Dilophosaurus Rig

I am currently working on a dinosaur rig. The dinosaur in question is the dilophosaurus.
I decided to attempt this project so that I could improve my modeling, rigging, and animation skills.

With Maya, I modeled the body, eyes, and teeth.

I used Photoshop to texture the eyes, Mudbox to paint the body, and CrazyBump to generate the bump map.


I plan on rigging the model and creating some animations: walk cycles, a short film, etc. I am considering including it in my senior project.
