Looking at various references they started modeling the panther, the details of the anatomy was taken into account while modeling. Textures were painted for the teeth, gums and the tongue and applied on the 3D mesh of the panther. To add more credibility to the shots, the saliva was made in CG. For the team, the most challenging process was the animation as the muscle movements on the panthers body was complicated.
