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.

Absolutely beautiful, and as someone who can't even wrap her head around a simple walk cycle animation I am incredibly envious of your talent. Although watching the bouncing of the shape in its stomach is kind of making me ill...

Well, the bottom of his neck bounces a lot in the walk. I guess maybe not; it could just be fat unhindered by muscle contraction.

I always imagine these in water up to there eyes.. they are so huge it's hard to believe dinosaurs walked on land.. maybe it's the way their tale is looks like it's meant to be in the water.


Sexy animation by the way, just needs some high heels.
