Usage Notes

Ensure your Unreal Engine version is 5.2 or higher to achieve optimal performance and compatibility
Since the project's textures utilize virtual texturing, ensure the "Virtual Texturing" option is enabled in UE prior to use.
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.
