DESCRIPTION

A highly realistic fish 3D model created based on real-world measurements and direct observation.Designed for both realism and usability, this model is suitable for games (Unity, Unreal Engine, etc.), simulations, exhibitions, video production, and educational use where accurate scale is important.

This is a “real-world standard” model created through direct observation and measurement of actual fish.In the March 2026 update (v1.2), real reference photos are included with every model, and no AI-generated images are used.

The model uses 2K resolution textures for high-detail representation.Most models use a single texture for ease of use and performance (long-bodied fish may use two textures).

Shape keys (blend shapes / morph targets) are pre-configured for the mouth, gills, and fins, enabling quick and easy animation without any additional setup.You can view the shape key (blend shape) animation in the preview video.(Note: Rigging and animation are NOT included.)

The fins use the alpha channel of the albedo texture (PNG).Depending on your rendering environment, alpha blending or alpha clipping may be required.Double-sided rendering is recommended for fin materials.

The pectoral and pelvic fins use a single-plane structure optimized for transparency.Backface plates are included as separate objects in the Blender file for flexible use.We offer SampleFish as a free separate product for compatibility testing, allowing you to check whether it works with your application.

No unsupported objects
Unsupported objects:
- Lights
- Cameras

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.

3D Features
PBR
Uses Physically Based Rendering materials, which give the model realistic lighting and surface properties.
Textures
The model includes image files (textures) that add color, patterns, or detail to its surfaces.
Materials
The model has material settings that define how surfaces look (color, shine, transparency, etc.).
UV Mapping
The model's surfaces are mapped to a 2D image, allowing textures to display correctly.
Plugins Used
Some external plugins were used to create the model. These may be required for full functionality.
3D printing
Indicates whether the designer marked this model as suitable for 3D printing.
Model is not 3D printable
The designer indicates this model is intended for digital use only (rendering, animation, or AR/VR) and not for 3D printing.
