Introduction

This is an Indian peafowl model with multiple 4K maps, fur, rigging and 3 realistic animations. The fine rigging controls each feather separately. And there is a controller that folds the wings and a controller that folds/unfolds the tail. The model is made with Blender and Cycles renderer at real-world scale.

It consists of body feathers, body, shoulder feathers, tail feather shaft, feather crown, eyes, third eyelids, feathers, tail feathers, lacrimal glands, tongue.

Rigging

With full controllers, postures and animations are easier to create. The features are as follows:

There are four skeletons:

IndianPeafowl_Rig_grp is the main skeleton that controls the body and drives the other skeletons;

IndianPeafowl_CovertsUP01_grp and IndianPeafowl_CovertsUP02_grp are tail feather skeletons that control the tail feathers.

IndianPeafowl_TailPile_Rig_grp is the skeleton of downy feathers on the tail.

CTR_Root_a and CTR_Root_b control the entire model, and CTR_Root_a has multiple customized attributes:

Head_LocateFollow controls whether the head moves following the center of gravity of the body in IK mode;

Head_RotateFollow controls whether the head moves following the center of gravity of the body in IK mode when Head_LocateFollow is enabled;

IKFK_leg.L and IKFK_leg.R control the IK/FK switch of the legs;

IKFK_neck controls the IK/FK switch of the neck;

IK_Stretch_leg.L and IK_Stretch_leg.R control the IK stretch of the legs;

IK_Stretch_neck controls whether the neck can be stretched in IK mode;

Open_Screen controls tail unfolding.

CTR_wing_fold.L and CTR_wing_fold.R control the folding of the wings by their Location.

CTR_FeaTail_fold controls the folding/unfolding of the feathers on the tail.

CTR_screen_fold controls the folding/unfolding of tail feathers

MCH_Axes controls the size of conspicuous eyespots on the tail feathers

Each feather comes with skinned bones, FK controllers, detail controllers and bending controllers. Besides, there are some controllers which are to bend, fold multiple feathers in batches.

IndianPeafowl_CovertsUP01_grp and IndianPeafowl_CovertsUP02_grp are skeletons of tails feathers, IndianPeafowl_CovertsUP01_grp is the main controller, IndianPeafowl_CovertsUP02_grp is controlled by IndianPeafowl_CovertsUP01_grp.

CTR_Root_CovertsUP_parent_a and CTR_Root_CovertsUP control the entire tail feathers.

CTR_fold_CovertsUP_U.L and CTR_fold_CovertsUP_U.R fold and unfold the feathers in batches.

CTR_Root_CovertsUP_U00, CTR_Root_CovertsUP_U00.R, CTR_Root_CovertsUP_U00.L, CTR_Root_CovertsUP_U4, CTR_Root_CovertsUP_U4.R and CTR_Root_CovertsUP_U4.L are main controllers of the feathers.

CTR_fold_CovertsUP_U00.L, CTR_fold_CovertsUP_U00.R, CTR_fold_CovertsUP_U4.L and CTR_fold_CovertsUP_U4.R fold and unfold the feather shaft.

Each feather shaft comes with skinned bones, FK controllers, detail controllers and bending controllers. Besides, there are some controllers which control the shape of the feathers overall. Conspicuous eyespots on the tail feather can be controlled separately or entirely.

IndianPeafowl_Body comes with customized attributes that control the size of the tip and root of every tail feather shaft and conspicuous eyespots on the tail feather separately; U0_Hair_CovertsUP_Root and U0_Hair_CovertsUP_Tip control the size of the tip and root of all feather shaft of U0 layer; U1_Hair_CovertsUP_Eye_Root and U1_Hair_CovertsUP_Eye_Tip control the size of the tip and root of all conspicuous eyespots of U1 layer; U1_Hair_CovertsUP_Root and U1_Hair_CovertsUP_Tip control the size of the tip and root of all feather shaft of U1 layer;

Features

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

The Display button of the fur is disabled.

The hair dynamic is baked according to the animation duration and is ready for use.

This model cannot be scaled by controller ROOT. You can put the model into an empty object, and scale the empty object.

Notice Before Purchase

Please take notice that this model is made with Blender, and only fully supports Blender. If your workflow includes other 3D softwares such as Maya, 3DsMax, C4D and so on, the model with its fur, rigging and animations may not be able to be fully transferred to those softwares. You can still try exporting the animations using any other methods, including baking and more, at your own risk. We don't provide any technical support on exporting to other softwares than Blender.
