Not to be so critical of the hard work you've invested into it, because you've done an amazing job and I use Argentinosaurus in almost every zoo I work on, but I do feel that a few small improvements could be made. For example, the creature seems to have a slightly swayed back, much like one would see on a gorilla, when the creature's back was more concave, rounding off from the base of the neck toward the pelvis and/or base of the tail. Additionally, the neck seems to be a little "meaty," for lack of a better word, although the head itself is in relative proportion to the rest of its body. Again, I pray you don't think that I'm bashing you or your efforts. I simply want to offer some (at the risk of sounding cliche) friendly advice. I like HENDRIX's Argentinosaurus model, maybe the neck could be made a little skinnier, but the Argentinosaurus in the series looked too skinny, looking at their legs and neck. the skininess of the shows necks made the animals head look oversized (unless the head actually is over-sized to the rest of the body) plus it face looked ugly, not like what HENDRIX has made.

Fixed the collisions for both theropods and added two particle effects: Dripping water when drinking, blood when eating flesh. https://www.dropbox.com/s/67ggm61nn0yhwq8/zzzWWD_5_SpiritsOfTheIceForest.z2f https://www.dropbox.com/s/8yz07biitwqep0x/zzzWWD_7_LandOfGiants.z2f

A while ago, I would not stop complaining about the Giga's size being limited by it's rig, and I am SO glad that you fixed that. And I'm also happy you added sound to the Giga, because it felt really weird having it not have sound. Oh, and it's really cool to see the new Theropod anims ingame, because the Allosaur and Giga look alot better with them than they do with raptor anims. Speaking of which, are you going to fix the Eustreptospondylus to have the theropod anims as well?

Thanks HENDRIX!!!! PS: I do agree with the argentino, I don't like the way the tail drags low to the ground. Also, AOE3, what's that? Also foot prints would be awesome.

Kinda like in AOE3 where they are there for a while but disappear after half a minute.... Personally that's something I can live without (at least at first, that is), but you have all my support to go for it if you wish. I'm a little familiar on how AoE3/AoM footprints work and lookm, so I must ask on how exactly would you plan to tackle it, as in: would they be just a shaded, see-through texture left in the ground (like these games) or would they have actual textures in them? And would it be possible to make them spawn on the exact shape and position of their feet?

A particle system system would be the best bet, but then I have to get them display as a plane and I'm not sure whether the orientation works; I can't use something like the poop coding because for that I have to have a beh set for every anim, and that's not the case. Haha, it becomes more difficult the more I think about it, sounded really easy at first glance

The new theropod anims are amazing, and I've also noticed that the Giganotosaurus is more accurately-sized now (probably because its legs aren't bent as much).

Does it also mean drag trails for Crocodilians may be possible?
