Manta Ray is a fully rigged and animated 3D asset designed for real-time applications, animation, or cinematic production. This high-quality sea creature model includes 15 custom locomotion animations and is packaged with a production-ready Maya animation rig, allowing for the creation of additional unique animations.

The asset features digitally hand-painted 2K PBR textures, including diffuse, normal, and specular maps, carefully crafted to capture the natural beauty and movement of a manta ray. All materials and mesh topology are optimised for game engines and VFX pipelines, making it easy to drop into underwater scenes, educational simulations, or ocean-themed games.

The rig supports full articulation of the body, fins, eyes, and mouth, giving creators detailed control over animation. Available in both FBX and Maya formats, the model ensures wide compatibility across most 3D platforms.
