not gonna lie a primal survival game with dragons that is realism oriented to feel most believable could use models and animations like these! i can see how much love u put into it. much respect!

[@lanprice7546]

Draconia is a good option right now

[@renem.4249]

@@lanprice7546 thats rather very fantasial instead of immersive. i was thinking about an experience thats feels almost natural and believable but there is no such thing on the market yet

[@nightforest1693]

There’s another game coming out called The Wings of Dawn that’s still in development but it’s like Ark but with Dragons and you can also play as a Dragon as well. The Wings of Dawn also has an official KZbin channel too!

[@renem.4249]

@@nightforest1693 yeah it looks good sofar but most of their design to me are a bit too alien. looks like dragons from another planet rather than what one imagines a dragon to be. thats why i said the model in the video would fit in a more realistic and believable setting rather than overly fantasial.

[@domdom3938]

Emberfall, wait, who? A cancelled dragon survival game

[@gersonjunior3661]

You could put your work in games like ark for example. It's a beautiful job

[@rebeccaadams2509]

I'd play ark just for this. These animations are also badly needed in skyrim.

[@zlvnastra1066]

Or days of dragons I'd love to play as this!

[@Catonatoilet]

@@zlvnastra1066exactly what i thought!

[@Dawnstar660]

Yes, they would be a great help with the animations. And. I love❤️ it

[@KIKURAsky]

that's what i was thinking :D

[@Splooje]

They're gonna steal this design to use for balerion btw. Looks incredible

[@MacCheekz1990]

The GoT dragons already look like this lol...

[@Minisode.]

what kind of bullshit is this ijbol

[@cainyourkids]

@@MacCheekz1990 Lol yeah, the model already looks very similar to Drogon

[@fang609]

Have to say Im madly impressed how its basically spot on with the rig that has been used for the dragons in the last 3 seasons of Game Of Thrones, the way the way the wings move, the fins waving in the wind, the undulations of the body, its perfect. Not to mention its got the exact anatomy of a Thrones dragon too, right number of digits on the wings, overall proportions, I could easly see it in that setting.

[@poloppy7811]

Oh my goodness! This is genuinely the best dragon model/rig I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of dragons! Lol. Fantastic animations too!

[@truongcgartist]

Thank you, Polop py ^^

[@ethanshembvibar7020]

I like how it is reminiscent to Drogon but with major differences.

[@veiihe666]

Looks like an altered Game of Thrones dragon.

[@CharnaS0-6]

I literally clicked on the video, because I thought it was Drogon lol

[@ladyshadowclaw5235]

Oh my goodness this is underrated! The way you managed to get that flow throughout the body not only in the actual moving parts but the flow from the wind beating against it’s body, it’s just so good! I would actually die to have the ability to do something as cool as this 😭

[@KIKURAsky]

THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A GAME AND I LOVE IT!!

[@dragonwithamonocle]

THAT'S A BIG BOYYYY. Absolutely stunning work.

[@taylorroddin]

this has to be one of the most amazing works i've ever seen, you're by far the most talented cg artist i know

[@truongcgartist]

very much appreciated, Taylor!

[@Whydoiexisthere-]

I don’t know why, but he looks like a genuinely chill guy, like his aurora is emitting… calm vibes, if that makes sense. Seems like a great guy to just come over to have some Cheetos while watching the latest movies or smth

[@thenewguyinred]

The Black Dread is looking fire right now!

[@basilabedallah5797]

Loved the shoulder blades movement

[@motorsported]

I've worked with some dragon rigs in the past, I cannot wait to try this one.

[@truongcgartist]

please dooo

[@mariadim2809]

It looks like it's from a movie!! It's the best animated model I've ever seen! No words, it's stunning!!!!

[@zarkrai]

If this dragon was in House of Dragon, it would've definitely been a fan favorite.

[@egghaverr]

this could be in a movie

[@Naonical]

Looks like Drogon from GoT just scanned and slightly altered with some recolor.

[@ThatanOmega]

I can imagine one of those flying around old Valeria before the doom !

[@FallenOne669]

Good job on the back muscles flexing as the wings flap.

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

Whoaaaa! Absolutely amazing!

[@twistedsquid7607]

I love how as he pushes his wings down for another stroke, you can see the air resistance and how his muscles are being used to force against the air pressure. Super good

[@hskyforger]

The I of the Dragon game with this visual update would be dope

[@KissenKitten]

Oh wow! This looks so nice!

[@stevenluff2653]

This is a jawdropping result. But the most scary part of it is the fact that it took 4 years.

Best dragon animation and rig i have seen!!!

[@deerteeth1283]

This is INSANELY smooth. Beautiful work, - I WAS ABOUT TO TYPE "I cant imagine how long it took" THEN READ THE DESCRIPTION. OMG BRO PLS. AMAZING

[@Laviath]

This is a wonderful dragon, the animation is so smooth and without flaw! There is a newer game called Draconia, they have only 2 developers working on their dragons if I’m correct, I’m sure they would love the help if you’re interested! Dragons have been my favorite mythical creature since I was just a babe! This so magnificent💕

I would love this design for Balerion the Black dread, or maybe Meraxes in a HOTD season about the conquest.

[@EmeraldDreams7]

I imagine this to be how Vermithor might look. I could see it as Meraxes too if it was a silver color.

Drogon looks already very close to this one, even in color.

The dragon is better looking wyrim then what in’s shadows of Mordor. You should be working for game company. Very nicely done of Wyrim. Almost as good ones in game or Thrones.

Whoah

[@probablyaxenomorph5375]

He's got a bad case of "spoon wings", but other than that this rig is phenomenal!

[@mikerude5073]

Yeah, I'd like to see some designs where the patagium at least extends down past the hip and at least a little bit past the base of the tail. I can understand it being in the way visually when it connects all the way to the legs, but like I said, having it connect further down at least somewhat past the hips likely wouldn't be obscuring too much of the design from view. My logic as that magic is assisting with the flight (as nothing that big is going to fly otherwise), but that the wings are needed to control motion and direction to at least some degree.
