Hyena
A hyena is built on a slope. The forequarters are far taller and heavier than the hindquarters, which gives the animal its characteristic downhill stance and its rolling gait, and a rig built on standard canine proportions will not produce that walk. This build arrives rigged with that geometry solved.
It is prepared for Cinema 4D, so the deformation is already working in the application the animation will happen in. On a quadruped with unusual proportions that preparation saves real time, because the shoulder and hip weighting is precisely what takes longest to get right.
Two more rigged builds share this page at the same $199, prepared for Modo and for Maya. Aimed at wildlife documentary, natural history and education, advertising, film and television, and games. Built to CheckMate specification, on sale since 2021.
