Pigeon_Rig_ctrl controls the entire model.
DEF_spine_F_ctrl controls the gravity of the body.
DEF_spine_F_ctrl_2, DEF_spine_F_001_ctrl and DEF_spine_F_002_ctrl are FK controlers of the spine.
DEF_neck_ctrl, DEF_neck_001_ctrl and DEF_neck_002_ctrl are FK controlers of the neck.
DEF_head_ctrl are controllers of the head.

Usage Notes

Ensure your Unreal Engine version is 5.2 or higher to achieve optimal performance and compatibility.
The model adopts the Groom hair system. Please ensure that the 'groom' plugin in the plugins is enabled.
The hair is binding to the model, so please make sure to enable the 'support Computer Skin Cache' option in the project settings.
Given the high precision of the model, textures, and the extensive amount of fur, it's suggested for use on higher-end devices.
When importing into your project, ensure to maintain the directory structure to guarantee all linked assets load correctly.
Adjustments to the fur material's brightness and reflectivity may be needed based on your scene's lighting.
