About this model

A male lion stands side-on, head held level and gaze fixed ahead, the long tail curling slightly behind him. The mane is the centerpiece, a crown of chunky facets that darkens from golden around the face to deep chocolate brown along the neck and chest. The rest of the body is a smooth tawny gold with lighter underparts, and the tail ends in a dark tuft. This is the reduced sibling of our detailed lion, keeping its neutral standing pose but trading fur for crisp flat shading and a tiny palette texture. The result is ready for real-time use in savanna maps, zoo games and mobile adventures. Tip: frame it low from the side against a warm sunset sky, where the faceted mane catches the light best.

Good for

  • Savanna wildlife on a strategy map
  • Zoo game enclosure
  • Boss animal in a mobile adventure
  • Safari diorama centerpiece

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 (1.76 m = 176 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
