The initial test of the archaeopteryx exhibit I created a few years ago. It required some tricky calculations to align the Pepper's Ghost effect with the fossil cast as intended.

Yup, this animation definitely has a lot of exaggeration; in reality, they would be much stiffer due to their pneumatic skeletons. 🦖🦴

Quadruped Locomotion Cycle No.3 – ‘Canter’ #animation

I did this for a carnivore / digitigrade comparison to the horse canter. There’s no diagonal link between fore and hind-limbs so I suspect this is just a slower rotary gallop.

Quadrupeds in games are tricky, here’s the default locomotion set of Bento the dog from Somerville. The gaits are 1 walk, 2 trots and 4 x gallops all with left/right turn and incline/decline variants. #animation #gameanimation #quadrupeds
