Travel back in time with Steve Lund in this two-disc training series on creating one of the most feared predators of all time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. From start to finish Steve will take you through modeling this beast, sculpting its prehistoric reptilian details, painting textures, and creating shaders for the Cycles render engine.

                                                                                         Watch the Teaser!

Steve then walks you through taking your complete model and creating a rig for it, animating a walk cycle, and combining it with real footage using motion tracking and other compositing techniques. Then you’ll add some finishing touches like dust and debris then finally render it all in Cycles. There's over 13 hours of content packed into this extensive training course!
