Check out this neat preview of the ontogeny morph for the Saurian Tyrannosaurus, now complete with walk cycle and stage specific textures! I have been letting this loop on my desktop for the past day.

@Sketchy_raptor It is cool and good that we get some games produced at this level. I just worry that, IDK, GTA 6 comes out and makes insane returns and then the money people get the impression every game can be like that. The industry could benefit from more frequent, smaller risk games.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@Sketchy_raptor My growing issue with the pursuit of high fidelity graphics is the bloat it adds to teams and dev times. The average AAA title now is a 7 year endeavor and they cost an insane amount of money to develop. When they fail, they fail hard which lowers confidence in the industry.

@Tomozaurus People's minds would be blown if they only realized benchmark movies like Fellowship of the Ring only had 480 VFX shots but a film like Captain America: Civil War can have upwards of 3,000. Most modern VFX work is actually totally invisible. It's that good.

@TeeVEE2677 @Beast_SculptKit has a fully articulated Carnotaurus figure that I did a sculpt for in the works actually. Should give it a look!
Also seeing parts of the cranial anatomy is expected and common in birds and other reptiles, seems plausible it would be in dinosaurs too.

Here is how the 3D print came out. It can barely stand (fell down after the picture) and is way too big for 1/40th scale (whoops) gunna make a few adjustments and then it might be ready!

@WryCritic It's quite a neat trick, how they've deluded us culturally into thinking having a government that does the absolute minimum is not only acceptable, but it is also our greatest virtue.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@WryCritic Yeah this is like the classic American reactionary take. Their fixation on the 4 day work week is so typical. Nice things aren't supposed to happen for workers. Workers are supposed to slave for what they get, and what they get is what they deserve.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@WryCritic It's impossible for me to unlink from the current moment. I feel especially protective of anything educational produced by public broadcasting networks, especially when funding for these programs is being cut constantly and is under persistent scrutiny and political siege.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@jdooo_x3 You don't have to think it looks good, but if your creative gripes basically amount to "I wish this had more money and time to cook", IDK, I just don't think the creatives involved really had much control over that.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@jdooo_x3 I guess I just don't see why standards shouldn't be contingent on the level of production. This clearly didn't have a Prehistoric Planet type budget, why would I evaluate it on the same terms? For a public broadcasting production, this looks good.

@LycansDenX @arvalis @CrimmsArt @Eldestofstars @_Aurum79 Is that your opinion or a statement of fact? As a statement of fact that is wrong. People accused of terrorism are still owed due process, you need to prove they have committed crimes in court.

@LycansDenX @arvalis @CrimmsArt @Eldestofstars @_Aurum79 Hitler claimed the Jewish culture encouraged the pillaging of wealth from ethnic Germans who were the only true nationals.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@LycansDenX @arvalis @CrimmsArt @Eldestofstars @_Aurum79 Every group of people rape and kill daily. The people I listed have not raped or killed anyone, they were detained with no charge of a crime and were denied due process which is their right.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@LycansDenX @arvalis @CrimmsArt @Eldestofstars @_Aurum79 Your response got locked up in auto moderation for obvious reasons, but that btw was essentially the same justification Hitler used for his treatment of Jews. So you've come full circle to being fascist.

[Jacob Baardse @LittleBaardo]

@LycansDenX @arvalis @CrimmsArt @Eldestofstars @_Aurum79 How?
