New Allosaurus Model
*I'm looking for people to comment whether they agree or disagree with what I'm saying, and then give their own opinion on the model. If you're not going to contribute to the discussion then don't comment.*

I know the new allo model is kinda old news, but it's been bugging me a lot and I've noticed most of the posts made about it are just complaining and not any genuine feedback.

The biggest thing that I personally don't like with the model is that it looks kinda boxy. What I mean is that his rib cage isn't really rounded the way it should be. Instead of the ribs curving normally it's more of an angle(hard to explain, but look at the rib cage and you'll notice what I mean). The same thing is there with the thigh; it doesn't curve much at all. It's a pretty straight line.

What do you all think of the new model? Do you agree or disagree with what I've said? I tried to explain it as best I could, but it's a lot harder typing it here than actually showing someone the model and showing the parts I'm talking about.

Why this discussion again.

I think the large crests are a neat thing and makes it more interesting that its not the same thing as the usual image of Allosaurus that you usually think about. And at least those spikes are toned down from what it originally was.

It looks nothing like ARK just because it has those enlarged decorations. ARK literally ♥♥♥♥♥ up the proportions of dinosaurs.

The hips,and tail are what ruins the model completely for me at the moment.

You sir are very late, the party was over ages ago...

I personally prefer the old one more, but right now I am getting used to the new one... So, it doesn't bug me much.

The only things that bug me are the crests. But not for the reason everyone expects. Specifically I think they're too vertical. If they slanted slightly outwards they'd be fine. Right now it seems like the devs designed it wanting a magnet for batman jokes.

Skins will come later... Oddly enough, when Allo first came in, it came with 2 skins as well. One green and one brown.

I agree with you, I think it looks like a higher quality ARK dinosaur, or an original character from DeviantART or Tumblr. It looks horrible.
The design strikes me as 'childish' and 'edgy', very out of place in the Isle.

I made a small edit to a profile image of it (I've posted this before in another discussion) and I believe it addresses a number of issues: http://imgur.com/63RHaGU

I didn't say it looks exactly like an Ark model. I said it look like an ISLE QUALITY Ark model, meaning better quality. If you're not going to read what the post says then don't comment.

I would have to disagree, I rather like both models. The new one is an improvement over the old one due to the fact that it is not bugged, and I personally think it looks cooler.

I could actually agree with this, the vertical shape of them is a little strange to the eye.

But yeah, no one should be complaining about the crests being inaccurate, they are more accurate than the old model's were.

I haven't noticed a particular boxiness with the new model, though it is a little more built, which is intended. It's possible though that some concessions were made in selective areas of the model to reduce the workload on the player's computer. Reducing the poly count is a method of optimization. For instance if you look at how models are handled on some older games, they put the maximum amount of detail possible where the players are most likely to look - head, torso, hands, etc. But detail is lost as you look below the waist, with less work put into, say, the wrinkles and folds of someone's pants. You might even see some jagged edges.

That's done because no one typically notices it, and to put more work into it is largely a waste of time/money AND can put unneeded work on the machine that's running the game. That workload could be spent elsewhere, making it an efficiency thing.

what i like: the crests are ok they had bigger crests in real life
the new allo don't have shrink wrapped muscle and fat less body with outsticking bones(like how herrera have it now,or the old allo)
(there are some today living animals illustrated with shrink wrapping effect: http://carnivoraforum.com/topic/10161906/1/)

the spikes on the back..... they really annoy me and because it really looks like one model from the ark

They mean it looks cartoonish, the style of the crests and spikes looks like something you would see in ARK. They're not literally saying that they look the same.
