You should definitely go for it. Some stop-motion fans cringe at the idea of CG versions of Ray's creatures even though fans have been making 8mm and 16mm homages of Kong, and Ray's creatures for about the past 60 years without a whisper of 'blasphemy'. Fun is the key here. As far as the CG Rhedo on this thread, it's important to note that it was done as a test, "for fun" and was never meant to be any more than that.
