Tamagotchi 1997 Model 3D model

This is the 3d model of an original 1997 Tamagotchi, the famous Japan pet videogame for children very popular during the 90s and that has made a comeback recently.

This model comes in 3ds, blend, FBX and OBJ formats. Textures are 2048x2048 in .png format.

I've added two sets of textures, the first one with the Tamagotchi logo, the BANDAI 1997 Made in Indonesia on the back and the pixels' pet on the screen. Then I've added another clean texture without those elements, in case you want to want the Tamagotchi without any branding.

Maps included are:

-AO -Base Color -ID -Metalness -Normals -Opacity -Roughness

What is a Tamagotchi?

A tamagotchi is a small, digital pet that was extremely popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These little devices were basically like having a virtual pet that you had to take care of – you had to feed it, play with it, and make sure it got enough sleep. If you didn’t take care of your tamagotchi properly, it would get sick and might even die.

Tamagotchis were originally created in Japan in 1996 by Akihiro Yokoi and Aki Maita of Bandai. The word “tamagotchi” is a combination of the Japanese words for “egg” and “watch”. The first tamagotchis were only available in Japan, but they quickly became popular all over the world. By the end of 1997, there were more than 12 million tamagotchis in use worldwide.

The craze eventually died down, but tamagotchis are still popular today – especially among adults who fondly remember having one when they were kids. In 2017, Bandai released a new line of tamagotchis called the “Tamagotchi On”. These new tamagotchis are more sophisticated than the original, but the basic premise is still the same – you have to take care of your little digital pet.
