UPDATE no.1_______________________________________________________________

As I already mentioned, I intend to continue to work on him. So, what's new?

1. Fixed skeleton
Specialy on a legs long bones , now legs works fine. Also fixed some next issues with animation.

2.Next type of fur
Yeah , now have 8 types of fur . Was added undercoat.

3.Fixed normal map
With problems about decimating polygons, I put some "errors" into normal map. Is visible also on nose, tongue and body siluete.

4. Fixed refractive index
That was fixed primary on fur. With a studio lighting i not see any problem, but problems come when i put this model in to sunny environment.

Also i render them with a bigger resolution and different pose.
That's all ...for now

Original description from first version.___________________________________________

Hi, this is Ritch, Chunky's younger brother.

The macawnivore species was defined in the movie Croods (2013) by DreamWorks, where was presented by a character named Chunky.
When I first saw the macawnivore species, I want to create it, sadly there was no experience. Now, after five years, I finally did him : Ritch the Macawnivore. (Yes, it's combination of colorful macaw and carnivore cat.)

Model and animation:
This model was probably the most complicated thing I ever did,but i love challenging myself .
Creating a base model was fun, but nightmare become in day after. First problem come, base mesh have too many polygons and skeleton not work propertly.
So i must remesh model from 250 000 to 20 000 polygons and create new normal map. Now is model fully rigged with 72 bones on IK skeleton.

Still fun?

Fur:
On this model is over then 6 000 000 dynamic hairs, and 7 different types of fur. Every one was created manualy without script..
On a whole base mesh is 20 000 paths for a hairs grow direction. Every one hair have a physically computed gravity and collision system for the best realistic animation.
And my PC? ....eh burn

I will still work on them, sadly today is end of month and contest come to end, so i must submit what i have
