Gilthead Sea Bream 3D Model

This game-ready Gilthead Sea Bream 3D model (Sparus aurata) features realistic proportions, a naturally compressed oval body shape, detailed fins, a forked tail, recognizable silver coloration, subtle golden facial markings, and a believable scale appearance.
With only 2,654 triangles, the asset is highly optimized for real-time performance while maintaining a realistic, distinctive, and easily recognizable fish silhouette.
Its clean and efficient topology makes the model suitable for custom rigging and animation workflows, including swimming cycles, turning movements, tail deformation, and other aquatic animation setups.
Compatible with Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, and other major 3D applications, this versatile fish asset can be easily integrated into a wide range of real-time and offline projects.

Ready for Real-Time & Custom Aquatic Animation
Use the sea bream directly as a game-ready static fish asset, or build a custom rig for swimming, tail movement, turning, schooling systems, and other aquatic animation workflows.
AI-Assisted, Human-Refined
This asset was partially created using AI-generated high-poly references. Retopology was performed using AI-assisted tools, while mesh cleanup, topology refinement, UV mapping, baking, texturing, and optimization were manually completed. Created with licensed AI tools and carefully reviewed for full commercial use.
