About this model

This pterodactyl 3D model shows a large crested pterosaur on the ground, walking on all four limbs with its wings folded along the arms, just as fossil trackways show pterosaurs moved on land. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles and close relatives of the dinosaurs, not dinosaurs themselves. The long toothless beak is golden yellow with a dark ridge, and a tall coral-red crest with dark stripes sweeps up from the back of the head. A warm brown coat with a soft, fuzzy look covers the neck, back and limbs, fading to cream on the throat and chest. The folded wing membranes are tan with darker mottling, and small clawed fingers touch the ground ahead of the hind feet. Measured from beak to hind feet the model is 2.0 m long, and it stands 1.79 m tall to the tip of the crest. Tip: pair it with the other prehistoric animals in the catalog for a prehistoric coastline.

Good for

  • Pterosaur display in a natural history museum scene
  • Prehistoric coast or cliff in a dinosaur survival game
  • Science video explaining how pterosaurs walked
  • Educational render for a school presentation

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 (1.79 m = 179 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
