About this model

A great horned owl stands tall on feathered legs, facing straight ahead with the intense stare that makes owls such strong subjects. Two pointed feather tufts rise from the head like horns, the facial disc is framed by a warm tawny rim, and the round yellow eyes sit above a short grey beak. The plumage is finely barred and mottled in chocolate brown, buff and cream, with a paler bib at the throat and darker, layered wing feathers folded at the sides. Curved dark talons grip the ground. Because the feather pattern and eyes carry so much detail, the model shines in close-ups, night-time cinematics and nature renders, and it makes a good source for reduced LODs. Tip: light it with a cool moonlight key and a faint warm rim to bring out the feather texture.

Good for

  • Night forest cinematic
  • Wizard's companion in a fantasy render
  • Wildlife close-up or poster
  • Halloween key art

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 (0.55 m = 55 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
