Introduction
This is a high-quality lioness model with maps, fur and rigging. The fur is created in XGen interactive with enough details, and all textures are rendered with Arnold renderer for realistic effects. The rigging is created with reference to real bones, making the animation in line with natural movements. The model is created with Maya 2024 at real-world scale.

Features
It consists of the body, nipples, paws, eyes, lacrimal caruncles, upper teeth, and lower teeth.
Textures and materials: There are 18 .tx files which support Arnold, all in 4K resolution for best quality and details. The materials of the character and the hair are rendered with Arnold renderer to present realistic effects. There are 2 UV sets of the body, which support single quadrant or multiple quadrants.
XGen hair: XGen interactive is used for presenting the details of the hair faster, and all maps of density and modifier masks for hair layering are included externally, all masks are in 1K resolution.

Rigging
With fine controllers, it's easier to create postures and animations, the features are as follows:

CTR_crv_Root: Controls the entire model.
CTR_crv_M_torse: Controls CTR_crv_gravity.
CTR_crv_gravity: Controls the movement of the entire body except the paws.
CTR_crv_M_spine_ro: Controls the front half of the body starting from the middle of the spine.
CTR_crv_F_spine, CTR_crv_B_spine, CTR_crv_M_spine_po: Control the anterior, posterior, and middle spine, respectively.
CTR_crv_B_spine: Comes with customized attributes:

CTR_crv_L/R_F/B_claw: Controllers for the toenails, mainly for rotating the toenails.
Additionally, there are more face controllers, and more body controllers.

Specifications
File format: Saved as .mb files by default. It can be saved as .ma files if necessary.
Version supported: Created with Maya 2024.2. Maya 2024 or above is recommended for compatibility.

Caveats
To run faster, the fur is hidden, which should be displayed before rendering.
The hair of the characters is created in XGen Interactive with Arnold materials ready for rendering.
By default, Arnold uses GPU as the render device, and the sampling setting is suitable for medium quality output, as is shown in the preview image of the character. If you need a fine-tuned image, you can modify Arnold settings to your hardware limit.
The animation scene comes with Arnold lighting, which can be modified if required.
Except for the above, the character can be rendered directly.
