Leopard 3D Model Animatedby PROmax3D
Rigged Leopard 3D Model — Animated & Game-Ready
Production‑ready big cat asset for VFX, CGI, games, and VR/AR. Built in 3ds Max 2023 (Arnold), fully rigged with CAT, and shipped with loop‑ready Walk (45f) and Run (18f) animations. Includes high‑resolution 4K textures and clean, subdivision‑friendly topology.
What’s New — v1.3 (Updated: Oct 3, 2025)
- Native scenes: 3ds Max 2023 (Arnold 5.4.4.2).
- Added & organized locomotion: CATMotion hosts Walk 35f & Run 25f; Baked Walk 45f provided as a separate layer for collapsed use. Improved loop/blend compatibility across actions.
-
Fixes applied: Clean
.FBXexports (baked animation; corrected skin settings) and improved Pounce animation.
Overview
Realistic Leopard (Panthera pardus) 3D model accurately scaled to real‑world units (Meters). The rig uses CAT with organized layers and named controls. Geometry is optimized for polygon efficiency and supports additional smoothing (TurboSmooth) when higher fidelity is required. Assets are cleanly named and grouped for straightforward scene management—no plugins or cleanup needed.
Key Features
- High‑quality polygonal model with clean topology; subdivision‑friendly.
- True‑to‑scale with Display Unit Scale set to Metric — Meters.
- Rigged with CAT; organized layers and logical object names.
-
Loop‑ready locomotion: CATMotion Walk 35f & Run 25f; plus Baked Walk 45f (all embedded in
.FBX/.DAE). - Pose/Facial adjustments: Eyes Closed, Mouth Closed, Roar.
- Drop‑in ready: Materials and textures applied; no special plugins required.
- Optimized workflow: Grouped nodes; no part‑name conflicts when importing multiple models.
