Introduction

This is a high-quality syncerus caffer model with multiple 4K maps, rigging, animation, and fur. It is made with Blender and Cycles renderer at real-world scale. The body maps are in the UDIM format.

The syncerus caffer consists of 16 objects: Body, cornea4, lacrimal glands2, lenses2, pupils2, sclerae*2, tongue, upper teeth, and lower teeth..

Rigging

Created with the Blender armature system, and controllers are equipped with features as follows:

• The facial rigging, with a UI control panel, supports some simple expressions.
• Spine IK/FK
• The neck of IK/FK chains can be switched by the customized attributes of CTR_front_gravity.
• The limbs of IK/FK chains can be switched by the customized attributes of the controllers of feet.
• The IK/FK switches above are not seamless.
• Each hoof has a separate controller.
• And more…

Animations

• Loopable walking animation at 30 FPS, frame range 0-192;
• Loopable running animation at 30 FPS, frame range 0-120;
• Unlooped eating animation at 30 FPS, frame range 0-212;

 Features

• The model is in meter units at real-world scale. 
• To run faster, the Display buttons of the fur are disabled. 
• Put the model in the scene to render without any cleaning.
• No lights and cameras.
• Hair introduction
  • To make the effect more realistic, the rendering time is pretty long because of the large amount of hair. If you want to make the close-up effect more real and beautiful, it’s necessary to pay the price. If used in a distant view, the fur can be optimized. Optimization methods:
  • Decrease the number of hair children, and increase the thickness of hair.
  • Decrease the steps of the Interpolated spine.
