This product includes an animated and rigged Atlantic mackerel fish model prepared for Blender. The asset is designed for ocean scenes, marine wildlife projects, underwater environments, fish behavior animations, games, simulations, cinematic projects, documentaries, educational visuals, and realistic aquatic renders.

After downloading the product, open the included Blender file and append or link the model into your project if needed. The Atlantic mackerel 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 mackerel swimming behavior and fish-out-of-water motion. This animation set includes 2 animations designed for cinematic scenes, games, and simulations.

Included animations:
Swim — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The fish performs a smooth wave-like swimming motion driven by the tail and rear body, with a stable front section and natural pelagic rhythm. Duration: up to 6 seconds.
Idle_on_Land — looped, in-place animation. The fish performs chaotic convulsive flopping behavior out of water, featuring irregular tail strikes, body jerks, and natural loss-of-control motion. Duration: up to 6 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 3,857 polygons and 3,733 vertices. The geometry is polygonal quads/tris. UVs are unwrapped with a mixed layout. The product includes 6 PNG textures at 4096x4096 resolution. The approximate dimensions are 4.79 x 34.41 x 7.89 cm.

The model includes realistic materials suitable for an Atlantic mackerel appearance, including streamlined fish anatomy, fins, tail, eyes, body coloration, and marine surface details. You can edit the materials, 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 mackerel swimming animations, fish-out-of-water flopping behavior, ocean scenes, underwater environments, marine simulations, fishing visuals, games, cinematic renders, documentaries, educational projects, background aquatic animals, and realistic fish motion studies.
