About this mod

Alters the JWE Triceratops to more accurately follow the fossil record. Only replaces the JWE Triceratops, the '93 Triceratops is not altered.

Permissions and credits
The default Triceratops has a lot of things wrong with it, and is just plain ugly in my eyes, so much so that whenever possible I'd forgo it for the '93 one (which also has issues, but is slightly more accurate and is at least actually aesthetically pleasing).  This mod adjusts the JWE Triceratops to be more accurate within the confines of the Frontier model and rig, based off of Scott Hartman's "Hatcher" skeletal.  Some stuff straight up can't be fixed without a new rig, for example the neck is still too short and the tail is too long.  Because of how different it looks now some animations look a bit weird, but nothing animation breaking.

Main changes:
  • Head has been reshaped with a more properly shaped beak, nose, and frill
  • Body has been majorly reshaped so it has a nice single curve spine that peaks in the mid back, instead of the hideous multi-humped version the vanilla has that peaks at the hips.
  • Tail has been shrunk down considerably to better match the skinnier tails real Triceratops had.  Tail has also been shortened slightly, although I couldn't shorten it to an accurate size without majorly breaking animations (tip of the tail looks a little wonky sometimes when moving)
  • Neck has been brought in to get rid of the oversized throat and give it a more proper chest
  • Feet and legs have been overhauled to look more ceratopsian instead of elephant. (front feet still have too many claws)
