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

There are so many things about this that make it so impressive to me - what a great eye for detail you have. From head to tail tip this looks like it has been quite an undertaking. My personal favorites are the splaying of the feet on the walk and the movement of the throat. I have often thought that a predator with a mouth that large would need to have a throat that could expand enough to allow large um... chunks to pass through, and when relaxed your animation shows exactly how I had imagined it would move. Oh jeez I just noticed the eye blinking! Awesome... I am going to end up staring at this all day if I'm not careful.

thank you for looking so carefully.
It is interesting you mention the throat - the jaw seems to be split at the chin like a snake, could be that it spread out to swallow big chunks of food.
