This is a CC0 3D model of a dragon based on Cethiel's CC0 2D animated dragon (https://opengameart.org/content/dragon-fully-animated).
I (Drummyfish) have taken the 2D dragon and created a 3D model and a texture out
of it, and I release it under CC0. This 3D model is rigged and animated as well,
and comes with two textures. If you like this, consider becoming Cethiel's
supporter to make creation of more such art possible:

art (there are extra textures for this dragon model).

Nice!
Nice, but the thing is that Cethiel's dragon was actually 3d, despite what was he saying. He didn't released any source files to confirm otherwise and someone noticed that the Dragon properly tips over in the death animation, showing that the dragon was actually 3d. Sorry, but you can't do stuff like that in DragonBones software. Plus the whole body and tail reveal 3d details, which are simply too hard to do in 2D software.
Anyway, his work was quality stuff, not to diss him or anything, but as I said... source file :P
Which would have made all your work redundant. Well done, regardless!
I was collaborating with Cethiel from start to finish on this. We were talking about this very early.
Technically his dragon is 3D, because -- as we know, and which is no secret -- it can be rendered from various angles, such as completely top down. But -- from what he told me -- it's a 3D representation made with 2D animation software intended for creating 2D animations -- the 3D model is NOT a polygonal 3D model, or even any boundary representation such as NURBS that could be easily converted. As I understand it, it's composed of multiple deformed layers. As such it cannot be used in real-time 3D game engines, and it probably doesn't even have any interchangeable file format it could be exported to. Even if someone managed to create an exporter for it, the topology of the model would have to be manually corrected and so on... which would be as much work, if not more.
So to obtain this model, which is widey usable in 3D game engines, manual modelling from ground up had to be done.
I seriously can't believe I was lucky enough to find an animated dragon that is public domain! I'm using it in the AnyRPG Engine.
I've featured this asset in a livestream at https://youtu.be/Kbe1AbhMR3c ,credited you on the contributors page at https://www.anyrpg.org/contributors/ , and added you to the in-engine credits.
Nice job!! Thanks for sharing.
amazing!
