Model of a dodo bought for the museum in 1938.

The head and feet are plaster casts, attached to a body covered in chicken or goose feathers with whole chicken wings added. The tail is made from tufts of ostrich or goose feathers. 

Most models are based on paintings of Dodos which were not scientifically accurate. Now, we know that Dodos were probably much slimmer than this specimen and had longer legs.

*Feathers of noble birds before you.*

This is part of the my challenge to create 100 models. I hope someone will like these simple models

My fifteenth model I am uploading in regards to my entry for the competition: “Explorer of new worlds” (http://forum.humster3d.com/showthread.php?tid=76) is a further developed version of the Pegasus (I know I am a serious amount behind schedule but I put too much emphasis on the models I shall upload today. And life has been far too busy to allow me enough free time).
As much as history claims that together with Chrysaor; Pegasus was born via her beading: I have had already stated that I was going for depicting "Clash of the Titans" of my childhood that of which was but loosely based on the myths of hero Perseus. Never claiming to be historically accurate.
I wasted TOO much time designing where the feathers should fit (Surprisingly time consuming). I'll go into detailing them soon after.

Sadly I am obligated to share a decimated version. The file just wouldn't upload.

Chicken from A Minecraft Movie
I made this model based on just 3 low-quality images but somehow it turned out not bad.
It's my first time using shells to make fur/feathers.

*Strix varia*, or the barred owl, can be commonly found in dense forests and wooded swamps in southwestern Canada, Washington, Oregon and northern California. The barred owl is, on average 48-51 cm tall, and has a rounded-head with grey-white facial disc. Where many owls have ear tufts, the barred owl does not.

The small serrations on an owl’s primary feathers creates small vortices reducing noise from wind drag to near zero. The silent flight of owls inspired the biomimetic solution to wind noise caused by the Shinkansen Bullet Train as it travels near 350km/h. These serrations also inspired the redesign of  Ziehl-Abegg, Inc’s fan blades, reducing noise and improving energy efficiency.

Over 5 years ago I've uploaded a model of an arrow. It was a pretty bad arrow but somehow it scored 2.5k downloads.

Today, during my slumber, one of my Lusatian ancestors haunted my dream.

**AND HE SAID**

> Mikhail, that arrow you made 5 years ago is so awful you made your entire family a laughing stock. Where are the strings? How is it secured? And why is there no space behind the feathers to hold it? How do you want to shot an arrow you can't hold?

And then I realised, I have failed. My absolutely awful fletching skills dishonored my entire ancestral line. 

But no longer.

Today is the day I repent. 

**New arrow.**

Nice 100 triangles, string, smaller resolution texture while still being more detailed, reduced file size.

Oh, and I've reused the feathers, talk about recycling!

...

*I think I have inhaled too much bleach...*

Low-Poly Arrow v2.0

This work was exhibited in the Warsaw Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in 1907. The sculpted Hussar from the Jan Matejko House is identical to the original painted as a panneau by Leon Wyczółkowski. 

Artist Leon Wyczółkowski created a decorative panneau of *Knight among Flowers*, depicting a Hussar sitting on horseback and blowing the horn against the background of a flowery meadow. 

The Hussar on horseback dressed in armour with gilded wings and eagle feathers. The horse is covered with a red-and-gold shabrack (cavalry saddle), decorated with colourful glass imitating precious stones, and fitted with a decorative gold harness.

This Forest Guardian helps the spirits of animals who have died cross over. She can sometimes be spotted in forests on clear nights, walking with the spirits resting in her feathers, and this is considered by some to be good luck!

Forest Guardian

A modeling exercise. I decided to do a cucco from "Ocarina of Time" because they're adorable. I tried out making the wings with individual feathers, but I think I got a little carried away with the tail feathers.

(I think I applied all of the modifiers on this version though, so the mesh might be a bit of a mess if you download.)

Bonky the Cucco

Ganymede with Jupiter's Eagle, 1817, Bertel Thorvaldsen, Marble. 93,3 x 118,3 cm. Thorvaldsen Museum (Copenhagen, Copenhagen). Made with Memento Beta (now ReMake) from AutoDesk.

In Greek mythology the boy Ganymede was carried up into the sky, to the home of the gods on Olympus to be the gods’ taster. According to legend it was Zeus, in the shape of an eagle, who took the beautiful boy from Phrygia in the north-western part of Asia Minor (Turkey). The effect of Thorvaldsen’s sculpture is created mostly by the contrast between the smooth skin of the boy and his trusting nature, which is juxtaposed by the detailed rendering of the eagle’s feathers, its harsh look and its sharp beak. Ganymede was to take the place of Hebe as the taster of the gods, because she spilled the drink – the nectar – that made the gods immortal. Thorvaldsen modelled the group sculpture in 1817 and it exists in several marble copies.

Inspired by @Saarainfeathers original illustration 'Winter Fox' I painted this scene in #VR using #AnimVR and turned it into a cool, calming forest. While it might be getting warmer here, its always cold somewhere.

Fox in the Winter Forest

The original concept was a phoenix but I wanted to base it off of a real bird that I haven't seen before. So instead I made a lava vulture. I also wanted to explore making wings/feathers for the first time, and found it interstingly challenging to make them tuck inwards when folded.

Magma Buzzard

A realistic bald eagle captured in a neutral flying pose with wings fully spread. The model focuses on natural proportions, clean anatomy, and a balanced silhouette, making it suitable for wildlife scenes, games, animations, and environment renders. Feathers are clearly defined while keeping a realistic overall look, ideal for both close-up shots and distant use.

Bald Eagle Flying Bird Model

A cinematic, hyper-detailed 3D study of a majestic rooster in a traditional Chinese setting.

This model captures the vibrant essence of a rooster perched atop the curved black-tiled roof of a classic Hutong house. Designed with photorealism in mind, the asset features:

Intricate Detail: Specifically textured to highlight the shimmering orange and gold plumage against the iridescent green tail feathers.

Cultural Context: Set against the backdrop of traditional Chinese architecture, featuring ornate roof charms for added authenticity.
Lighting & Atmosphere: Optimized for golden hour rendering, showcasing ray-traced shadows and high-fidelity light interaction on the feathers.
Cinematic Composition: Ideal for low-angle "alley floor" perspective shots to emphasize the scale and majesty of the bird.

**Inspired by a rooster design on a bowl at a restaurant and a Hutong from a Chinese TV series.**

Elegant Celestial Giant Bird

A terrifying, epic phoenix-like creature with strong dragon features and an unnatural presence. Its massive wings are covered in layered, scorched feathers, stretched wide like a living inferno.
