Does anyone know where to get a realistic T-Rex model for free or very little money? Scott Ayers used to have a free T-Rex for download, but it appears all the links no longer work. Thanks

And there is more stuff at this link.

or if you want a more realistic version cheap and can convert from max over to poser or whatever try http://www.10dollarmodels.com they've about 6 max format high res dinosaurs

I don`t know if their T-rex is more realistic, it does look more like the jurassic park T-rex but I prefer the pre-jurassic park T-rex look.

Crowbar, Just went to 10dollarmodels.com and thought I'd give them a call. Turns out their Phone No. belongs to another company. Kind of makes me nervous to give my Credit Card to a company that has the wrong phone no. on their web site if you know what I mean. I've emailed them, but was wondering if someone who's ordered from them has had a "good or bad" experience. Thanks Xantor, To quote you: "I don`t know if their T-rex is more realistic, it does look more like the jurassic park T-rex but I prefer the pre-jurassic park T-rex look." Do you mean the Jurassic park T-Rex is "Too Hollywood?" Could you please explain? and provide an example of a Pre-Jurassic Park T-Rex? Thanks

I just dont particularly like the jurassic park T-rex head. The jurassic park T-Rex has a distinctive "blocky" head that every one else seems to copy now. The valley of gwangi and king kong have the "older" head. If you search for gwangi in google or elsewhere you can see pictures of the older head shape. I probably couldnt show an example picture for copyright reasons.

re the 10 dollar site - did it lead to another selling 3ds format (but generally wider ranging prices)? I think the 2 sites are run by the same organisation re previous buys the only problem I had was on one order the link to a max file they emailed me was a dead-end. after an email they sent a 3ds format replacement. I ve probably ordered 10 plus items there with no problems so far. Because you have to wait to be emailed the link the wait can be a bit of a drag. I certainly wouldnt order from there if I had to complete in a hurry - you need to be able to check your mail on a regular basis (the link is only valid a day I think and you'd probably have to email them if you ever need the file again) re the trex model if you go for a 30's retro look I suppose it does make a good candidate for the daz rubber joint treatment - plasticine heritage showing I guess! I tend to prefer lean,mean & relatively accurate : )

The jurassic park t-rex is not more accurate it is just different, they don`t actually know how the T-rex looked because they only found skeletons with no skin.

Hi Xantor Im not talking skin texture as such - the jurassic park version of T rex simply took on board later thinking on skeletal articulation and posture the earlier 30's style for t rex may look fun but tends to bend the tail and spine to raise the head as much as they could away from the floor (Guess for the king of beasts they wanted it to stand really tall) it is very dubious as to whether the skeleton and musculature of a living t rex could contort this far - more to the point footprint evidence might even be pointing the other way now - if there is any posture evidence at all it is towards them having a stalking posture where they lower their height as much as practicable when hunting
