About this model

An adult male lion stands on all four paws, his head turned slightly to the side with a watchful amber gaze. The mane is the star of the model: thick, layered strands shift from golden blond around the face to dark chocolate brown along the neck and chest. The rest of the body carries a short tawny coat over a lean, muscular frame, finished by a long tail with a dark tuft at its tip. The neutral standing pose makes the lion easy to place in a savanna diorama, a nature documentary shot or a museum-style display, and the detailed surface is made for renders, cinematics and close-ups, or as a source for your own LODs. Tip: frame him low from the front with warm late-afternoon light and some dry grass to sell the savanna mood.

Good for

  • Savanna diorama or safari scene
  • Wildlife documentary style renders
  • Hero animal in a zoo simulation
  • Museum or education display

Engine import notes

Unity GLB · FBX

Import the GLB with the glTFast package or use the FBX. 1 m in the file = 1 Unity unit.

Unreal Engine FBX

Use the FBX. The model is built in metres. Unreal works in centimetres and converts on import, so it arrives at real size (1.77 m = 177 cm).

Godot 4 GLB · FBX

Drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock. Godot 4 imports it directly, with materials. The FBX works too (Godot 4.3+ imports it natively).

Blender BLEND · GLB

Open the .blend directly, or import the GLB via File › Import › glTF 2.0.

Use it in: UnityUnrealGodotBlender
