3D) pterosaur

Ytanium do you have any idea how wrong you are.
That was NOT and never will be, a dinosaur.
Dinosaurs did not fly.
This is like a pet hate of mine.

There are not more than one flying dinosaur, there are are less than one, in fact, one less than one.

Why have you used \"   \" quotation marks? the words you\'ve used them on are not obvious choices to quote.

Those links I gave, a little surfing will turn up a description, and types of dinosaurs, and it clearly said (Dinosaurs never flew). A Plesiosaur is not a dinosaur either.

oki oki sorry. forgive my previous reply and this one

[Adeli]

Don\'t apologise, there is no need.
Now you know, there is no harm done.

Geez Tyralus, lighten up.

Welcome to the forums Ytanium, if I haven\'t said that already.

Arcane, even though your reference pic shows the animal having such long legs, I think our Planeshift version would look better with shorter legs. Just my opinion...

[ArcaneFalcon]

Yeah, I know where you\'re coming from Ice.  I really do.  I\'m just not too worried about it at the moment.  You\'ll see

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

There is an art contest here at school, and one of the divisions is animation.  I decided to complete this project so that I can enter it.  I\'ve completely redone the uv map, skin, and skeleton, and I\'ve created some animations to go along with it.  You can get a video of the fully animated model here.  It\'s a 23 meg avi or something like that.

Here are some renders for those that don\'t want to/can\'t get the movie:

But that\'s ok, because it\'s suweet! - Robin

That is awesome, legs look a little stocky, but great overall.

I see a lot of effort in the texture work to, keep up the awsoome work

Looks great! Good job!

[joejoe]

...nice....hope this will get into the next update!!!!

[confused]

Does this mean that we could be looking soon at air transport!!!

Oh, by the way, they look great the models.

This will at no time be in any of the upcoming updates.  Sorry.  I will submit it, but if they actually want it I will be completely revamping it again (tweaking the mesh, doing a whole new skin, etc.).  This doesn\'t have near the detail that is needed for the real pterosaur so it will, at best, be a random flying monster.  I appreciate the comments!

Edit: Contest results are in.  I got second place.  First place was a short movie done by 6 or 8 seniors in the advanced animation class (it was alright, but they didn\'t have any textures and it was black and white).  Not bad considering I haven\'t taken any of the animation classes yet.

Well done on your achievement!
