Dynamic Hair Grooming Study - Cat

Maine Coon Fur Simulation
A full-CG simulation and visual study focusing on dynamic hair grooming and natural feline movement. This piece features a virtual version of my Maine Coon cat, gently cleaning her paws with her tongue. I have focused my attention to fur behavior and subtle secondary simulations, so I used a simple existing animation as a base for the exercise I would like to further refine it to make it look even more realistic in the future. The visuals are exported directly from within Blender, without any postprocessing.

The project started as an 8 hour experiment. To see the difference an extra bit of work can make, this was the initial result.
