The model fully debugged, rigged and rendered.
A few new features added, such as pawpads and NHair driven dynamic tail. As well as a few minor consistancy fixes.

oh yeah, all my characters use IK on their limbs because posing them would be a nightmare without it. The rig itself includes some very complicated features. some of which might be exclusive to maya. such as spline driven IK (for the dynamic tail),multi-axis rotation driven bone translation, (for smoother bone movements) rotation driven morphs (for more realistic mesh deformations during animation) several facial morph targets and dynamic hair (not on this one)
Right now all my more recent models use mesh hair, basically stretched out cones layers over and over to look like strands. Its not dynamic, but it works very well for realtime stuff and takes much less guesswork than maya fur or maya hair,
I have experimented with full body fur a long time ago and the results were generally underwhelming. most models were incredibly slow to render and all the anatomical detail was washed over by the thick fur. Heh, thousands of hairs? try millions. Thats the industry standard for full body fur.

You...you've done the impossible. There were so many digital artists and render's who looked at the Sergal, hissed in pain and avoided this thing, like a vampire does garlic and holy water and sunlight (Only real vamps fear that still)
This is impressive, well done. What are your future plans with this pretty design?
