This realistic tarantula figurine captures the natural appearance of one of the world’s most fascinating arachnids. The model features lifelike body proportions, hairy textures across its legs and abdomen, and a stance that reflects its characteristic grounded posture. Designed for collectors, educational use, or as a unique tabletop piece, this tarantula model balances detail with print-ready functionality.

The initial 3D form of this model was generated with the assistance of AI tools, after which it was extensively refined and manually detailed in Blender and other 3D editing software.

Please note that the model is primarily designed for textured versions (OBJ + MTL in ZIP archive), allowing for a rich and visually detailed result when used with color-supported 3D printing or digital rendering. The non-textured version (STL, 3MF) may lack some surface details visible in the textured formats. The available formats are STL, OBJ, MTL, 3MF, FBX, and BLEND, provided together in a ZIP archive, along with standalone STL and OBJ files for 3D viewer compatibility.
