I've been blown away by photorealistic architecture or vehicle stills, but this is just on another level altogether. It's a perfect model of an imperfect bird. Perfect texturing, perfect movement; the subtlety is everything - from the light feather movements to the head and eye motion, inspiring all around.
That fur texture was set very nice and your rigging of the animation of the character runs smoothly. I felt the bird was real enough to make me feel satisfy. Good work!
What sells this is whatever hair and fur like plugin or particle system he's using. I can't even begin to imagine how you would make it. The modeling of the bird itself, while impressive, isn't beyond the ability of many people with halfway decent skills, and since it's not a humanoid, the skinning would have been ridiculously easy. The rigging could've problematic, though not impossible. I imagine he has a couple flex modifiers on the wings for the flapping. Still, it's an amazing job.
I love how the artist pays attention to detail. The 'practice' wing beat is amazing, and the small things like the tail twitch makes an animation really come alive. Good job!
Wow, this is beautifully rendered! I hope someday I can learn how to do these kinds of things, but I still have a long way to go in 2D animation first. There's something about the way the wings are animated that still seems a little mechanical, and I'm pretty sure it's because I only see them moving up and down. The way birds use their wings to fly is by using them kind of like paddles for rowing a boat. This is really just a nit-pick though... ^^'

The bird looked great, but what was really amazing was his attention to detail on how a bird moves.

This is the most amazing and realistic render I have ever seen! It pretty much sums up my dreams as a 3D artist.

Beautiful work! I'd love to know how to rig wings like that.. Awesome.
nice creation :)
I liove how the wind seems to play with the feathers around its legs there. Just stunning. I'm guessing the rig will have taken you a while to make.
This made me really happy for some reason.
