Project Overview: A real-time 3D model of a mayfly nymph, focusing on morphological accuracy and shader-based customization. Designed for use as a small-scale environmental actor. Technical Specifications: Geometry: 4,642 Triangles. Texturing: 1024x1024 (1k) resolution. Optimized for assets with a small screen-space footprint. Color Customization: Includes a custom Alpha mask to allow independent color adjustments for the body and accent areas via engine shaders. Material Logic: Separate material slots for gills and caudal filaments (tails). This enables independent transparency/opacity settings (e.g., Dither Temporal AA or Translucent) without affecting the main body draw call logic where unnecessary. Rigging: Skeletal rig included for movement and idle animations. Credits: Environment: Mossy branch photogrammetry by roxyjungle (Sketchfab). Used under CC Attribution license.
