Pirate Captain 3D Model
Bring authority and personality to your pirate crews with this game-ready rigged Pirate Captain 3D model, designed for real-time games, historical adventures, Age of Sail environments, pirate ships, taverns, ports, coastal settlements, and NPC population systems.
The character features a strong, heavy-set pirate silhouette with rugged facial features, long dark hair, beard, classic tricorn hat, long captain-style coat with decorative trim, layered vest and shirt, leather belt, period trousers, and tall leather boots.
His distinctive appearance makes him especially suitable as a pirate captain, corsair leader, ship officer, veteran sailor, tavern NPC, merchant, or background character.
With 26,674 triangles and a real-world height of 180 cm, the model provides a detailed and recognizable character while remaining suitable for real-time applications.
The Pirate Captain is supplied in a clean T-pose with a complete full-body skeletal rig covering the spine, torso, arms, legs, hands, and individually rigged fingers.
The Rigify source file contains the complete animation control rig, deformation bones, IK/FK controls, finger rigging, original metarig, skinned character mesh, materials, and packed textures. This version is intended for users who want to create custom poses, animations, or rig adjustments directly inside Blender.
A second Blender file contains a cleaner and simplified humanoid skeleton converted from the Rigify setup, designed for game-engine export. A rigged FBX exported from this version is also included.
The FBX has been tested with the Unity Humanoid Avatar system, with the main humanoid bones correctly recognized and mapped, making the character suitable for Humanoid animation workflows, animation retargeting, and compatible third-party animation libraries.
No animations are included. The supplied skeletal rigs provide a ready foundation for custom animation, posing, and animation retargeting.

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 rigging were manually completed. Created with licensed AI tools and carefully reviewed for full commercial use.
