Usage Notes

Ensure your Unreal Engine version is 5.2 or higher to achieve optimal performance and compatibility.
The model adopts the Groom hair system. Please ensure that the 'groom' plugin in the plugins is enabled.
The hair is binding to the model, so please make sure to enable the 'support Computer Skin Cache' option in the project settings.
Given the high precision of the model, textures, and the extensive amount of fur, it's suggested for use on higher-end devices.
When importing into your project, ensure to maintain the directory structure to guarantee all linked assets load correctly.
Adjustments to the fur material's brightness and reflectivity may be needed based on your scene's lighting.
