Introduction

This is a high-quality female European mouflon character. The project includes the model, textures, hair, rig, and animation. All hair is created using the XGen Interactive Groom system, delivering highly detailed hair. The character materials are built with the Arnold renderer, accurately reproducing the natural look and surface qualities. The rig is constructed based on realistic skeletal proportions, making the animation more consistent with natural movement. The scene includes a complete rig setup and 4 realistic animations. Created in Maya 2024 at real-world scale, this character is suitable for film, animation, and high-precision character showcases.

Features

Model Details: The model consists of the body, pupils, sclerae, teeth, and tongue.
Textures and Materials: There are 14 .tx files which support Arnold, all in 4K resolution for best quality and details. The materials of the character and the hair are rendered with Arnold renderer to present realistic effects. There are 2 UV sets of the body, which support single quadrant or multiple quadrants.
XGen hair: XGen interactive is used for presenting the details of the hair faster, and all maps of density and modifier masks for hair layering are included externally, all masks are in 1K resolution.

Caveats

The XGen hair in this Maya character asset has been converted to interactive grooming, offering fast loading and efficient rendering. Although the original guides are not included, you can customize the hair by adding XGen modifiers as needed. All XGen hair in the scene is set up with Arnold materials, ready for rendering.
By default, Arnold uses GPU as the render device, and the sampling setting is suitable for medium quality output, as is shown in the preview image of the character. If you need a fine-tuned image, you can modify Arnold settings to your hardware limit.
The animation scene comes with Arnold lighting, which can be modified if required.
Except for the above, the character can be rendered directly.
