Rigging

• With full controllers manually created with Blender armature system, postures and animations are easier to create. Features are as follows:
• Ctrl_root controls the whole character.
• Ctrl_spine root controls the center of gravity of the body.
• Ctrl_neck_roll is the controller of the neck with customized attributes.
• Ctrl_head_stretch controls the rotation of the head.
• Ctrl_mouth controls the opening and closing of the mouth.
• Ctrl_eye controls the rotation of the eyes.
• Ctrl_tail_roll 000, Ctrl_tail_roll 001, Ctrl_tail_roll 002, Ctrl_tail_roll 003, Ctrl_tail_roll 004 control the rotation of the tail.
• The controllers of four paws have customized attributes for IK/FK switches, which aren’t seamless.
• And more…

Animations

• Loopable walking animation at 30 FPS, frame range 0-240

Features

• The model is in meter units at real-world scale.
• To run faster, the Display buttons of the fur are disabled. You can enable them if needed.
• Put the model in the scene to render without any cleaning.
• No lights and cameras.
• 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
• Note: Only the initial pose is provided in the project for sale without the pose in the display images.
