Introduction

This is a high-quality ladybug 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, wings, shell, legs, eyes and teeth.
Textures and materials: There are 6 .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.
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.

Animations

Loopable scuttle animation at 30 fps, frame range 1-9
Loopable flying animation at 30 fps, frame range 1-5

Rigging

With fine controllers, it's easier to create postures and animations, the features are as follows:
Ladybug_CTR_Root controls the entire model.
CTR_body: Controls the body.
CTR_spine_a: Root controller for the lower body,
CTR_spine_b: Root controller for the upper body,
CTR_crv_thigh_a/b/c_L/R_attr: Controls the leg IK/FK attributes, with customized attributes:
IK_FK switches between IK/FK for the legs;
IK_Stretch controls the IK stretch limit;
Pole_Vector_Follow controls whether the pole vector follows foot movement;
Stretch_Control_Vis controls the visibility of secondary stretch controllers.
CTR_IK_roll_ankle_a/b/c_L/R: IK weight-bearing controller for the legs.
CTR_foot_L_a/b/c: Root foot controller.
Additionally, the body has more auxiliary controllers.
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.
