Human Arm High Poly

Low Poly version here!

Animation demo

Updated on February 17, 2025 – Now Includes Both Arms & Enhanced Details This update adds a fully rigged right arm, complementing the existing left arm. Both arms are now connected in a single rig with anatomically correct proportions, ensuring natural separation and proper shoulder alignment.

Enhancements & Improvements - Now using UDIM UV mapping for better texture resolution and seamless detail distribution.

• Reworked hair system: The particle system for arm hair has been completely redone, making it more natural and realistic, along with an improved hair shader for better integration with the skin.

• Improved skin textures for greater realism.

• Re-sculpted arms, refining veins, tendons, wrinkles, and muscle definition.

• Increased sculpting detail: Added a fourth level of Multires subdivision, further enhancing fine details.

• High-resolution displacement maps: Now includes an 8K EXR displacement map for maximum detail, with an additional 4K version in the textures folder for optimized performance.

• Optimized rig: Cleaned unnecessary properties, corrected drivers and shape keys for better deformations.

• Expanded geometry: With the addition of both arms and shoulders, the model now has 8,604 vertices (no subdivision) and 2,192,994 vertices at maximum quality.

• Integrated shoulder connection for seamless animation.

This ultra-realistic 3D model of a human arm has been meticulously sculpted to capture the finest details, including skin pores, veins, tendons, subtle wrinkles, and natural imperfections, ensuring maximum realism. Designed for high-end animation, CGI, and VFX, it includes an advanced rigging system.

Advanced Rigging & Realistic Deformations

• Fully rigged with Rigify, supporting both IK and FK for seamless animation.
• Corrective shape keys driven by automatic drivers, ensuring natural muscle flexions and smooth deformations during movement.

Scalable Detail with Multiresolution

• 4,070 vertices (base mesh, no subdivisions) – lightweight and efficient.
• Detailed sculpting accessible through Multires modifier:
  • 1 level: High quality, optimized for animation.
  • 3 levels: 259,689 vertices, capturing every sculpted detail for ultra-close-up renders.

High-Resolution 4K Textures & Optimized Shading

• 7 high-resolution 4K textures ensuring photorealistic skin and nails:
  • Arm: Albedo, Roughness, Specular, Displacement.
  • Nails: Albedo, Roughness, Specular.
• Procedural hair shader with simple yet effective node-based shading, eliminating the need for external texture maps.
• Materials are grouped for easy customization, allowing quick adjustments to skin tones, glossiness, and fine details.
• Fully unwrapped UVs, ensuring distortion-free texturing and high-quality renders.

Realistic Hair System & Blender Optimization

• Hair strands created with Blender’s native particle system, allowing for flexible grooming and density adjustments.
• Optimized for Cycles Renderer, taking full advantage of realistic subsurface scattering for lifelike skin shading.
• Works efficiently in Eevee for fast previews, while achieving maximum realism in Cycles.
