This is a realistic model of a Stilt bird for 3DS Max 2016 and up.

Model is textured, rigged using CAT rigging tools (built in 3DS Max) and covered with feather (Ornatrix hair system plugin) and another file with geometrical feather which you can render using any renderer, Not animated if you want the animated copy, please follow the link : (https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/animals/bird/stilt-rigged-animated-bird), materials are set up and ready for render with Vray. Texture maps are 4K and included.

Rig structure is very clean and animator-friendly and anatomically correct. Beside the 3DS Max file which includes everything, I included loadable rig file (Production_Stilt_MainRig.rg3) which you can call directly from 3DS Max and load the full textured rigged character as many copies as you want very easily. If you wanna use the CAT rig file and the Animation file I mentioned above, please make sure to put both files in the below directory: (Production_Stilt_MainRig.rg3) in: (C:\Users\yourComputerName\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 - 64bit\ENU\plugcfg_ln\CAT\CATRigs) you can also know the directories by checking where the similar clips and rig files in CAT folder.

Please, take a quick look at the explanation video which explains how to load the character rig and the animation (Loading Stilt rigs and animation) to get into it. The Stilt is covered with feather (Ornatrix hair system) which gives it very realistic look, But, included another file with geometrical feather which you can render using any renderer,
