Key Features
- Customizable Fur: Three material presets to control coat length, density, and color.
- Modular Geometry: Separate meshes for the body, teeth, eyes, and claws.
- Optimized Topology: Clean, subdivision-friendly, low-poly baseline geometry (7.7k polys) for efficient rendering and look-dev.
- Real-World Scale: Modeled accurately in centimeters for effortless integration into existing scenes.
- Organized Scene: Logically named objects and grouped selections for fast, intuitive scene management.
- Plug-and-Play: No special third-party plug-ins required—just drop in and render.
Rigging and Animation
This model features a controller-based feline rig utilizing CAT Motion and animation layers for natural, easily editable movement. It is perfectly suited for keyframing, retargeting, and blending in common animation pipelines. As a production-ready model, it also includes a baked walk animation layer, ready for immediate use in major game engines like Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) and Unity, as well as DCC software like Blender, Maya, and Cinema4D.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does the fur require a specific third-party plugin?
A: No. The hair growth objects are built into the native 3ds Max scene using default tools, so no extra plugins (like Ornatrix or Hair Farm) are needed to render the fur.
Q: Can this be used as a generic wildcat or lynx?
A: Yes! With the included three color variations (Standard, Brown-Gray, Gray) and adjustable coat length/density, it easily doubles as a lynx, mountain cat, or other wild feline.
Ideal for wildlife visualization, AAA game characters, VR/AR demos, and cinematics where fur and close-up realism are absolutely essential.
