Hello people,

Im working on a fully functional Trex model! Heres a little WIP shot (attached).

Please be awesome and let me know your thoughts on the questions below:

-What features would you want to see from a trex model? Im guessing animations?

-Would texture variants be appealing to you?

-How about a “damage state” texture, battle scars ect?

-What price would you expect to pay for a fully functional trex with animations?

-Im considering adding a additional goat model to the pack, would this be cool?!

Beautiful model, for myself to buy, i’d say around the $50 mark…more animations, more i’ll pay basically.

Love the idea of damage textures also.

Will you be completing other dinosaur models? I know Janpec is doing a dinosaur pack, but the more the merrier I say!

Thanks iMump. Sounds about right, ill put it on cheap to start with :slight_smile:

Yeah im totally up for making more dinos! They are pretty time consuming to make but ive got loads of tools and techniques now to get it looking right.

Yeah I saw Janpec’s stuff, the sea pack is really great, and the herbivore dinosaur looks really cool too, i think it would work well alongside this one. Perhaps we should all team up and make a Jurassic park game…you dont know Jeff Goldbloom do you?!

Haha, cant say I know him.

The beauty of having more of these dinosaur packs to choose from is that every modeller has their own style and it reflects on what they do, and at the moment I prefer what you are doing with yours.

In saying that I will be buying Janpecs bundle when it is done though (Hurry up! :stuck_out_tongue: ) and I am eagerly awaiting to buy this one! So hurry up and take my money…haha

And I am working on a prehistoric game of sorts.

Just curious what animations will you be putting with this guy?

Ah great thanks! Ill make sure to message you when its out so you can get in on the release discount :slight_smile:

I have not decided what animations to put with it actually, do you have any ideas?
I was thinking-

-idle
-Walk
-Run
-Jump
-Run snapping of jaw (left and right)
-Running bite
-Standing bite
-Snif
-Roar
-Impact damage (various angles)
-2x death animations
-180 turn

Do you think that would work?

Would the 180 turn also be used for shorter turns, just halted when necessary?

7

Those animations sound good Razz. There is one animation I would love to see…limping, not dramatic, just so it’s noticeable.

8

yeah actually im not so sure about the 180 turn. What id really like to do is animate it so that when turning the head looks first, then the rest of the body follows. Im not sure how id animate this to work with unity though. Maybe it would be in some kinda head look script (im no scripting expert!) and the turn would just be a foot animation?

Also id want the tail to swing round after as well if you see how i mean

Limping sounds cool Mump!

looks good,how this progressing?

Thanks concept. I got caught up in some contract work so ive left it for a while, back on it today though. Just managed to finish rigging it and now im doing the animation. Hope to get it out in the next few days.

My work is very flexible and id like to make the best trex possible, so any feedback and ill try to make it happen before submitting it to the store.
