T-Rex by Carcaryas

…next step, the “T Rex march” :wink:

Wow. he looks great. Only thing that bugs me is that his head looks very similar too the skull. What i mean is it doesnt seem to have much flesh. especially around the ear. Then again. i’ve never seen a real t-rex before. haha. awesome work though. great attention to detail.

this is really cool, i visited your workflow insight on this, i like the style and the realistic touches to it. the texture is awesome and i remember that one of the reasons i got zbrush was your model showing zbrushes potential, and thinking about getting maya too because of this :slight_smile: .

Good and sweet fun.

But paleontologic reconstruction is based on the anatomical sciences and the sciences of the compared anatomy.

Without these bases, Trex is as Gozilla and no scientific reconstruction :confused: :wink:

Test again and work … hard :wink:

Man, this is incredible work. This is what I want to be able to do - It’s a long learning curve, but my background in traditional wildlife art will help, and with the kind of help available here I look forward to the challenge. I went through your tut word by word. fantastic resource…thank you!

Bon chance!

T-Rex is a too much mediatized dinosaure …

And T-Rex is very too much known. His modelling must be completed.
No kindness(accommodation) with reconstructions …

Scientific work or not ? Not for me. But this work is good, somewhere …

But, what do we want ?
Fantasy T-Rex or a version extacte :qu:

But there is no probème, Here :wink:

ZBrush is a very good tool for all …

Bravo Carcaryas :slight_smile:

The Trex is a phantasm of my childhood, increased by Jurassic Park and its wonderful tyrannosaurus: the hero of the film!

The scientific picture of your dinosaur agrees certainly more to reality than mine; this animal might have had legs of an ostrich; the approach of a turkey and it might also have feathers. The thesis which links dinosaurs to their eventual line of descent, the birds, is captivating and amazing.

“After that, you won’t see birds the same anymore.”…

When I began the modelling of the dinosaur, I had an image in mind for a while and I make the effort to get documentation so as to know the anatomy of a dinosaur to be credible (exactly like Godzilla: you begin with reality and you ask questions, then you propose new possibilities. This is a necessary work to create the animals of the future, isn’t it?!). I wanted the dinosaur to be powerful and charismatic, just like in Spielberg’s film. By the way; the team of the film had gathered the last scientific discoveries so as to create realistic dinosaurs. But the vision of creative people should not agree to the scientific’ one to create realistic dinosaur. So they have accommodated the specimen so as to match with Hollywood’s dreams!

Imagining and creating; that’s my real motivation. Being at the end of the ideas’ concatenation and considering my work on a Cartesian and severe way appears as a too frustrating vision to summarize all what I ever wanted to do for years.

Science fascinates me but it’s not my motor.

I am however still convinced that it is an essential support to imagination. I won’t assert that I’m a scientific; I’m first of all a creative.

This looks pretty fantastic to me! But, I know nothing of dinosaur anatomy. I’d definately look up some reference if I were to do a T-Rex model. But for the majority of the public who might view an illustration/model of a T-Rex, they wouldn’t know the difference if it was slightly incorrect, unless it was for some scientific journal read by paleontologists. :+1:

Monsieur Boulay,
I agree that the T-rex is suffering a little over-exposure, but it has come to be more than a mere species for so many. It is the ‘Lion’ of dinosaurs, It is the one we have seen in our nightmares since childhood, it is a symbol of all that is menacing & dangerous, yet mysterious and unknown. Indeed it has become the archetype for that powerful sense that pervades our souls…the fear of the unknown.

But I agree, I would love to see many more of the great diversity of species that were here before us given more recognition, and I can think of no better way of achieving this than some of the works on your own site, in particulour the sublime study of a pair of Dilophosaurs displayed there. This has become my new favourite 3D image. It has a life and depth I never dreamed possible in 3D, and in fact reminds memore of the work of my favourite ‘traditional’ artist, the great painter Raymond Harris-Ching. I urge anyone who hasn’t set eyes n this masterpiece to go directly to Marc Boulay’s site and have a look. All the work there is incredible, but this one work absolutely knocked me over, My congratulations to you sir, you are an artist of the highest order.

Merci

Carcaryas is a young person ZBrush. I like very much. (…)
