Introduction

This is a high-quality scarlet macaw model with multiple 4K maps, hair cards, rigging and 4 realistic animations. It comes with complex feather cards and maps, with 130,000 faces in total which makes it more realistic. The detailed rigging allows you to control each piece of feather and fine-tune the animations. This model is made with Blender and Cycles renderer at real-world scale.

Rigging

With fine controllers, it's easier to create postures and animations, the features are as follows:
CTR_root controls the entire model. It comes with a customized attribute:
FeatherSmooth prevents interspersed feathers.
CTR_gravity_a controls the movement of the center of gravity of the body.
CTR_head controls the head.
CTR_foot.L and CTR_foot.R are IK controllers of the legs. It comes with three customized attributes:
FK-IK switches between IK/FK of the legs.
IK_Stretch controls whether the legs can be stretched.
IK_StretchStrength controls the strength of leg stretching.
FK_thigh_b.L, FK_shin.L, CTR_ROLL_foot.L, FK_thigh_b.R, FK_shin.R and CTR_ROLL_foot.R are FK controllers of the legs.
CTR_gravity_b controls the chest. It comes with two customized attributes:
Neck_Follow controls whether the neck rotates following the chest;
Neck_IK-FK switches between IK/FK of the neck.
CTR_chin opens the mouth.
CTR_feather controls the folding and unfolding of the tail feathers.
CTR_feather.L and CTR_feather.R fold the wings by Location, which makes it quick and easy.
Each feather comes with a skinned bone and a separate FK controller, detailed controller and bending controller, which makes it possible to control every feather. Besides, there are controllers which are to rotate, fold and unfold multiple feathers overall.

Features

The model is in meter units at real-world scale.
To run faster, the fur is hidden, with Render enabled.
Mask modifier is applied, causing the cached vertex, edges and faces in the OBJ file to be different from that in Blender. This doesn't affect anything.
