cgtrader

This Cinema 4D v16-compatible killer whale (Orcinus orca) model boasts anatomical accuracy, full rigging, animation, and texturing, making it ready for rendering. The model comes with a user-friendly, organized rig that includes a visual selector and parametric animation features. It's rigged using a powerful Character object with custom components. A separate 'SHADOW' hierarchy of deformation joints enables animation baking to transforms, allowing export to real-time apps or game engines. The visual selector expedites interaction while dynamics on fins and spine add realism. Parametric swimming motion built into the spine component simplifies animation by controlling frequency, amplitude, wave length, and blending for each spine control. The model can swim along any specified path using CMotion. As a bonus, it includes a character template file (kinetic_fishRig.c4d) to adjust proportions for various fish types while retaining procedural animation and visual selector features. This rig is adaptable for rigging numerous swimming creatures. Check the tutorial video to witness its power and ease of use. Don't hesitate to ask questions or request other formats.
