Priced at $39, the Starfish is a finished Animals & Creatures model rather than a base mesh you have to build on. On import you get 14,196 polygons and 14,593 vertices. Whether that counts as light or heavy depends on the target platform, the complexity of the scene and how many instances it carries.
Textures number 6, authored at 4096 x 4096 so they survive a close crop. As a StemCell asset it comes with standardised PBR materials, so the look holds up whether it lands in a game engine or an offline renderer. Parts are separated where separation is useful, so a single component can be hidden, swapped or re-shaded on its own.
On this listing the stated applications are film & TV VFX, game assets and product rendering. Its first release was in 2016, and it has earned its place in the catalog since then. It suits game creatures, film and TV VFX, educational material and VR experiences.
