Rigged Balance Scale and Weights PBR Low-poly 3D model

Digital 3D model of old rusty balance scale with brass weights. The model is rigged and animated. This model is also available in static version, which you can find at my store. This purchase includes bonus textures for green scale model (not pictured in previews).

MODEL

• Model dimensions: LWH 50,0 x 18,6 x 18,9 cm (19.7 x 7.3 x 7.4 in).
• Objects count - 8 polygonal objects for scale model, 10 polygonal objects for weight models, 15 non polygonal, not renderable objects for the rig (splines, helpers, bones), no groups.
• Model is not subdividable.
• Model is made mostly of quads and some triangles. No n-gons were used.
• Polycount (scale model):
• Polys - 8 694
• Tris - 15 318
• Verts - 7 970
• Polycount (weights models):
• Polys - 5 880
• Tris - 11 760
• Verts - 5 896

RIG

• The model is rigged, so the scale mechanism and plates can be moved in realistic, accurate to real-world manner.
• The rig is made with bones and 3ds Max helpers. It is hidden from the viewport, to make the scene cleaner.
• The rig and animation can be controled with two spline helpers, one for moving and rotating the model in the scene and the other for animating scale plates.
• The model also has an alternative rig, which is made with morpher and is somewhat simpler than the main rig. You can choose to use whichever version you like more.
• All the transformation of the objects and the rig are frozen to prevent accidental movement which could lead to destroying of the rig. Use spline control objects to interact with the model.
• Only the model in 3ds Max format is rigged. All other formats comes without rig. FBX has simple looping animation baked in.

MATERIALS

• Materials are prepared for Corona renderer.
• Materials are PBR compliant
• Scanline, FBX and OBJ formats has only basic materials and will NOT render the same as in preview images.

UV COORDINATES

• The model is fully unwrapped with no overlapping
• Weights models UVs are packed into 0-1 UV space
• Scale models UVs are packed as UDIMs

TEXTURES

• Format - PNG
• Count - 5*2 for Scale model, 5 for Weights models, 1*2 bonus colour textures for Scale model
• Map types - Base colour, Roughness, Normal (OpenGL, +Y), Metallic, AO
• Bit depth - 8 bits
• Resolution - 4096 x 4096 px for Scale model, 2048 x 2048 for Weights models.
• Textures are collected into one archive and are delivered in separate file.

SCENE

• Model is scaled to accurate real world dimensions.
• Objects, materials and textures have meaningful and matching names.
• Transformations has been reset and the model is placed at scene origin [0, 0, 0 XYZ].
• All texture paths are set to relative.

FILE FORMATS

• 3ds Max - Corona
• 3ds Max - Default (Physical)
• FBX
• Marmoset Toolbag scene (tbscene)

GENERAL

• Modeled in 3ds Max 2023 and saved to 3ds Max 2020 version for backward compatibility.
• Preview images are rendered with Corona renderer and Marmoset Toolbag. Toolbag images have watermark in the lower right corner.
• Images are straight from rendering app. No post processing was applied.
• Render scenes are not included.
