Rigged 3D model of Giant Tortoise (Aldabra giant tortoise, Aldabrachelys gigantea, Galápagos giant tortoise, Chelonoidis nigra), created in Maya 2018.

Real-world scale.

Units: cm.

Model is scalable (use Main_Control's scale to rescale rig, displace value need to be adjusted manually after rescale).

Clean topology with quad polygons only.

All objects properly named.

Polygons:

Faces: 8612

Vertices: 8754

THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANIMATIONS! Animated version: Product ID 1647613

Rig description:

Model rigged with Triduza UniRigz system (6th Generation rig) and ready for animation.

UniRigz can easily bake animations, which can be exported to .FBX (read tips during baking)

UniRigz can do 2 types of baking:

-free joints - will bake all joints separated from hierarchy, this way is faster, but not recommended if you need to export animations to game engines like Unreal Engine or Unity.

-keep hierarchy - will keep skeletal hierarchy, but baking is slower. Works perfect with game engines, but may have issues with Cinema4d.

To activate UniRigz panel, select green W in viewport.

You can save and load poses of model, mirror and flip controllers, easily switch between IK and FK and use dynamics for some parts of model to achieve more realistic behavior.

Please watch attached video with rig preview.

Rig readme file included.

Files:

GiantTortoise_Rig.mb - main product file.

GiantTortoise_Rig_NoDynamics.mb - same as main file, but without dynamics, works faster in viewport.

Also you can turn off dynamics in main file in UniRigz panel, but because skeleton still have connections to dynamic joints it will slow down playback, recommended to animate with NoDynamics file, but use it as referenced and when finished animations, switch to main file and tune dynamics.

GiantTortoise_Poses.mb using GiantTortoise_Rig.mb as reference.
