Description
Decided to dig-up some old animations
(The vault is full...)
This was a motion test with Poser 3.0
and the "Old" dragon model,
Now I have the Mil Dragon, I should redo this.
I just wanted to simulate a 4-point landing!
My other Dragon works:

Dang! Again! I can barely animate Vicky blinking. And you did that with P3?? Wow! ... Wow!
Great Exciting animation--Inspiring image !! Terrific work !
Oh, post more of these!!! I'm fascinated by animations!! I think it looks fantastic!! EXCELLENT!
Oh neat animation! So smooth!!! Very well done Eric!
Superb animation!
Now that was a very smooth landing...!!!
real great animation
Absolutely great! May I suggest you add a pause between the end and the start of your animation (just the background, for a sec or two). That would make it even more wonderful!
too cool....I have been playing around with some animations....they are fun to do but a bit taxing since you have to keep track of so many details..well if you want the action to look realistic...this one is great!
Thanks everyone, for such nice comments on an old piece. I tried to catch subtleties like the weight shift, and using the tail for balance. As this is an old file (Not sure I have it anymore) I will be working with my Millennium Dragon next....
Clear the Decks....Dragon at One O'clock!!!
THAT is sooo cool~!!!!!!!!!!! WOWO!! with the shawdow ... oh man it must have taken a while to do... you are a true talent my friend.. i am in awe.. i saw this special on tv a documentary showed a frozen dragon found in the hymalias ... they said the fire from thier mouth was used to make hydrogen and helped to keep thier eggs warm... then they showed how they could fly with the hydrogen it was all explained and proved.. and the dragon they found frozen looked allot like yours ..bravo excellent and VOTE!!
wow, a wonderful animation. cool job,Eric. * bravo * #:O)
Wow! That's fantastic!
Superb sequence. I think you captured the dynamics of landing very well here. Luv dragons too! ;]
What Kimariehere said. Oh man! You have the movements down to a science, just perfect.
The movements of the wings look very natural and appropriate.You must have to study kinetics(is that the right one?LOL)to do something like this so perfectly.Well done.-M :)
