Hello, I am studying the characterization of four-legged animals. Can you share your finished four-legged animal files?

[@JoCoAnim]

there you go drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_5fh5VRTyLvPRXgKbHWwkGje2jhcvWTW?usp=sharing Please only use for personal study. Do not publish work using this model for it is copyrighted. Btw this is 6 years old. I wouldn't to the TPose like that if I had to do it again. Weirdly this was modeled with the paws hanging down instead of resting as in on a flat surface, supporting the creature's wait. So assuming that was the case, I would orthographically oriented the legs and arms so they're strictly under the body, nicely perpendicular to the ground (like you'd do with a biped's legs). Kind like how quadruped dinosaurs have their legs under their body, unlike regular reptiles (lizards, crocodiles...) who have their legs bent outward (to be clear, even if I had to characterized such animal, I'd straighten their legs down to have a consistent way of posing all quads). Finally the most important is to go in the Character's properties once you defined your skeleton and spawned the control rig, and play around with the Foot Contacts option in case you have a hoofed or digitigrade limbs + possibly checked the inverted joint option
