Edible Crab - Realistic Crustacean 3D model

A detailed photorealistic model of the edible crab (Cancer pagurus), built with carefully handcrafted organic forms and high-resolution textures capturing the natural surface variation of the shell, claws, and underside. The mesh captures the real-world proportions, surface irregularities and characteristic anatomy of the species. A faithful crustacean asset that delivers visual reliability straight out of the box.
