Overview

High-fidelity male lion asset optimized for film, VFX, and real-time preview pipelines. Built at real-world scale in Blender with a physically-plausible hair system, muscle-driven deformations, and a concise, animator-friendly rig. Includes five polished animations and fully layered UDIM texture sets for close-up cinematics.

What you get

• Blender project file (native, Blender + Cycles-ready)
• OBJ export (geometry only — no rig/animation)
• Full texture set (UDIM 4K maps)
• Rig with animator controls and facial system
• Four animation clips (walk, run, lying, watching)
• Real-world scale: Meters

Texture sets

• Body (UDIM): BaseColor / Normal / Roughness / Specular / SubsurfaceAmount — 4096×4096 (UDIM tiles)
• Teeth & nails: 4096×4096
• Eyes: 2048×2048 (mask + basecolor)
• All maps supplied in PNG / JPG where appropriate.

Formats

• .blend (native Blender project with hair, rig, animations)
• .obj (geometry-only export)

Rig & Facial System

Production-oriented, animator-friendly rig with global and localized controls for reliable posing and performance. Core features:

• Global root + torso controllers for body weighting and center-of-mass adjustments.
• FK/IK switching on limbs with roll and pad controls for natural paw placement.
• Spline/IK tail setup and layered FK tail controls.
• Multi-controller head & neck system with head-track and jaw controls.
• Detailed facial controls: eyes (look/iris dilation), blink channels, brows, and mouth corner / show-teeth attributes.
• Tailored attributes for IK/FK blending and behavioral constraints (e.g., Head_follow, Neck_follow, Tail_IKFK).

Animations

All animations baked and scene-ready (30fps):

• Lying
• Watching
• Running
• Walking

Production Notes & Workflow Tips

• Mane hair system is authored in Blender; fur is toggled off for viewport performance and enabled for final renders.
• Mane dynamics for the Walk/Run clips are pre-baked for immediate use.
• Asset is delivered in Blender and fully tested with Cycles. Exported OBJ provides geometry for cross-DCC workflows but excludes hair, rig, and baked animations.

Compatibility

• Primary support: Blender (full feature parity).
• Cross-software: If your pipeline relies on Maya/3ds Max/Cinema 4D, expect that hair, rigging, and animation will not transfer cleanly — manual rework will be required.

Use cases

Feature VFX, animated sequences, cinematic previs, advertising, educational visualization, portfolio shots, and real-time prototyping.
