Description
Photorealistic animated caracal 3D model (with realistic fur) highly optimized for high-end cinematic films, video productions, VR environments, and extreme close-up CGI renders. Modeled to an accurate real-world scale with logically organized object hierarchies (featuring separately modeled body, teeth, and eyes), this asset ensures a seamless, conflict-free drop-in experience for your complex production scenes.
100% Handcrafted & Animation-Ready Topology
Zero AI generation was used in the creation of this asset. Every polygon was meticulously placed by hand to ensure a clean, highly optimized mesh tailored for flawless deformation during movement. For high-resolution offline rendering and macro close-ups, the core mesh is fully subdivision-ready (compatible with the 3ds Max MeshSmooth function), allowing for effortless increases in geometry detail.
Realistic 3D Hair & Fur System
To achieve an unparalleled level of visual fidelity, this caracal features a dedicated, fully groomed 3D hair and fur system. Absolutely no special third-party plug-ins are required to open the scene and render the stunning fur details. Bonus: The texture suite includes a unique "Mutant" fur color map, allowing you to instantly swap the animal's aesthetic for fantasy, sci-fi, or stylized projects!
Advanced Rigging & Animation Cycles (CAT)
This model is equipped with a robust, production-friendly rig designed for maximum control. It is fully rigged using the 3ds Max CAT system (featuring full FK and IK capabilities) and is completely ready for custom keyframing or instant drop-in cycles. The rig includes a comprehensive suite of pre-built animation layers:
- Base Poses (Absolute Layers): T-Pose, Sitting Pose, Turn Pose, Look Up Pose, and a custom Signature Pose.
- CATMotion Layers (Ready-to-Use Cycles): Walk cycle (36 frames) and Run cycle (16 frames), completely editable through the CATMotion Editor.
- Movement Adjustments: Local (+L) Walk and Run adjustment layers to perfectly ground and tweak your motion cycles.
- Facial, Head & Tail Controls (+L): Tail Down, Eyes Closed, Mouth Closed, Head Adjustment, and Head Look Into Camera for dynamic acting.
Pro Tip for Animators: You can instantly utilize the pre-built CATMotion layers to drop a cycle directly into your game engine or project, or utilize the Absolute (Abs) layers to craft your own custom animations from scratch!
