Description
Here's my latest shorebird bird, the Cattle Egret... I added a "quickie" texture to the 'ancient' DAZ cow model (which was awful-- I think it's a considerable improvement considering the UV map I had to work with).
Cool facts about Cattle Egrets: Cattle Egrets are found throughout the world in tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones and actually do hang with cattle.
The Cattle Egret is a popular bird with cattle ranchers for its perceived role as a biocontrol of cattle parasites such as ticks and flies. A study in Australia found that Cattle Egrets reduced the number of flies that bothered cattle by pecking them directly off the skin.
Rendered in Vue 7i with some minor postwork (to the cow)
