Rigging
With fine controllers, it's easier to create postures and animations, the features are as follows:
CTR_Root_a controls the entire model, with 12 customized attributes:
a_IKFK_leg.L switches between IK/FK for the left leg;
b_IKFK_leg.R switches between IK/FK for the right leg;
c_IK_Stretch_leg.L controls the IK stretch for the left leg;
d_IK_Stretch_leg.R controls the IK stretch for the right leg;
e_IKFK_neck switches between IK/FK for the neck;
f_IK_Stretch_neck controls the IK stretch for the neck;
g_head_follow controls whether the head follows rotation;
h_head_independent controls whether the head follows location in IK mode;
i_IK_neck_seldom controls the visibility of neck IK controller;
j_wing_follow controls whether the wings follow rotation;
k_neck_follow controls whether the neck follows rotation;
l_tail_follow controls whether the nose follows rotation.

CTR_BackGravity controls the rear center of gravity for the body.
CTR_FrontGravity controls the front center of gravity for the body..
CTR_IK_Root_neck_a, CTR_IK_Root_neck_c, CTR_FK_head_a and CTR_FK_head_b control the head.
CTR_FK_mouth controls the mouth.
CTR_eye_blink.L controls the opening and closing of the eyes, with the scale controlling the third eyelids.
CTR_eye_blink.R controls the opening and closing of the eyes, with the scale controlling the third eyelids.
CTR_left_wing_fold controls the folding and spreading of the left wing, which makes it more convenient to fold the wings and improve efficiency.CTR_left_wing_SurfaceDeform toggles the surface deformation for the left side.
CTR_right_wing_fold controls the folding and spreading of the right wing, which makes it more convenient to fold the wings and improve efficiency.
CTR_right_wing_SurfaceDeform toggles the surface deformation for the right side.
CTR_FeaTail_fold controls the folding and spreading of the tail.
Additionally, there are more auxiliary controllers for the body, making it easier to create more detailed animations.
