BioOreo Pro is the 3D character animation tool used to create the
animated dinosaurs in [Nanosaur][1]. This tool?s predecessor, BioOreo
was used to do the animated characters in [Weekend Warrior][2].
The main difference between BioOreo and BioOreo Pro is that BioOreo
Pro uses ?skinned? geometries instead of ?jointed? geometries. What
this means is that BioOreo Pro performs animation on a 3D model by
deforming a single contiguous mesh. This results in a much more
realistic looking animation than was previously possible using
segmented models. When a leg moves, the skin is stretched and deformed
just like the real thing.
