The “Lusebenecke” was named Julius Benecke and cared little about personal hygiene, constantly scratching his whole body. Lice plagued him as well as his dog. Whenever he received something through begging, he would perform a clumsy dance of joy.
The model was scanned, retopologised, and cleaned by me. The model ist not fully optimized to a low poly version and is best used in renderings or the unreal engine with nanite. The appended file contains the remeshed version with the cleaned basecolor, the baked normal and a base roughness.
