Introduction

This is a high-quality female ursus arctos model with maps, fur, rigging and two animations. The fur is created in XGen interactive with enough details, and all textures are rendered with Arnold renderer for realistic effects. The rigging is created with reference to real bones, making the animation in line with natural movements. The model is created with Maya 2024 at real-world scale.

It consists of the body, paws, pupils, sclerae and lacrimal glands.
Textures and materials: There are 17 .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.

Rigging

With fine controllers, it's easier to create postures and animations, the features are as follows:
UrsusArctos_Female_Root controls the entire model.
CTR_body_root controls the center of gravity.
CTR_spine_a controls the posterior spine. It comes with a customized attribute:
IKFK switches between IK/FK of the neck.
CTR_spine_b controls the middle spine.
CTR_spine_c controls the anterior spine.
CTR_neck controls the neck.
CTR_FK_neck_a, CTR_FK_neck_b ... are FK controllers of the neck.
CTR_IK_neck_a, CTR_IK_neck_b ... are IK controllers of the neck.
CTR_head controls the head.
CTR_sight controls the eyes.
CTR_blink_R and CTR_blink_L control the blinking animation.
CTR_jaw controls the jaw and the opening and closing of the mouth.
CTR_FK_tongue_a, CTR_FK_tongue_b, Twich_tongue_a, Twich_tongue_b ... control the tongue.
CTR_ear_a_L, CTR_ear_b_L, CTR_ear_a_R, CTR_ear_b_R ... control the ears.
CTR_tail_1, CTR_tail_2 ... control the tail.
CTR_Shoulders_F_L and CTR_Shoulders_F_R control the scapula.
CTR_Shoulders_B_L and CTR_Shoulders_B_R control the hip bone.
CTR_leg_f_R and CTR_leg_f_L are IK controllers of the front legs.
CTR_leg_B_R and CTR_leg_B_L are IK controllers of the hind legs.
Additionally, there are more auxiliary controllers of the body.
And more ...

Specifications

File format: Saved as .mb files by default. It can be saved as .ma files if necessary.
Version supported: Created with Maya 2024.2. Maya 2024 or above is recommended for compatibility.

Caveats

To run faster, the fur is hidden, which should be displayed before rendering.
The hair of the characters is created in XGen Interactive 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.
