Introduction

This is a high-quality seagull model with maps, hair cards, rigging, 5 animations and a realistic muscle structure. In addition, there are complex feather cards and maps, with a total number of 540,000 faces for all the feathers which significantly increase the realism. Fine rigging makes it possible to control every feather and more details for the animation. This model is made with Blender3.4 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 multiple customized attributes:
Head_FK_follow controls whether the head rotates following CTR_spineroot_a.001;
Neck_FK_follow controls whether the neck rotates following CTR_spineroot_a.001 in FK mode;
Neck_IK_FK switches between IK/FK controllers of the neck;
Neck_IK_follow controls whether the head rotates following CTR_spineroot_a.001 in IK mode;
CTR_spineroot_a.001 controls the movement of the center of the body.
CTR_head_a controls the head.
CTR_foot_a.L and CTR_foot_a.R are IK controllers of the legs.
CTR_FK_thigh.L, CTR_FK_shin.L, CTR_FK_foot.L, CTR_FK_thigh.R, CTR_FK_shin.R and CTR_FK_foot.R are leg controllers.
CTR_leg_setting.L and CTR_leg_setting.R comes with two customized attributes:
IK_FK switches between IK/FK mode of the legs;
IK_repair_joggle fixes the shaking of legs when the feet are not moving much on the Z axis.
CTR_jaw_b opens the mouth.
CTR_foldtailwing controls the folding and unfolding of the tail.
CTR_foldwing.L and CTR_foldwing.R fold the wings with Location quickly and conveniently, and improve the efficiency.
Each feather comes with skinned bone and a separate FK controller, detailed controller and bending controller. Fine rigging makes it possible to control every feather conveniently. Besides, there are some controllers which are to bend, rotate, fold and unfold all the feathers.
