Introduction

This is a high-quality warthog character, including the model, textures, hair, rigging, and animation. The hair is created in XGen interactive with enough details, and all materials are built with Arnold renderer for realistically replicating the appearance and texture of a real mellivora. The rigging is created with reference to real bones, making the animation in line with natural movements. The project provides a complete rigging setup along with 4 realistic animations. This character was created at real-world scale using Maya 2024, suitable for film, animation, and high-precision character presentation scenarios.

Features

Model Details: The model consists of the body, lacrimal glands, upper oral cavity, lower oral cavity, pupils, sclerae, lacrimal caruncles, upper teeth, lower teeth, tongue, Stone01, Stone02, Stone03, big tusks, and small tusks.
Textures and Materials: There are 24 .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.

Specifications

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

Caveats

The XGen hair in this Maya character asset has been converted to interactive grooming, offering fast loading and efficient rendering. Although the original guides are not included, you can customize the hair by adding XGen modifiers as needed. All XGen hair in the scene is set up 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.
