Description
Some professional paleoartists (like Luis Rey) give their dinosaurs quite garish color schemes. I was inspired by this and wanted to experiment on my own to see what a Triceratops would look like in military-style camouflage. This might actually be a decent color scheme if the animal lived in an Amazon-like environment. The base model is DAZ' ancient Triceratops figure and the texture is something I created with Filter Forge. It's crude and clumsy but I think this texture serves the old lo-poly model well.
Post-processing in GIMP and Lo-Fi.
Enjoy!

You know....this might be just the way they looked.....it makes sense :).............or who's to say they could not work like Chameleons . Now that would be impressive on a giantess dinosaur :)

Yeah it could be. If dinosaurs had color vision like birds do, then some type of camo would benefit both predator and prey in certain situations. I kinda got the idea from Swidhelm's Tyrannosaur which has tiger-like stripes.
