Ultra-realistic 3D model of a common carp (Cyprinus carpio), meticulously crafted to capture the natural anatomy, texture, and coloration of this iconic freshwater fish. The model features a robust, laterally compressed body with a slightly arched back and a rounded belly, typical of the species. The skin is rendered with exceptional detail, showcasing overlapping scales in varying shades of silver-gray, olive-green, and subtle golden highlights that reflect light realistically. Each scale is individually modeled with fine ridges, slight imperfections, and natural wear, enhancing the lifelike appearance.
The fins are accurately proportioned and textured—dorsal, pectoral, pelvic, anal, and caudal—all featuring delicate rays and soft edges. The dorsal fin has a prominent spine, while the pectoral and pelvic fins display a translucent quality with visible membranes. The tail fin is forked and strong, designed for powerful swimming movements. The head includes a large, expressive eye with a reflective surface, a slightly protruding lower jaw, and barbels near the mouth—key identifying features of the carp. The gill covers and operculum are precisely sculpted, adding depth and biological accuracy.
This high-fidelity digital asset is ideal for use in aquatic biology education, fishing simulations, environmental visualization, wildlife documentaries, or as a reference for artists and game developers. It can also serve as a core element in aquarium design, marine-themed games, or ecological research projects. The model includes full PBR materials—albedo, roughness, metallic, normal, ambient occlusion, and specular maps—for photorealistic rendering in Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, Unity, or Cinema 4D. These materials simulate accurate light interaction, including reflection on wet scales, matte finish on fins, and natural translucency in thinner areas.
The geometry is optimized for both high-resolution renders and real-time applications, featuring clean topology, precise UV mapping, and efficient polygon distribution. The model supports animation, allowing for effects like swimming motion, fin flapping, or integration into underwater scenes. It is ready for integration into virtual reality experiences, augmented reality apps, digital menus, or interactive educational platforms.
