Lightwave 3D 9.6 Animating a Tyrannosaurus-by Adam Gibson

http://www.learn3dsoftware.com/lw_96_animating_tyrannosaur.htm

In this video tutorial Lightwave Instructor Adam Gibson demonstrates how to animate a Tyrannosaurus dinosaur using Lightwave's powerful animation tools and IK (Inverse Kinematics) System. Walking and adding secondary motions like tail wagging, body and head bobbing movements, and weight-shifting/distribution are shown in great detail. Also important aspects like how to prevent "slippage" where the characters feet start sliding around and need to be locked down to the ground is also demonstrated.
Also if you are terrified or scared of Lightwave's Graph Editor this video is designed with the beginner 3D student in mind so that you don't need to use the graph editor if you don't want to.
Simple and easy key framing techniques are shown to get your characters up and moving fast.
Learn how to make preview animations to test your characters movements in real time before you render.
Techniques shown in the tutorial are compatible with Lightwave versions 6.0 to 10
