Description
Realistic animated Dachshund (sausage dog) 3D model built for high-end close-up renders, video production, and animation pipelines. Featuring a beautifully detailed, realistic groomed fur coat, this asset delivers exceptional realism. Modeled to an accurate real-world scale (metric, centimeters) with logically organized object hierarchies (separate body, teeth, eyes, and paw pillows), ensuring a seamless, conflict-free drop-in experience for your 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 strict, highly optimized geometry with accurate, animation-ready edge loops tailored for clean deformation. The mesh is fully optimized for polygon efficiency and fast viewport playback. For offline rendering and extreme close-ups, the model is subdivision-ready, allowing for effortless increases in geometry resolution.
Rigging & Animation Details (CAT)
This model is equipped with a robust, production-friendly rig designed for flexible animation workflows and features a comprehensive suite of included animations:
- Rigged with the 3ds Max CAT system, fully supporting both IK and FK workflows.
- Core Animations & Poses: Absolute (Abs) Default Pose, Absolute Sitting Pose, and a CATMotion Layer for procedural movement.
- Local (+L) Adjustments: Walk Adjustment (25f), Eyes Closed, Mouth Opened, Look Right, Tail Down.
- Advanced Controls: Features dedicated Pose Fixes and an Adjustment Layer for fine-tuning your custom animations.
Coat & Groomed Fur System
To achieve the highest level of visual fidelity, this Dachshund features a dense, realistic groomed fur coat styled using nine different hair growth objects. The hair density is specifically engineered to hold up beautifully in close-up shots. Each growth object sits on its own dedicated layer, allowing you to easily enable or disable them at any time. Pro Tip: For much smoother viewport playback before and during animation, hide the hair and fur layers to maximize software performance.
Texture Suite
The model is fully textured with all materials applied and ready for rendering. All colors and materials have been engineered to be easily modifiable, allowing you to quickly adapt the asset to your specific art direction. Max models are grouped for easy selection, and all objects are logically named so no additional clean-up is required—simply drop the model into your scene and start rendering.
Important Notes for Buyers
- Render & Engine Setup: Native, ready-to-render scenes are provided (preview images were rendered using Arnold). Preview lighting environments and HDRIs used in the renders are included within the native scenes. No special plug-ins are required to open the file.
- Exchange Formats: Exported formats retain clean hierarchies for immediate deployment. All hair guides are included in the native 3ds Max files and are also exported separately to the FBX file format.
- Model Variations: This is the fully animated Dachshund featuring a dense groomed fur system. Static, rigged, and simplified fur variations are available separately in our store.
Dedicated Support
We stand by our assets. All native and exchange formats have been carefully exported and verified. If you require a different software format, a custom adjustment, or need assistance integrating the model into your pipeline, free file-format conversions and dedicated support are available upon request.
