Here is the place where people can show off their 3-D Dino-Riders models. If you
have 3-D programming skills and you want to contribute Dino-Riders concepts, feel
free to send me an e-mail and I will gladly post them here.
Wiese, a.k.a. Sebastian
Wiese, a.k.a. Sebastian, started an awesome Dino-Riders project by creating 3-D versions
of some of the Rulon figures and dinosaurs using Blender. He has created Antor, Hammerhead,
Rasp, Ankylosaurus and the Rulon Deinonychus. The models are relatively simple but
are very accurate representations of the toys. He has also created a few simple animations
with the idea of ultimately creating a video game with the models, but that never
panned out.
Guillermo Hernandez
Guillermo Hernandez started an ambitious 3-D project on the SpinSquad LightWave forum.
His goal was to make a 3-D model of the entire Series 2 Dino-Riders scene. The dinosaur
models are complex and have very high polygon counts. Guillermo began working on
a Stegosaurus and a T. Rex and had asked other people to contribute other dinosaurs.
One person started a Pteranodon and another started a Triceratops. Unfortunately,
the project was never completed.
Michael Barrington’s 3-D Rasp
Here is a 3-D model of the evil Rasp. This was found on a forum called CG Talk and
was created by Michael Barrington. Michael decided to update Rasp for the future
with some original re-designs of the character. For example, he gave Rasp an "evolutionary"
hand and decided to have him wear protective armor. He's not 100% finished and he
mentioned wanting to create a dinosaur for him to ride on. Unfortunately, the project
was never completed.
Redtachi’s Star Wars: Empire at War Mod
Redtachi started a very ambitious project - taking the PC game “Star Wars: Empire
at War” and modifying it to include Dino-Riders models. I think they came out pretty
cool - the weapons are very true to the toys.
Juan Manuel’s Velociraptor
Here is a cool picture of an armored Velociraptor that I found on a 3-D programming
message board. Although it doesn't look like a traditional Dino-Rider, I couldn't
help but notice the Dino-Riders style gun tips. As you can see from the picture,
Juan Manuel has some serious talent.
