Songbird (Blackbird)
Modelled and animated by Torsten Schneyer, Anders und Seim neue Medien AG.
This is a full rigged and animated model of a cute songbird, more precisely a blackbird (Turdus merula) with all the important textures and animations. Use this model,
if you need a realistic, anatomical correct and cute bird in your animation or game. With its low polycount its ideal for realtime engines!
Model:
This great songbird mesh comes with 1696 polygons and 825 points. Because of that you can use it in realtime-engines or in high numbers in your render-scene.
Textures:
The HiRes textures are made of real songbird-feather-shots and
represent the correct colors of this species.
The wing and tail feathers are supplied with alpha maps.
Animation:
The bird is fully rigged and equipped with 65 bones to garant
usability for any bird-animations. Please consider, that this is no cartoon-character, but a realistic bird.
The rigging supports all kind of running, hopping, sitting, picking, spreading wings and tail, flying of course, looking around and so on. Without big efforts you can spread its wings and let it start!
There are three anime cycles included in the lws-files:
1. A 'flight' animation of 40 frames, for normal flying.
2. A 'landing' animation of 40 frames, with spreaded tail feathers and outstretched legs and claws
3. A 'sit' animation of 400 frames, containing some turnings, hoppings, pickings and looking arrounds.
Watch out for my other songbird-modelsd and the big package,
containing a bird house!
