Hughes H-4 Hercules Spruce Goose

Hughes H-4 Hercules Spruce Goose Free low-poly 3D model

Description

The Hughes H-4 Hercules (also known as the "Spruce Goose"; registration NX37602) is a prototype heavy strategic airlift military transport aircraft designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft Company. Intended as a transatlantic flight transport for use during World War II, it was not completed in time to be of use. The aircraft made only one brief flight on November 2, 1947, and the project never advanced beyond the single example produced. Built from wood because of wartime restrictions on the use of aluminium and concerns about weight, it was nicknamed by critics the "Spruce Goose", although it was made almost entirely of birch. The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built and has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in history (97 m ) (Source Wikipedia)

This looks like a great model. The geometry is good, it has at least some cockpit detail inside, and includes 27 textures. Unfortunately there are only 3 materials, so while the model in the picture looks fully textured, anyone who downloads this will need to figure out where each of those 27 textures go to get the same results. At least it's free.

Thank you :) And no, the model is fully textured, the UVMaps are present and all correct. Simply it's a Blender 2.79b file. And the new Blenders (from 2.80 to the current 3.6) are not compatible with these file versions. And personally as long as I could stay with Blender 2.79b I wouldn't change because the new versions have completely lost the spirit of Blender (optimize the graphic flow). They have become uninspiring clique factories. We feel that the new programmers are not graphic designers unlike those who imagined and created Blender. That being said, all my models are also available on SketchFab in OBJ (wavefront) format which remains compatible with all blenders. https://skfb.ly/otKYJ
