Rigging

With full controllers, postures and animations are easy to create. The features are as follows:

Root controls the entire model, and it has customized attributes:

Leg_IKFK.L and Leg_IKFK.R control the non-seamless IK/FK switch of the legs;

Neck_Follow01 and Neck_Follow02 control whether the neck moves following the parent controller;

Neck_IKFK control the non-seamless IK/FK switch of the neck;

Repair_Stand_Leg_Jiggle.L and Repair_Stand_Leg_Jiggle.R fix the jittering;

Tail_Follow01 and Tail_Follow02 control whether the tail moves following the parent controller;

Toe_Inherit_Rotation controls whether the toes rotate following the parent controller;

Wing_IKFK.L and Wing_IKFK.R control the IK/FK switch of the wings.

CTR_torse controls the center of gravity of the body.

CTR_FK_Tail01, CTR_FK_Tail02, CTR_FK_Tail03 and CTR_FK_Tail04 control the latter part of the body.

CTR_FK_Spine01, CTR_FK_Spine02 and CTR_FK_Spine03 control the former part of the body.

CTR_IK_Neck01, CTR_IK_Neck02... CTR_IK_Neck07 control the neck in IK mode.

CTR_Head controls the head.

CTR_IK_root_Foot.L and CTR_IK_root_Foot.R control the feet.

CTR_FoldWing.L and CTR_FoldWing.R control the folding of the wings by their Location.

CTR_Haw.L and CTR_Haw.R control the movement of the third eyelids.

CTR_Eye.L and CTR_Eye.R control the orientation of the eyes.

Fine rigging makes it possible to control every feather, and fold, unfold and bend wings conveniently.

Features

The model is in meter units at a real-world scale.

The Display button of the fur is disabled.

To get a nice effect, the settings below are required for such thick feathers:

1. Set Total under Light Paths to 12 or larger;

2. Set Transparency under Light Paths to 8 or larger;

3. Set Transmission under Light Paths to 12 or larger;

This model cannot be scaled by controller ROOT. You can put the model into an empty object, and scale the empty object.
