Introduction

This is a male mallard model with textures, feathers, rigging and animations. It's made with Blender and Cycles renderer.

It consists of body, body side, oral cavity, tongue, teeth, sclerae, irises, third eyelids, foot, paws, feathers, back feathers.

Rigging

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

Root controls the entire model, and it has customized attributes:

Leg_IKFK.L and Leg_IKFK.R control the non-seamless IK/FK switch of the legs;

Neck_Follow01 and Neck_Follow02 control whether the neck moves following the parent controller;

Neck_IKFK control the non-seamless IK/FK switch of the neck;

Repair_Stand_Leg_Jiggle.L and Repair_Stand_Leg_Jiggle.R fix the jittering;

Tail_Follow01 and Tail_Follow02 control whether the tail moves following the parent controller;

Toe_Inherit_Rotation controls whether the toes rotate following the parent controller;

Wing_IKFK.L and Wing_IKFK.R control the IK/FK switch of the wings.

CTR_torse controls the center of gravity of the body.

Animations

Loopable walking animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-320

Unlooped swimming animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-420

Unlooped eating01 animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-420

Unlooped eating02 animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-420

Unlooped combing animation at 30 fps, frame range 0-375

Features

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

The Display button of the fur is disabled.

To get a nice effect, the settings below are required for such thick feathers:

1. Set Total under Light Paths to 12 or larger;

2. Set Transparency under Light Paths to 8 or larger;

3. Set Transmission under Light Paths to 12 or larger;

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