I'll make a simple question this time, did you use sculpt for this? and was it very high poly?

[coffeewithclay]

Hey, I'm sorry not to have replied to your last question. Been quite busy. It's a just a subsurfed mesh. I exported the UVs as an image and painted them in Photoshop. "Sculpt" wasn't part of blender when I made this. Wish it was, though. It would have made things easier. Good luck with your dino.

how long did it take you to do that

[coffeewithclay]

Just a weekend with nothing better to do..

[abitofwhimsey]

wow, how did you manage to get to dinosaur to react at the right moment? can you import video into blender?

[coffeewithclay]

Yes, you can. Actually I just imported the video as a background image, so I could animate the dino and keep everything in time, then I composited it using after effects.

[DieselD199]

Wow, awesome.

[berfits]

that was  brilliant 10/10

[dinokaiser]

Could you plz tell me how you UV mapped this dino, or show me the seems or methods you used for the textures, I am currently trying my hardest in making a realistic dino and could use as much advice as I can get.

Thanks in advance

really cool stuff, keep it up!

[JamesTCT]

Nice going. I couldnt make head nor tail of blender when i tried it today. You inspired me to give it another go if you can create stuff like that on it!
