Photoreal green praying mantis, remastered 2026 edition: 9 cm long and 5.6 cm tall, 4K PBR textures with a normal map built from the original sculpted bump, and the original 72-bone rig.

What's new in this edition:
- PBR metal/rough textures, 4096 x 4096: Base Color, Roughness and Normal (OpenGL and DirectX). Soft subsurface on the green body and wings.
- Real-world scale, standing on the ground, centred pivot and consistent object and material names.
- Native Blender scene with a render-ready studio (camera + CC0 HDRI), plus a 3ds Max 2022 scene with Physical Materials.

Geometry: subdivision-ready control cage (994 quads body; 29,822 polygons with the head, eyes, antennae, raptorial forelegs, legs and wings) with Subdivision Surface in Blender and TurboSmooth in 3ds Max.

Rig: the original 72 bones with skin weights in Blender, 3ds Max, FBX and glTF; head, eyes, antennae, forelegs, legs and wings follow their bones. The rest pose is the pose of the production scene, with every bone placed exactly where the original file has it (no animation, as the original).

Also available: Insects Pack with the ant, ladybug, praying mantis, scorpion and snail.

Formats: Blender 3.2+ (native), 3ds Max 2022+, FBX 7.4 (rigged), glTF 2.0 binary (textures embedded), OBJ and USD (UsdPreviewSurface). Maya and Cinema 4D users: import the included FBX (rig) or USD.

All renders shown were made in Blender Cycles with the included files; no post-processing.
