In this adventure you are the person in charge of the safety of the park. The game will proceed in a relatively linear but intense way.
T-rex walk animation

Description
Walk animation by Robert Olender.
I recorded this from HLMV, so it's what you'll see ingame. I had to animate this in XSI and it's my first encounter with animation ever in this program so I hope you are not to hard on me. :o
nice!! the body should lift when moveing but the headbang is awesome!!!!!
Thank you darth64! Do you mean the chest part or entire section from hips to head?
Video might be down for a while due to an edit of the description text. Apparently this is not straight forward as with editing info for images.

I think he means the chest part. It needs to move a bit when he takes a step. I'd use the Jurassic Park t-rex chase as a reference.
Looks pretty good.
I think there needs to be more bounce and movement in his upper torso when he walks. That would help to give a sense of weight.
Terrific !
Beautiful. The only thing that i think could improve it would be adding:
1) The "chicken-style" marching component for the head and neck (forward/backward)
2) The levering component of the march for the lower torso, abdomen, and the tail (up/down).
You can notice the lack of both on the final side shot. The frontal shot is terrific.
Also, the hip joints might need to be a little higher.
Other than that, it's great.
I'll definitely look at adding more chicken motion to the neck and I'll see what more I can do with the abdomen torso part. It's not like I have many bones there... I have none :D But from the hips/torso up I got a first spine bone to work with. The entire spine is animated by hand. I missed that there was S curve spine simulation too in XSI. However I do prefer the control over it by hand to to really learn motion. The only thing simulated in the animation is the tail.
Can you explain little more on what you lack on the torso area. I'm not 100% sure but I assume you feel it's a bit static there. You need counter movement there as the spine through motion bends, contracts and relaxes?
Thanks for the comment and feedback :)
need moar movement to the torso and hips, if you watch some documentaries about T-Rex you will know what i mean :)
the model is good though.
someone stole your trex and raptor models and have been using them in mobiles games a long time ago
