   hehe, I was just telling Ror an hour and a half ago how I wished the team that did Walking With Dinosaurs and Walking With Beasts would do more big-scary-animal animation. This is the biggest and scariest I can think of. Kick ass!

   I was a little unimpressed, as I didn't like the dragon designs all that much, but the animation seemed okay. Scott

   Yeah I've been pretty impressed by what I've seen on the commercials and on their site. The CG actually looks really good, and not just crappy, made-for-TV, Discovery Channel stuff (although I understand the people that do the effects for those DC shows are under serious time restrictions to churn those effect out) Another…

   I was just looking at the site, there's a 360 of the dragons, some really nice animation going on there. http://animal.discovery.com/convergence/dragons/profiles/profiles.html

   Lol. What aspect of the CG would you direct Framestore to improve exactly? The lighting was matched to scene perfectly, the modeling and surfacing top notch, and the animation pretty darn convincing. The Dragon designs are pretty subjective of course, but overall impressive stuff.

   I saw bits of it. It was pretty neat. I think the prehistoric ( http://animal.discovery.com/convergence/dragons/profiles/prehistoric.html ) dragon looked the most convincing in terms of design.

   cool show indeed. I like how they tied it in to real world history as much as possible (the dragon and the tiger from china, the knights and dragon hunters).. the 'examination' of the 'found' dragon body was a little cheesy (come on.. green lasers for 'xrays'), but overall they kept the show as realistic as you could while…

    Right, it looked more like a flying horse. Good show over all but I couldn't sit thru and more of Jean-Luc's voice droning on and on. I turned if off after about an hour. Sorry.
