An anatomically accurate and hand-crafted 3D model of the Redback Spider (Latrodectus hasselti) — one of Australia’s most recognizable and dangerous arachnids. Designed for professional workflows, this model comes fully rigged, textured with 4K PBR maps, and optimized for both real-time and rendered environments.
Key Features
- Fully Rigged & Animated: Includes a professional rig with Inverse Kinematics (IK) for smooth and intuitive posing.
- Walk Cycle Included: Pre-made walk cycle animation ready to use, saving setup time.
- Game-Ready & Optimized: Balanced polycount for real-time rendering while maintaining high visual fidelity.
- Real-World Scale: Modeled to life size – approximately 9 cm tall, 25 cm wide, and 23 cm long.
Technical Details
- Original Software: Blender 4.4 (tested with v5.0)
- Polygon Count: 3,080 (Base mesh, subdivision off)
- Vertex Count: 3,082
- Objects Included: 2 (model + rig are separate)
- No third-party plug-ins or renderers required in the native file.
Rendering & Textures
- Workflow: PBR (Physically Based Rendering)
- Texture Resolution: 4K (4096 × 4096 px)
- Maps Included: Diffuse, Roughness, Normal
- Source: All textures are high-quality, created from original photographs or drawings
- Renderer: Blender Cycles
- Ready to Render: Lights and cameras from the preview scene are included; no compositing required.
Mesh & File Structure
Clean Topology: Hand-modeled mesh with edge flow optimized for deformation and smoothing.Scale: Built to real-world dimensions.Compatibility: Works natively in Blender; exported versions (.FBX, .OBJ) are base meshes without smoothing, so you can apply your preferred subdivision level.Organization: Materials and objects are named logically for easy navigation.
Use Cases
- realistic animation shots, close-ups, or documentaries,
- VFX and cinematic sequences,
- educational materials or biological visualization,
- game-ready environments that require lifelike insect behavior.
Notes
All assets are neatly packed within the native Blender file. No plug-ins or external dependencies are required. The model is suitable for both commercial and personal projects.
