Introduction

This is a high-quality red fox 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.

Features

It consists of the body, paws, eyelid 01, eyelid 02, eyes, tongue and teeth.
Textures and materials: There are 14 .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 the 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 for 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:
CTR_Root controls the overall movement.
CTR_gravity controls the center of gravity, it comes with a custom attribute ""Neck FK IK"" which switches between IK and FK of the neck.
CTR_IK_spine_a is the controller of the posterior spine.
CTR_IK_spine_b is the controller of the middle spine.
CTR_IK_spine_c is the controller of the anterior spine.
CTR_FK_neck_a, CTR_FK_neck_b... are FK controllers of the neck.
CTR_IK_neck is the IK controller of the neck.
CTR_eye_R, CTR_eye_L, CTR_eye are controllers of the eyes. CTR_eye comes with a customized attribute ""Blink"" to control blinking animation.
CTR_ear_a_L, CTR_ear_b_L, CTR_ear_a_R, CTR_ear_b_R... are controllers of the ears.
CTR_roll_ear_L, CTR_roll_ear_R are controllers for the overall rotation of the ears.
CTR_palate controls the upper palate.
CTR_chin controls the jaw, and the opening and closing of the mouth.
CTR_jaw controls the opening and closing of the lower jaw.
CTR_tail_1, CTR_tail_2... CTR_tail_9 are controllers of the tail.
CTR_tail_roll controls the overall rotation of the tail.
CTR_Shoulders_F_L, CTR_Shoulders_F_R are controllers of the scapulae.
CTR_Shoulders_B_L, CTR_Shoulders_B_R are controllers of the hip bone.
CTR_belly is the controller of the abdomen.
CTR_Foot_F_L, CTR_Foot_F_R are IK controllers of the front legs.
CTR_Foot_B_L, CTR_Foot_B_R are IK controllers of the hind legs
CTR_ROLL_foot_B_L, CTR_ROLL_foot_B_L are load-bearing controllers of the hind legs.
CTR_ROLL_foot_b_F_L, CTR_roll_foot_b_F_R are load-bearing controllers of the front legs.
Additionally, the body comes with more auxiliary controllers.
And more.

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.
