And here is Ceratosaurus walking through the Morrison Formation landscape.

Very impressive 3depix!  3ds Max is a very powerful piece of software and one of my favorites.  I don't get to render with it as much as I did in the past.  This makes me want to really get back into it.  Keep up the great work.

Very nice Looking at the walking animation I wonder if it should be more "birdlike". Look how terrestrial birds walk:

 

 

They mostly use their "ankles" facing backwards (heels) and move the lower part of the leg (tarsometatarsus). Shouldn't the dino be moving the same way? For discussion

Why? Its not a tetanurae

Wow it is a spectacular animation! The environment is awesome! Did you recreate the plants all on your own? How many models did you make?

I might be wrong, but looks like the presence of an actual long tail makes difference:

Thank you. I bought the plants to save some time, but had to modify them and re-make some materials.
