This product includes a Whale Shark Rigged For Blender Animated Set prepared for Blender. The asset is designed for underwater scenes, marine wildlife visualization, educational content, simulations, games, cinematic renders, and realistic ocean environment projects.

After downloading the product, open the included Blender file and append or link the whale shark asset into your project if needed. The model can be placed directly into your scene, adjusted, animated, posed, lit, rendered, and integrated into underwater environments or marine compositions in Blender.

This version is jointed and animated. The rigged setup allows the whale shark to be used in motion-based underwater scenes and marine behavior studies. The set includes 2 animations designed to represent natural locomotion and feeding behavior.

Included animations:
Swim — looped animation with in-place and root motion variations. The whale shark performs a calm and natural swimming cycle with smooth full body motion, wide tail swings, and subtle fin stabilization. Duration: up to 8 seconds.

Feeding — non-looped, in-place animation. The whale shark performs a natural feeding motion with mouth opening during forward swimming, preserving its slow and massive underwater behavior. Duration: up to 6 seconds.

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

Technical model details: the model contains 3,570 polygons and 3,533 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 403 x 1088 x 304 cm.

The asset includes materials suitable for a realistic whale shark appearance, including skin surface detail, characteristic body patterning, fin definition, and texture-based material detail. You can edit the materials, texture settings, rig controls, animation settings, lighting, render settings, scale, placement, camera angle, and scene composition depending on your project style.

This asset is useful for creating whale shark renders, marine wildlife scenes, underwater swimming animations, feeding behavior sequences, ocean simulations, educational projects, game environments, cinematic underwater shots, and Blender marine animal compositions.

This version is rigged. This version is animated. 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 underwater wildlife scenes, whale shark animations, marine biology visuals, educational content, ocean simulations, game projects, cinematic underwater renders, and realistic sea creature compositions in Blender.
