Introduction

This is a realistic rat model with 4K maps, rigging, hair, and 3 animations. And UDIM UV is applied to the body for more details. The skin map is made separately for a more realistic effect. The model is made with Blender and Cycles renderer at real-world scale.

The model consists of 6 objects: Body, eyes, claws, oral cavity and teeth, tongue.
