Dinosaur Walk Their Video
Below is a short video explaining where to find some of the available free rigs online.
Dinosaurs - Introduction to The Available Rigs
Why Dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs have been a staple of visual effects movies ever since Jurassic Park and, even before that, London's FrameStore created the astonishing Walking With Dinosaurs series - back when such work barely seemed possible.
Dinosaur Rigs
The tutorial uses the excellent free Dino rig by Harry Geoghegan, available for free download at Creative Crash. However you can also use the free "Indominus Rex" rig by Truong, which is also free and also works well.
With the visual effects industry expanding rapidly globally, and - of course - employing more and more animators - every animator should have a little dinosaur action on their demo reel.
