A production-ready 3D jaguar designed for animation, VFX work, cinematics, and close-up rendering. This model is built in Blender at real-world scale and comes with full textures, a detailed fur system, a flexible body rig, facial controls, and polished animation cycles.

What’s included

• Native Blender project (hair, rig, animation, Cycles-ready)
• High-resolution texture maps
• Rig with animator-friendly controls and a facial expression panel
• Pre-baked animation clips (walking, running, setting)

Features & workflow conveniences

• No part-name conflicts when importing multiple characters into a scene.
• No external Blender addons required to use the rig and animations.
• Real-world scale and clean topology.
• The fur system was built entirely in Blender, optimized for realism.
• Scene includes neutral lighting and render-ready shading; no lights or cameras are required but they are not included.
• Geometry-only exports allow easy transfer of high-res mesh to other DCCs; expect to re-author hair or re-rig in other packages if required.

File Formats

Included in the download:

Blender (.blend), full rig, hair system, animation, shading

Textures

All maps are high-resolution and optimized for close-up renders:

• Skin Base — 8192×8192
• Body — 4096×4096
• Hair Base — 8192×8192
• Oral Cavity Base — 4096×4096

Maps include basecolor and hair maps; other supporting maps (normal, roughness, specular, masks) are included in the Blender project where applicable.

Rigging

The jaguar features an animation-ready control system built for flexible posing and stable deformation. Core features include:

• IK/FK switchable limbs
• Stretchable legs and arms
• Pole vector controls for elbows and knees
• Customizable follow for neck and head
• Facial control panel for expressions
• Cartilage controllers along the body, tail, limbs, and neck for natural secondary motion
• Foot system with load-bearing behavior, claw opening/closing, paw pad compression, and nail extension
• The rig is designed to be intuitive for animators and predictable in motion.

Animations

All clips run at 30 fps and are ready for rendering or retargeting:

• Running cycle
• Walking cycle
• Setting cycle

Hair System

The jaguar’s dense fur contributes to high visual realism but also increases render time.

Hair can be optimized for faster previews:

• Reduce hair children count; increase individual hair thickness to preserve the silhouette.
• Lower interpolation steps.
• Use viewport/hair display toggles for layout and animation passes; enable full hair for final renders only.
• Bake dynamics for repetitive cycles (runs, walks) to avoid per-frame simulation cost.

Ideal Use Cases

Film/VFX shots, wildlife documentaries, educational content, realistic previs, high-end renders, and game cinematic production.
