Dinosaur-Walk Study Using 3D Imaging

Ceratopsian Forelimb Carriage and Locomotion Study Using the Vagaceratops irvinensis (CMN 41357) Model

This award-winning scientific animation shows three proposed walking postures of the dinosaur Vagaceratops irvinensis.

It was created by Alex Tirabasso of the Canadian Museum of Nature's Arius3D Imaging Centre.

The visualization helped museum palaeontologists conclude that an intermediate walking posture is the most likely for this horned dinosaur.

The animation received the National Geographic Digital Modelling and Animation Award at the October 2010 meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology.

Thanks @naturespaths ... I'll make sure Alex Tirabasso (the digital artist who created this animation) gets your comment. :)
