DESCRIPTION

Mutant Manta Ray – Blender 3D Model

A creature from the depths, reimagined.

Introducing a uniquely crafted Mutant Manta Ray 3D model – an original concept that merges oceanic elegance with sci-fi intensity. This asset is designed for high-impact visual storytelling in films, animations, games, and concept art.About the Model

This is not your average manta ray. Designed with a bold, otherworldly aesthetic, this creature features a mutated structure that sets it apart:

Two full sets of powerful flippers

A wide, predatory mouth

Three glowing golden eyes positioned for an enhanced field of vision

The design blends marine biology with a touch of mutation or alien engineering, creating a versatile creature suitable for multiple genres like science fiction, deep-sea horror, and fantasy.Key Features

Fully Rigged and Animation-Ready

Supports both pose-based and dynamic animations

Clean Topology and UV Mapping

Optimized edge flow ideal for animation and subdivision

UVs unwrapped and laid out for efficient texturing

High-Quality 4K Textures

Comes with multiple PBR texture maps: Base Color, Roughness, Normal, and Displacement

Detailed and realistic surface treatment

4 Distinct Skins

Red Skin – for aggressive or fiery environments

Blue Skin – for deep ocean immersion

Black Skin – for stealthy or alien themes

Natural Skin – inspired by real manta rays, ideal for realism-based projects

Preview renders and wireframe overlay included

Ideal Use Cases

Creature animation and visual effects

Game assets for underwater or alien environments

Sci-fi and horror-themed storytelling

3D concept and character development

Educational or artistic showcases

Real-World Inspiration

While this model is fictional, it is grounded in real manta ray anatomy. The concept imagines a version of the manta ray that has evolved or been engineered for survival in extreme or alien environments. The result is a believable yet menacing sea creature that feels both familiar and unsettling.Licensing and Availability

Free to use for both personal and commercial projects

No attribution required

Fully editable and redistributable under permissive license terms

This Mutant Manta Ray model is a perfect addition to any project that requires a powerful, flexible, and visually striking underwater creature. It blends scientific plausibility with creative freedom, making it a valuable asset for any 3D artist or developer.

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.
Learn more
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.
