This product was completely updated in December 2021 to include a new file structure with native versions for both Daz Studio and Poser. Seven new birds have been added as well as four new props (for the Kea parrots). Each bird is presented as a ready to render character with 3DL and Iray presets for DAZ Studio, and Firefly and Superfly presets for Poser.
The Threatened, Endangered, Extinct series within the Songbird Remix library is more than a “just another” collection of 3D bird models. It is content with a message and one that enables 3D Artists and Educators to illustrate the struggle and in some case, extinction, of many avian species by creating imagery that not only entertains but educates.
This collection includes the birds found throughout the world that are in trouble, on the brink of extinction or we've lost forever. Critically endangered birds such as the Polynesian Millerbird, Spix‘s Macaw and the threatened Kea.
The Nihoa Millerbird is facing extinction because for a ripple effect from a seemingly innocent introduction of rabbits to its habitat. The rabbits multiplied and ate all the vegetation, which killed off the insect life that the Millerbird needed to survive. Spix‘s Macaw fate was due to introduction of Africanized “killer” bees into its habitat. The bees took over their nesting cavities. The Kea, an unusual alpine parrot (and consider one of the smartest animals on the planet) is threatened because of its ability to adapt the changes man has given it.
Whether you choose to create art with a message or you are simply looking for realistic and attractive birds for your imagery, this package will easily fulfill those needs.
