About this mod

A collection of edits to tranform the in-game Tyrannosaurus into a more accurate version of itself.

Permissions and credits
With this mod the in-game Tyrannosaurus (JWE model) will change into a more accurate look; from a completely remodeled head to a reshaped spine and reduced arms.

Many thanks to the fellow modder Digitalduckmodeling for the incredible help in doing this edit, without him/her this project would've been much more complicated and, probably, of lesser overall quality in the end.

A full list of the changes:
-Remodeled the head to fit fossil evidence (adjusted maxilla, premaxilla and nasal  bone to be more laterally compressed; extended laterally the lacrimal, postorbital, laterosphenoid, jugal, quadrate, quadratojugal and squamosal into a more boxy shape)
-reshaped both the maxilla and the second half of the dentary to be more accurate
-moved and reorientated the teeth into their accurate positions
-reshaped the dentary, angular and surangular bone taking into account muscle growth
-made the eyes much more forward pointing
-reinforced the Adductor mandibulae externus superficialis to stay in line with muscle mass needed for the animal to bite
-reshaped the neck in posture to be more accurate
-reinforced the upper neck muscolature to properly reflect muscle mass needed to support the head (trapezius, m. transversospinalis capitis)
-Gave the animal a coracoid bone and gastralia
-dorsally compressed gastralia to take into account the force made by the m. pectoralis major onto it
-laxed last fourth of the gastralia to take into account the changing in muscolature from the m. pectoralis major to the external abdominal obliques
-remodeled the ischium and pubis to be in line with fossil evidence
-reshaped the spine from the dorsal to the sacral vertebrae
-gave the animal Scapulae
-slimmed down the muscolature in the hindlimbs to put it in proper proportion to the body (m. Illiotibialis, m. flexor tibialis externus, gastrocnemius)
-reduced in size the forelimbs to the correct arm to body ratio (tempered with the animations to reduce model stretching, a minimum of it is inevitable)
-unpronated the hands
-slightly reduced the feet in size
-adjusted the tail in posture, thickness and length
-adjusted tail muscolature to be more in line with the animal, making the tail a proper counterbalancer to the body mass (m. illio-ischiocaudalis, m. longissimus)

There are two different versions of the mod:
-the standard version comes with the remodeled Tyrannosaurus with keratin growth on the brow ridges, making it have more extreme facial features
-the reduced brow version shares the same model as the one before except this one has reduced keratinb growth, making this resemble more closely the skull shape of the animal in the effected region

Neither of these versions are less accurate than the other, the area modified by them is completely speculatory in keratin amount; the first one is based on keratin growth amounts in modern birds' crests, the second is more conservative.
