This asset was modelled off the specific whale, Migaloo; a male humpback whale often seen off the coast of the Australian East coast. There a two versions included in this file. One is very high-poly meaning that the model works for all types of shots, far, medium and close. The other is low in detail and relies on the texture for detail, good for far shots. The texture is made up of diffuse, specular, roughness and normal and reacts very well to light. The mouth of the whale also includes baleen. That can be seen when the mouth is only slightly open similar to real whales.
The model is rigged and animated for swimming. It includes a full PBR material with detailed normal map.It was mad for a single shot of a 30 second animation which is linked below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V3IGE7jh9c
Thanks and enjoy!
