This product includes an animated and rigged medicinal leech model prepared for Blender. The asset is designed for cinematic scenes, games, scientific visualizations, educational projects, medical-style visuals, aquatic environments, simulations, and realistic invertebrate behavior compositions.

After downloading the product, open the included Blender file and append or link the model into your project if needed. The medicinal leech 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 feeding behavior, aquatic movement, crawling locomotion, scientific visualization, and motion-based invertebrate scenes. This animation set includes 3 animations designed for natural movement and behavioral variety.

Included animations:
Blood Sucking — looped, in-place animation. The leech attaches to a surface and performs subtle rhythmic body contractions simulating blood intake. Duration: up to 6 seconds.
Swim — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The leech performs smooth aquatic movement using continuous wave-like body motion similar to serpentine swimming. Duration: up to 6 seconds.
Crawl — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The leech performs characteristic inchworm-like crawling motion using alternating attachment of front and rear suckers with body stretching and contraction. 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 staging or looping, while root motion synchronizes 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 832 polygons and 834 vertices. The geometry is polygonal quads/tris. UVs are unwrapped and non-overlapping. The product includes 5 PNG textures at 4096x4096 resolution. The approximate dimensions are 0.736 x 5.18 x 0.505 cm.

The model includes realistic materials suitable for a medicinal leech appearance, including soft body surface detail, subtle skin texture, body segmentation, sucker areas, and natural annelid form. You can edit the materials, texture settings, lighting, render settings, rig controls, 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 medicinal leech animations, blood sucking behavior scenes, swimming leech motion, crawling invertebrate visuals, scientific visualization, medical-style educational projects, aquatic simulations, games, cinematic close-ups, and realistic parasite behavior studies.
