The forces that bind him!



To make my trex look more fluid in motion...i bound the model to the skeleton. At first i did this with his skin only, but when i began to animate i couldnt figure out how to keep the glowsticks and necklace with the body. To solve this problem, i removed the bind on the skin and then re-bound it with the glowsticks included. This caused the glowsticks to follow the motion of the hands. Lookin good!



The glow necklace was a different story. It looked extremely rigid when i tried binding it to the model. To solve this problem....i made the dinosaur a passive object and the necklace an active object. Dynamics give the necklace a realistic look to it, causing it to rock back and forth while he dances. I am real glad with how that part came out!
