Rigged animated butterfly 3d models, created with Blender. Use this product to quickly add animated butterflies to your 3d scenes. The product comes with 5 different animated butterfly 3d models. 🦋

How it Works:
The butterflies wings are animated with shape keys. A noise modifier on the shape key keyframes makes the wings flap randomly. The butterfly models also have a noise modifier on the Z location, to make the butterflies move randomly up and down.

How to Animate:
There are two methods for animating: Animating the butterflies manually, or animating them along a curve. To animate manually, you can animate the sphere empty object, that the butterflies are parented too. Or to animate along the curve, you can animate the “Evaluation Time” on the curve data properties, under: “Path Animation”
