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.

Wow really well done! Especially with the 'jiggle' effect. All I notice is that the throat area seems to bounce down a little too much. Doesn't seem like the skin there would be quite that flexible, and do more of a slight side-to-side motion.

Based on documentaries/models I've seen, is still.

Really fantastic! Interesting to see the insides, too.

God, if the Syfy channel had you working for them Aztec Rex wouldn't have been so godda—

Wait... what the hell am I saying? Of course it still would have been stupid. Quality CGI couldn't have saved that film. Nothing could've saved that film.

Seriously though, their t-rex was awful. Yours is awesome.

Isn't it weird that awe-some and awe-ful are opposites instead of meaning the same thing?
