This product includes an animated and rigged ant 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 animal 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, food carrying behavior, and grooming movement. This animation set includes 3 insect animations designed to represent everyday ant activity.

Included animations:
Walk — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The ant performs natural locomotion with coordinated six-leg movement, subtle body sway, and active antenna scanning behavior while moving forward. Duration: up to 6 seconds.
Carry Food — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The ant carries a small food item using its mandibles, with a slightly tilted body posture and weight-influenced gait. Duration: up to 6 seconds.
Clean Itself — looped, in-place animation. The ant performs grooming behavior with rhythmic cleaning of antennae and legs using mandibles, including short pauses and careful movements. Duration: up to 5 seconds.

Technical animation details: the animations run at 30 FPS. In-place and root motion variations are included where applicable. 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 animations include realistic timing and secondary motion and are 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 walking animations, food carrying behavior, grooming scenes, macro nature shots, insect colony environments, ecology simulations, educational visuals, games, cinematic renders, environmental projects, and realistic insect motion studies.
