Rigging

With fine controllers, postures and animations are easier to create, and the features are as follows:
CarrionCrow_Rig_ctrl controls the entire model.
spine_a_ctrl controls the gravity of the body.
neck_a_ctrl, neck_b_ctrl and neck_c_ctrl are FK controlers of the neck.
head_ctrl are controllers of the head.
foot_ik_R_ctrl and foot_ik_L_ctrl are IK controllers of the legs, Leg_ikfk_L and Leg_ikfk_R controls the non-seamless IK/FK switch of the legs;
Each feather has skinned bones, an FK controller, a bending controller. Besides, there are some controllers which are to bend, rotate, fold multiple feathers overall.

Usage Notes

Ensure your Unreal Engine version is 5.4 or higher to achieve optimal performance and compatibility.
The model adopts the Groom hair system. Please ensure that the 'groom' plugin in the plugins is enabled.
The hair is binding to the model, so please make sure to enable the 'support Computer Skin Cache' option in the project settings.
When importing into your project, ensure to maintain the directory structure to guarantee all linked assets load correctly.
Adjustments to the fur material's brightness and reflectivity may be needed based on your scene's lighting.
