I did this project to practice fur creatin with XGen. And of course, because I always wanted to create a big cat. Working with XGen is a lot of fun.

I started modeling here in ZBrush, and then I did the retopo + UVs in Maya. Afterward, I reprojected and finished the sculpt in ZB. Then I created the Textures in Mari. And then I did the groom with XGen in Maya.
To finalize the fur textures, I switched between Maya and Mari.
