Someone on my Discord asked if I could add a chicken avatar to APS so here they are!
These are chickens rigged for full body mocap, and they even include dynamicbone. The hen model was downloaded from Blendswap and I built it as a mocap avatar for APS.

blendshapes are used to creat the "pecking" effect and are linked to the VR controller, so by pulling the trigger quickly makes the chicken peck! I thik this adds a layer of realism and looks far better than just simple motion capture alone!

Animation was rendered in Blender EEVEE but was simply the raw mocap from APS.
