Rigging

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

CTR_root controls the entire model, and its customized attribute Neck_IK_FK controls the IK/FK switch of the neck; Neck_follow controls whether the neck moves following the parent controller.

CTR_FoldTail controls the folding of the wings by Location.

CTR_FoldTail controls the tail feather folding by the Location.

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

CTR_leg_IKFK.L and CTR_leg_IKFK.R control the non-seamless IF/FK of the legs by their customized attributes.

CTR_FoldClaw.L and CTR_FoldClaw.R control the flexion and extension of the feet by their Location.

CTR_IK_head controls the head in IK mode, and its customized attribute Neck_IK_follow_Head_Roll controls whether the neck rotates following the head.

Fine rigging makes it possible to control every feather conveniently.

Notice Before Purchase

Please take notice that this model is made with Blender, and only fully supports Blender. If your workflow includes other 3D softwares such as Maya, 3DsMax, C4D and so on, the model with its fur, rigging and animations may not be able to be fully transferred to those softwares. You can still try exporting the animations using any other methods, including baking and more, at your own risk. We don't provide any technical support on exporting to other softwares than Blender.
