Introduction

This is a high-quality springbok model with multiple texture maps, rigging, animation, and fur. It is made with Blender and Cycles renderer at real-world scale.

It consists of 6 objects: Body, eyes, horns, lacrimal glands, teeth, and tongue.

Polygons

• Body: vertices 49,602 polygons 49,542
• Eyes: vertices 3,048 polygons 2,976
• Horns: vertices 534 polygons 3,520
• Lacrimal glands: vertices 854 polygons 850
• Teeth: vertices 7,392 polygons 7,040
• Tongue: vertices 586 polygons 584
• Total: vertices 61,540 polygons 60,992

Formats

There is a Blender project and an OBJ file.

Rigging

Created with the Blender armature system, and full controllers are equipped with features as follows:

• Facial rigging supports some detailed animation, such as blinking/closing eyes and lips stretching, etc.
• CTR_ROOT controls the whole model.
• ROOT_gravity controls the center of gravity of the body with the customized attributes that switch whether the head, neck, and tail rotate following the body.
• CTR_tail_a-f controls the rotation of the tail.
• CTR_neck_a-f controls the rotation of the neck.
• CTR_head controls the movements of the head.
• CTR_ear_a-g.L/R controls the rotation of the ears.
• CTR_chin_a/b controls the opening and closing of the mouth.
• Eye_ROOT controls the rotation of eyes.
• CTR_eyelid_D.L/R  controls the movements of upper eyelids.
• CTR_eyelid_U.L/R  controls the movements of lower eyelids.
• CTR_breath controls the breath on the belly.
• The controllers of the four paws are all with the attributes of the IK/FK switch and IK stretch.
• And more…

Animations

• Loopable walking animation at 30 FPS, frame range 0-163;
• Loopable running animation at 30 FPS, frame range 0-12;
• Unlooped eating animation at 30 FPS, frame range 1-163;
• Unlooped watching animation at 30 FPS, frame range 0-150;

Features

• The model is in meter units at real-world scale. 
• To run faster, the Display buttons of the fur are disabled. You can enable them if needed.
• Put the model in the scene to render without any cleaning.
• The hair dynamics have been baked. If models need to be moved, please turn off Hair Dynamics, or else some errors of hair style will appear.
• No lights and cameras.
• To make the effect more realistic, the rendering time is pretty long because of the large amount of hair. If you want to make the close-up effect more real and beautiful, it’s necessary to pay the price. If used in a distant view, the fur can be optimized. Optimization methods:
  • Decrease the numbers of hair children
  • Increase the thickness of hair.
  • Decrease the steps of Interpolated spine
