Quote - doubt creating a Dinosaur on Genesis would be a good idea, however creating a dinosaur using Tri-ax rigging/weight mapping and Sub-D is entirely possible. (And, aside from clothing, would have most of the advantages of Genesis.) In fact if you did it right you could builld 2-4 base figures and morph the rest from those. Things like horns, spikes and tail clubs could be geografted on, etc. Very cool idea, make sure you pass that along to Dinoraul. :)

I was wondering if it was possible for someone to make a quadruped base figure and morph it into anything from a mouse to an elephant. 

And if not, it seems like the basic idea of Genesis would still be well-suited to a group of related animals like dinosaurs, where the "shared gene pool" is very visible.  And where there's a lot of debate about how they really looked, so it would be good to able to easily change/add things.
