Introduction

This is a high-quality Black Kite character featuring a model, textures, hair cards, rigging, and four vivid animations. The model has a realistic muscle structure, and 4K resolution textures are used. Complex feather cards and textures are created in Blender, with the total feather polygons reaching 240,000 faces for a highly realistic effect. The rigging is meticulously crafted to enable flexible body movement control. 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, with three customized attributes:

FeatherDynamics_Amplitude: Switches the feather sway on/off.

FeatherDynamics_LeftAndRight: Controls the amplitude for the feather swaying from side to side.

FeatherDynamics_UpAndDown: Controls the amplitude for the feather swaying from up to down.

CTR_SpineRoot_a: Controls the body’s rear center of gravity with seven customized attributes:

Head_Location_Follow: Controls whether the head follows position.

Head_Root_Follow: Controls whether the head follows rotation.

Leg_IK-FK_L: Switches between IK and FK for the left leg.

Leg_IK-FK_R: Switches between IK and FK for the right leg.

Neck_IK-FK: Switches between IK and FK for the neck.

Neck_Root_Follow: Controls whether the neck follows rotation.

Tail_Root_Follow: Controls whether the tail follows rotation.

CTR_SpineRoot_b: Controls the body’s front center of gravity.

CTR_Head: Controls the head.

CTR_jaw_b: Controls mouth opening.

CTR_WingFold.L: Controls the folding of the left wing for quick wing retraction, improving efficiency.

CTR_WingFold.R: Controls the folding of the right wing for quick wing retraction, improving efficiency.

CTR_TailFeaFold: Controls the tail feather folding.

The body has additional controllers to allow for more detailed animations.

Animations

Loopable flying animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-250

Unlooped catch-fish animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-180

Unlooped landing animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-160

Features

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

To run faster, the fur is hidden, with Render enabled. To display fur, simply click the display button.

Except for the above instructions, the model can be directly rendered in the project.
