Animantarx
March, 2008
The nodosaur, animantarx, is an astonishing animal with its massive shoulder and neck spikes. While I’ve mentioned elsewhere that I was able to adapt other models I already had in making evolutionary relatives, that was not the case here. Obviously the Animantarx has a similar anatomy to its more famous relative, the Ankylosaurus, but its huge frontal spikes made it a tremendous challenge to rig.
Thom Miecznikowski helped in both modeling and texturing this second of six models made for the McWane Science Center.
