The kiwi is a strange bird to model well. It has no useful wings, its plumage behaves more like coarse hair than feathers, and almost all of its character sits in the long bill and the low, rounded stance. This model leans into that: the body is built round and heavy, the legs are set well back, and the bill carries the slight downward curve that makes the bird instantly readable.
The mesh runs to 143,373 polygons and 281,635 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs. The high vertex count relative to polygons is what a soft, rounded animal needs - it keeps the silhouette smooth where a flatter cage would show facets along the back and the crown.
A version with fur grooming sits on this page at the same $99, for renders where the plumage has to be seen rather than implied. Built to StemCell specification, so both builds go straight into a real-time engine as well as an offline render.
