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.

Incredible work. I gotta ask: how do you derive the motion data for a creature that doesn't exist anymore? Do you build it from scratch, or do you base it on the motion data from something of similar shape (maybe in this case, an ostrich or other large bird)?

It does look amazing, but the gravity seems a little off. He's got just a little too much bounce in his step for one of the largest land carnivores to have walked the earth, you know?

I don't know. It might just be me, because, if there is a problem, then it's a really slight problem. Either way, nice work!

This is an excellent job.

all you really needed to focus on was moving muscles and breathing and you got that down excellent.
