learn and test out how to improve the rig/skin.

Well there ya go - A T.rex! I'm glad I did it.

Added comment 10/30/13 I thought I could read/reply to all the comments people made, very very nice! Thanks, I will keep trying...Now it's gone up to 31 pages though.

Please don't be mad if I missed you

It was made with Maya software you can have a free version of the rig here >>> joel3d.com/TrexSkeletonRig.htm… <<< skeleton only

11/01/13 THANK YOU for all the comments! I can't keep up, I hope you understand.

the flexing muscles give it a sense of weight, a lot of animations just sort of hover over the surface and walk along without any response to weight being shifted or placed on one leg or the other.

Such a beautiful animation, from one animator to another I give you kudos for literally giving this a try. I know that it takes a really long time especially when you want to model everything its like man you know you did a Fantastic Job, absolutely Fantastic! Good Work!

It's really awesome what you guys can do with some decent software nowindays.

I'm not sure how expensive the Mayan software actually is, but you seem to have made a really awesome Tyrannosaur with it.
Kudos go to you.
