THE BRIEF
We were asked to create a realistic leopard and were more than up for the challenge. Using 3D Studio Max we leveraged the hair/fur plugin, "Ornatrix", to create the fur for our character using various custom maps to control everything from hair length, to clumping and frizzing. The character was broken down into Body, Legs (below the knee), Head/Neck, Tail and Inner Ears with a little extra overlap of faces to help blend between each separate hair cap.
We had a custom rig created that has muscles on top of the skeleton driving the skin movement. For extra juiciness we had skin sliding added on top of the muscles for the areas that have looser skin on the leopard like around the leg joints. The leopard is completely rigged with facial morph targets and controllers to create specific facial expressions.
