Lion Family 3D Models – Rigged & Animated Bundle (Lion, Lioness & Cub)

Bring authentic wildlife motion and fur detail to your scene with a production-ready lion family—a rigged and animated Lion, Lioness, and Lion Cub. Each character features loopable animations, subdivision-friendly topology, and high-resolution textures for close-ups. Ideal for VFX, CGI, cinematics, rendering, and game cut-scenes.

Key Features

• Rigged & Animated (CAT): Full-body CAT rigs with FK/IK controls for paws, spine, neck, tail, and head. Includes loopable walk and run cycles (sample lengths ˜ walk 50f, run 18f) plus editable timing/stride in the CAT Motion Editor.
• Pose & performance layers: Absolute layers for natural variations such as T-Pose, Stand, Sit, Rest, Angry/Defense, Hunt, Look Aside, Jump, Roar, Headshakes, and Mouth/Eyes Close. Blend, tweak, or author new layers as needed.
• Realistic grooming: Mane and body hair crafted natively with 3ds Max Hair & Fur (lion, lioness). The cub uses an Ornatrix-based groom with spline-guided strands for animation-friendly deformation.
• Clean, efficient topology: Subdivision-friendly polygonal meshes designed for stable skinning and close-up deformation.
• Physically-based look: PBR-ready materials and consistent texture sets for reliable lighting and shading across engines and renderers.
• Scene hygiene: Metric units, logically named groups, organized layers, and ready-to-use assets—drop into your scene and start rendering.

Textures (up to 8K)

• Body & Fur: Color/Albedo, Normal, Bump/Specular; hair distribution, clumping/strand, and root/tip maps for mane and coat.
• Mouth/Teeth: Diffuse/Color, Bump/Normal, SSS/scale where applicable.
• Eyes: Diffuse/Color and Specular layers.

Formats Included (Exchange Only)

• FBX: T-Pose (rigged & weighted) + Walk and Run cycles.
• DAE (Collada): T-Pose + Walk and Run cycles.
• OBJ: Static meshes for look-dev and interchange.

Use Cases

• Cinematics, TV spots, trailers, educational content, previs & look-dev.
• Game cut-scenes and pre-rendered sequences needing realistic animals.

Notes

• No postwork on preview renders—what you see reflects the in-scene look.
• Morph targets are included where helpful for facial/pose refinements.
• Subdivision-friendly meshes support higher density when required.
