Dinosaurs with Environment

This is a project I did for learning purposes. I used it to get a better feeling for large creatures, as well as the creation of a dense natural environment. I also made a short video to show the fully animated dinosaurs. The Vegetation was modeled in Maya, without the use of a special vegetation tool. For the trees, I used a modular system of branches to build the tree dome faster. I have also sculpted the trunk to get more detail on the ground. The textures are mostly based on photos (I generated the PBR with Photosop), except the dinosaurs which are polypainted and the ground textures which I baked from a high poly mesh. For larger objects like rocks or trunks I mixed different tileable textures (by using ID maps) for more detail.
For the dinosaurs I used additional bones as fake muscles to simulate their large and heavy bodies.
