To match the photo-real look of a David Attenborough narrated nature documentary, they consulted with scientists, extrapolated from modern birds and other animals, and used the latest digital tools.

How They Made Prehistoric Planet
This behind-the-scenes mini documentary (link to YouTube) shows how they made the nature documentary called Prehistoric Planet, which recreates the structure and movement of dinosaurs in strikingly believable ways.

Jim, I fully appreciate what has been accomplished, and certainly it's a valuable asset in helping scientists visualise function while in pursuit of veracity & generating more specific questions and hypothesis as to dinosaur function.
But for pleasure as well as a sense of the aforementioned,I honestly benefit far more from your Dinotopia works. Your hand and mind convey weight, depth & balance and concept far beyond even your conscious knowledge and effort, which is considerable.
PS: I'm a bit awkward in my comments and always find I miss something ... this time is that while those folks managed a stellar feat, I do not get a sense of realism, I feel rather something cold & synthetic, as compared to your works, wherein, as Norman Rockwell did in his, you capture a moment of warmth just after and just before in a narrative of implied action, behaviour, emotion and thought. My imagination concerning reality is stimulated from your implication, while the CG is a comparatively cold statement leaving nil for the imagination yet is fascinating; implication, based on reality, is what involves an audience into participation.
As for the CG people, hats off to you; this is not a criticism, maybe I'm out of step, and a different audience may experience depth, warmth & realism.
