About this model

This saber tooth tiger 3D model shows Smilodon, the famous predator of the Ice Age, as a museum quality cat walking forward with calm, heavy steps. The stars are the two long ivory sabers that hang well below the chin, framed by a white muzzle and a deep cream lower jaw. The coat is a warm tawny gold sprinkled with faint dark spots and soft stripes on the face, fading to cream on the chest, belly and inner legs. Amber eyes, a pink nose and short rounded ears give the head a focused look. The build is stocky and muscular with powerful forelegs and broad paws, and the short tail ends in a dark brown tuft. The model stands 1 m at the shoulder and measures 2.07 m including the tail. Fun fact: despite the name it was not a close relative of today's tigers. Tip: pair it with the woolly mammoth for an Ice Age scene.

Good for

  • Ice Age hall in a natural history museum
  • Apex predator in a prehistoric survival or hunting game
  • Documentary scene about extinct megafauna
  • Frozen tundra encounter in a film or cinematic

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 (1.00 m = 100 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
