This product includes an animated and rigged dugong model prepared for Blender. The asset is designed for underwater wildlife scenes, marine mammal visualization, ocean environments, educational content, simulations, games, aquarium-style scenes, and cinematic nature renders.

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

The model is jointed, rigged, and animated, allowing it to be used for marine animal locomotion and feeding behavior. This animation set includes 2 realistic dugong animations designed to capture calm underwater movement and bottom-feeding behavior.

Included animations:
Eating From Bottom — looped, in-place animation. The dugong grazes along the sea floor with the head directed downward. The mouth performs characteristic suction and chewing movements, with expressive lip and snout deformation, subtle flipper stabilization, gentle tail motion, and occasional sand disturbance. Duration: up to 8 seconds.

Swim — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The dugong performs calm underwater swimming with slow, powerful tail strokes and smooth full-body motion. The flippers provide subtle steering and stabilization, preserving the heavy and graceful movement of a large marine mammal. Duration: up to 6 seconds.

Technical animation details: the animations run at 30 FPS. Eating From Bottom is provided as an in-place loop. Swim includes both in-place and root motion variations. The animations include realistic timing and secondary motion and are suitable for both real-time and cinematic use.

Technical model details: the model contains 2,782 polygons and 2,747 vertices. The geometry is polygonal quads/tris. UVs are unwrapped and non-overlapping. The product includes 4 PNG textures at 4096x4096 resolution. The approximate dimensions are 120 x 269 x 65.3 cm.

The asset includes materials suitable for a dugong marine mammal, including smooth body surface detail, natural skin coloration, flipper detail, tail form, and underwater wildlife texture presentation. You can edit the materials, texture settings, rig controls, animation settings, lighting, render 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 dugong swimming animation, dugong feeding behavior, underwater wildlife scenes, marine mammal visualization, ocean simulations, aquarium-style environments, documentary-style renders, educational content, and cinematic underwater compositions.
