Tadpole belongs to our Animals & Creatures range and is offered at $49 through the TurboSquid marketplace. Counted at the source, the model is 2,580 polygons and 2,586 vertices. How that lands depends on your renderer and on how close the camera gets.

It follows TurboSquid's StemCell specification, which is what keeps the shading consistent from a real-time engine to an offline render. The scene is organized rather than dumped into a single mesh, which makes selective texturing and partial reuse practical. It is cataloged for film & TV VFX, game assets and product rendering.

It has been on sale since 2021 and is still maintained as part of the active catalog. It suits game creatures, film and TV VFX, educational material and VR experiences.

Questions About This Model

What does StemCell mean for the Tadpole model?

It means one source asset, several delivered formats, and a PBR material setup designed to read consistently across them - no rebuilding shaders after import.

What is the Tadpole model typically used for?

It is cataloged for film & TV VFX, game assets and product rendering - the sort of work where the object needs to look right on camera but is not the subject of the shot.

Can the Tadpole model be modified after purchase?

Editing is allowed - remesh it, strip detail for real-time use, or rebuild the shaders. The one restriction is that the model file cannot be resold or given away as an asset.

What file formats does the Tadpole 3D model come in?

See the TurboSquid product page for the exact download list. Formats are stated per file, so compatibility with your renderer can be confirmed before purchase.
