Introduction

These are high-quality reindeer models with multiple 4K maps, rigging, animation, fur, and sculpting in part. And they are made by Blender and Cycles renderer at real-world scale. The body maps and fur maps are made separately, which can make the characters more realistic.

They consist of 9 objects: Body, antlers, pupils, tears, sclerae,  lacrimal gland, tongue, upper jaw, lower jaw.

Rigging

With full controllers, postures and animations are easier to create.

• TFacial rigging is available.
• The head is limited to follow the neck to rotate, the neck and tail are limited to follow the body to rotate. The limit can be switched by the custom attributes of CTR_SpineRoot controller.
• Leg IK/FK can be switched by custom attributes.
• There are no custom attributes to switch the stretch control over the legs.

Animations

ReinDeer_Male

• Running: the hair dynamics is baked from beginning to 40th frame and the render range of display video is 24-48.
• Trotting: the hair dynamics is baked from the beginning to 131st frame and the render range of display video is 21-131.
• Walking: the hair dynamics is baked from the beginning to the 126th frame and the render range of display video is 30-126.

ReinDeer_Female

• Walking: the hair dynamics is baked from the beginning to the 128th frame and the render range of display video is 32-128.

Features

1. The model is in meter units at real-world scale.
2. The Display button of the fur is disabled.
3. Just put the model in the scene to render without cleaning.
4. The hair dynamics have been baked, please toggle off Hair Dynamics when the models need to be moved.
5. 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 it is used in a distant view, the fur can be optimized. Optimization methods:

1. Decreasing the number of hair children and increasing the thickness of hair.
2. Decreasing the steps of the interpolated spine.
