Consider this a teaser for the upcoming demo video...

Diane's never alone in the jungle. Be it human or else, there's always something keeping an eye on her.

Just thought I'd drop in and say this looks awesome. You've put together some really great stuff.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Looking super!

Thanks, guys. I'm currently working at the demo video, so expect that soon (by soon, I actually mean SOON, not 2 months away).

oooh!! soon!?!?!!

Happy Anniversary, Jurassic Park!



Twenty-three years to this day, John Hammond's state-of-the-art amusement park featuring live dinosaurs shut down for the last time. Let this be a memorial to the lives lost that fateful night.

Happy anniv!

Maybe think of it in a bit more of a somber tone...more haunting than triumphant. Then you'll REALLY be in the RTJP mood.

Often found roaming open areas in groups, gallimimus are skittish and irritable ornithomimids that usually prefer running to a fight. As the smallest herbivores of Isla Nublar, they often fall prey to small, fast predators such as velociraptor or a sudden ambush from larger carnivores.

EDIT: Derp, forgot to give them bumpmaps...I'll upload another image later when I get those done.

As the smallest herbivores of Isla Nublar,

You mean omnivore like you just said.

SHH! I'll change that.

Well...so far I've created a herd of five that dynamically migrate around, even splitting into separate groups occasionally, and as they do so they appear to be "stampeding". They will also scatter when approached by predators. Though I do believe herds of 7+ are possible, this would have to be done via that one idea you and I discussed regarding a certain other complex animation.

Made a few addtional changes to the Rex model to make it just a bit more film-accurate. Added more of a bump to the snout; thickened the neck and altered its shape and adjusted the tail to better match the animatronic; fixed the eyes; new teeth; new mouth textures, a couple other minor texture edits. Also made new bumpmaps, which I may have gone overboard with, but those can easily be reduced.

That girl looks quite nice... Inaccurate versions of the JP1 Rex have run rampant through JP recreations, official and unofficial. I would want to have a look at her in TresEd to give my final review on film-accuracy... Most notably, the JPOG Rex has a very fat head; can't tell exactly how different it is, here. What method of comparison did you use?
