The model is made hi resolution by using Sub-Patching(LW) Turbosmooth(Max), so the actual geometry is much less than the rendered geometry. To fold the wings use the morphs noted above.īut if you have positioned the wings by moving the bones, AND you try to use morph targets to fold them, you WILL have some pretty weird distortions that will freak you out.ĭon't panic, the solution is to 'zero' out your wing bone positions, as or just before you apply the 'Morph' targets. The toes are controlled by 12 bones on each foot. The Tail spread is controlled via Morph target 'TailSpread', the Tail bone controls position and rotation. Located when you select the mesh and go to 'Modify' => 'Morpher' (Max)īut the mouth can be opened and closed with a bone as well.Īnd have 3 Morph position, to spread the wing tips and 10 morph positions to manipulate the wing

Located when you select the mesh and go to 'Object' => 'Properties' => 'Deform' (Lightwave) The 'Mouth' phonemes are controlled by 8 Morph targets: There are 3 'neck' bones, a 'head' bone and a 'lower beak' bone. The feet and legs are controlled by 'LT-FootControl' and 'RT-FootControl' respectively. The feet and legs are controlled by 'LT-Foot' and 'RT-Foot' respectively. I have provided several scene files to get you started: The main controlling object is the 'ROOT' bone (Lightwav and Max) and 'GoldenEagle-HyperNURBS' (C4D) Skyglobe is an astronomy program for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows first developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and originally sold as Shareware 1 but now available as closed-source freeware. You can also make adjustments, like spreading the wing tip feathers and spreading the tail using morph targets. The wings are folded using one of several morph targets.

The wings are animated using the 3 bones within each. The feathers are geometry so they render fast and no plugins are needed. OBF (includes base obj and morph target objs)īoth models come with several pre-animated scenes to get you started.
