Meerkat Animated | Vfx Grace
Introduction
This is a high-quality meerkat model with textures, fur, rigging, and 4 realistic animations. The model features realistic muscle structure, with UDIM maps created in 4K resolution, resulting in highly realistic effects. A complex and realistic fur system was created in Blender, achieving a lifelike fur effect. This model is made with Blender and Cycles renderer at real-world scale.
Description
It consists of the body, claws, eyes, gums, lacrimal glands, pupils, sclerae, teeth and tongue.

Features
Fur Details
The fur uses texture maps and requires adjustment in Blender 3.4, you'll need to set "Texture Properties" -> "Mapping" -> "Map" to UVMap. The fur layers using texture maps include:
Meerkat_Body_Hair01
Meerkat_Body_Hair05
Meerkat_Body_Hair06
Meerkat_Body_Hair07
Meerkat_Body_Hair09
Meerkat_Body_Hair10
Note
For rendering, use Blender 4.0 to avoid flickering issues with fur in Blender 3.5 and 3.6.
The model is in meter units at real-world scale.
In the project, fur display is turned off for efficient workflow and can be enabled when needed.
Apart from the above instructions, the character can be directly rendered in your project.
