Dampwood Termite Worker
This dampwood termite worker model represents one of the most accurate digital reconstructions of this species created for general use.
Built in Blender 2.77 with Cycles shading, it is fully UV unwrapped with non-overlapping UVs and includes color, bump, transparency, and subsurface scattering maps.
Its polycount (5,485 polygons / 5,435 vertices) makes it light enough for large population scenes — ideal for swarming or environmental simulation renders.
Model Specifications
- Polygonal geometry: 5,485 polygons / 5,435 vertices
- Formats: Blender 2.77 (
.blend), FBX, OBJ - UV mapped, non-overlapping
- Texture maps: Color, Bump, SSS, and Transparency
- Created and rendered in 2016
- Renderer: Blender Cycles
Workflow Notes
This model pairs naturally with the Dampwood Termite Soldier, sharing the same topology discipline and texture approach.
The .blend version includes Cycles node networks tuned for translucency and body sheen, while OBJ and FBX exports retain UV and texture integrity.
Like all models from this collection, redistribution or stock-imaging use is prohibited.
Context & Design
The dampwood termite worker was modeled as part of a 2016 entomological visualization series — a period when Blanchette’s work began shifting toward biological accuracy and realism.
It highlights the move away from stylized commercial art toward research-driven, physically based modeling.
