I've always shied away from creating any sort of creature, let alone rig one! But, I've always wanting to make a scene with a bird in it, so on a whim, I decided to check out the Piero course to see if there were any pointers. Welp, what can I say, that course helped me not only model this bird, but rig it as well! Thank you all at CG Cookie for keeping this tutorial up for so long. Was really eye opening and helpful.
This looks great for your first creature.
Yeah, I got lucky with the low poly base mesh to start with.
Really beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
jammingammon Thanks dude, I really appreciate that. That hair was tough to get right for a while. I was like "why??" xD
Nice work. Creating something this realistic, and this close up, definitely takes some talent!
duerer Dude, thank you!
wardred Yeah that was something I knew I should focus on in the end, that photograph effect. Thank you so much!
@bruffin776 This magpie is looking so realistic π! Excellent work π!
This is spectacular work! It does look like a really sharp photograph. Love the details on the talons.
@adrian2301 Haha yeah, definitely has that Piero look. Thank you so much man, I really appreciate it!
Awesome work!
At first look I thought this was a photograph.
I notice the Piero look and read your description and the rest is history.
