This product includes an animated and rigged ant carrying a leaf model with fur/detail setup prepared for Blender. The asset is designed for nature scenes, macro environments, insect animations, educational projects, games, environmental simulations, cinematic projects, ecology visuals, and realistic insect renders.

After downloading the product, open the included Blender file and append or link the model into your project if needed. The ant can be placed directly into a scene, adjusted, animated, posed, and rendered in Blender.

The model is jointed, rigged, and animated, allowing it to be used for realistic insect locomotion and carrying behavior in motion-based macro scenes. This version includes a carrying leaf animation designed to represent natural ant activity and weight-influenced movement.

Included animation:
Carrying Leaf — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The ant carries a leaf using its mandibles, with a slightly tilted body posture and weight-influenced gait. Duration: up to 6 seconds.

Technical animation details: the animation runs at 30 FPS. In-place and root motion variations are included. In-place animation keeps the model at the origin point and is useful for controlled looping, while root motion synchronizes forward movement with the animation cycle. The animation includes realistic timing and secondary motion and is suitable for both real-time and cinematic use.

Technical model details: the model contains 39,184 polygons and 39,722 vertices. The geometry is polygonal quads/tris. UVs are unwrapped and non-overlapping. The product includes 6 PNG textures at 4096x4096 resolution and 6 PNG textures at 2048x2048 resolution. The approximate dimensions are 1.59 x 1.5 x 0.861 cm.

The model includes realistic materials and fur/detail setup suitable for an ant appearance, including body segments, legs, antennae, mandibles, eyes, and insect surface details. You can edit the materials, fur/detail settings, lighting, render settings, animation settings, and scene composition depending on your project style.

This is a digital 3D model only. It is not a physical product. Please make sure you have a compatible version of Blender before purchasing and check the product files for the exact included formats.

Recommended uses include ant carrying leaf animations, leafcutter ant scenes, macro nature shots, insect colony environments, ecology simulations, educational visuals, games, cinematic renders, environmental projects, background insects, and realistic insect motion studies.
