Introduction

This is a high-quality American kestrel character with the model, textures, feather cards, rigging, and 4 vivid and cute animations. The model features accurate muscle structure; the body textures are created at 6K resolution, while the feather textures are made at 4K resolution. Complex feather cards and feather textures were created in Blender to achieve a highly realistic effect. The rigging is highly detailed, allowing for flexible control over body movements. 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 and includes 10 customized attributes:
Head_Loc_Follow – Controls whether the head follows location.
Head_Rot_Follow – Controls whether the head follows rotation.
Leg_IKFK_L – Switches between IK and FK for the left leg.
Leg_IKFK_R – Switches between IK and FK for the right leg.
Leg_PoleVector_Follow_L – Controls whether the pole vector for the left leg follows.
Leg_PoleVector_Follow_R – Controls whether the pole vector for the right leg follows.
Leg_Stretch_L – Controls the IK stretching for the left leg.
Leg_Stretch_R – Controls the IK stretching for the right leg.
Neck_Follow – Controls whether the neck follows rotation.
Tail_Follow – Controls whether the tail follows rotation.
CTR_gravity_B – Controls the rear center of gravity for the body.
CTR_gravity_F – Controls the front center of gravity for the body.
CTR_head_a – Controls the head.
CTR_mouth_b – Controls mouth opening.
CTR_Eye.L – Controls left eye movement.
CTR_Eye.R – Controls right eye movement.
CTR_NictitatingMembrane.L – Controls the left third eyelid.
CTR_NictitatingMembrane.R – Controls the right third eyelid.
CTR_FoldWing.L – Controls the left wing's folding and spreading, allowing for a quick and efficient wing-folding pose to enhance workflow.
CTR_FoldWing.R – Controls the right wing's folding and spreading, allowing for a quick and efficient wing-folding pose to enhance workflow.
CTR_WingFold_Shape – Toggles surface deformation.
CTR_WingFold_Shrinkwrap – Toggles shrinkwrap.
CTR_FoldTail – Controls the folding and spreading of the tail feathers.

Additionally, the model includes more controllers to facilitate the creation of highly detailed animations.
