Test Animations for T-Rex and Dragon

Modeled in wings, mapped in Blender, rigged in poser, animated in poser . . . shudders. Not an easy program to animate in, and be it I'm just learning animation . . . . well you get the idea. These two beasties will at some point engage in combat, but not yet. The trex rig is not yet complete, and even the dragon is still undergoing fine tuning. I know the animations need a bit more work, especially the dragon in the fingers--needs more movement.

@acornheart465 lol yeah. That was to get that sort of jiggle flesh look as it walks. In programs like maya, it's the result of a muscle system. No such systems in poser.

aaaahhhhh that was orgasmicly awesome! xxD

jokes aside, I would like the dragon (wyvern) to walk like a quadruped, just to give a bit of a credit to the pterosaurs =D If this was a feathered version (and I am no fan of feathery versions, just because the lizary look is the 'propper' one... =D), yes, I could imagine it portrayed as a bipedal beast, but all animals with membraneous wings known to science were quadrupeds, so it sounds more logical for a wyvern, but yours doesn't look like it would

@stuchly1 Heh, thanks! Heh, yeah the body shape of that one is very therapod, like a raptor. But my favorite kind of dragon or drake or whatever you want to call them is indeed one that walks with its wings like Vermithrax in Dragonslayer or the big beasties in Reign of Fire.

what a great work! =)

[Swidhelm]

@stuchly1 Thanks!

[stuchly1]

@stuchly1 tip over, it looks well-ballanced, which is the important thing =)

Again - great job! I can never hope to achieve this level of skill in this kind of thing =D

[Raegh]

Yay for birdlike dragons! :) love!

[JuulXhorse]

Wow!
