This product includes an animated and rigged salmon model prepared for Blender. The asset is designed for river scenes, underwater environments, wildlife animations, educational projects, nature simulations, games, cinematic renders, and realistic aquatic compositions.

After downloading the product, open the included Blender file and append or link the model into your project if needed. The salmon 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 natural aquatic locomotion, wildlife scenes, and motion-based fish behavior projects. This version includes a Swim animation designed to show realistic salmon movement underwater.

Included animation:
Swim — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The salmon performs natural upstream swimming with smooth body wave motion, tail-driven propulsion, and stabilizing fin movement. Duration: up to 8 seconds.

Technical animation details: the animation runs at 30 FPS. In-place and root motion variations are included. 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 animation includes realistic timing and secondary motion and is suitable for both real-time and cinematic use.

Technical model details: the model contains 3,930 polygons and 3,900 vertices. The geometry is polygonal quads/tris. UVs are unwrapped and non-overlapping. The product includes 7 PNG textures at 4096x4096 resolution. The approximate dimensions are 18.3 x 77.2 x 27.7 cm.

The model includes realistic materials suitable for a salmon appearance, including fins, tail, scales, body shading, eyes, and natural fish anatomy. 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 salmon swimming animations, river and stream scenes, underwater wildlife projects, fish behavior studies, nature documentary visuals, educational projects, games, simulations, and realistic aquatic renders.
