Cauldron Low-poly 3D model

PBR realistic 3D model of a big cauldron, suitable for renders and games.

Characteristics:

• Generic, not intended to depict any specific real world brand (copyright safe).
• Textures are 4K and PBR - Physically Based Rendering, for Roughness/Metalness workflow.
• Compatible with subdivision (mesh smoothing) without changing its original format.
• Entirely UV-mapped, with fully unwrapped UVs (non-overlapping UVs).
• Objects and material are descriptively and uniquely named.
• Originally modeled on Maya LT, textured with Substance Painter.

Included formats:

• Unreal Engine (uasset), compatible with versions from 4.24 and newer, including 5.
• Blender 3.3.1.
• MilkShape 1.8.4.
• Marmoset Toolbag 3.07 Scene Bundle.
• Fbx, obj and dae (Collada) - Require adding the textures manually after you import them in your 3D editor.
• Fbx with simple texture - With color and height (bump) textures only, to allow better visualization on fbx viewers (embedding other textures would not be portable across applications).

Unreal Engine format specifics:

• Included one example blueprint (single-player) with meshes properly placed.
• Included meshes for each part of the model, positioned at the origin, for blueprint use.
• Included extra mesh with all parts combined, for fully static use.
• One base material and material instance.
• No third-party plugins needed.

Geometry:

• Model consists of 3 objects: Cauldron, Handler1 and Handler2.
• Sealed geometry (no open edges).
• No ngons (quads only).
• No coincident (overlapping) vertices.
• No vertex is connected to more than 5 edges (no poles).
• Total poly count is 3640 (3640 quads) and 3638 vertices.
• Compatible with subdivision (mesh smoothing) without changing its original format.
• Unreal format (uasset) supports triangles only.

Materials and textures:

• One material: MatCauldron.
• All textures are png, 4096 x 4096 pixels (4K textures).
• Blender, Marmoset and MilkShape formats use relative texture paths.
• PBR textures set: base color (no alpha channel), directx normal map, openGL normal map, height, metalness, ambient occlusion, roughness and ORM (composite ambient occlusion (R) + roughness (G) + metalness (B)).
• Unreal format uses 3 PBR textures: color (no alpha channel), directx normal map and ORM.
• Blender format uses 5 PBR textures: color (no alpha channel), height, ambient occlusion, metalness and roughness.
• Marmoset format uses 3 PBR textures: color (no alpha channel), opengl normal map and ORM.
• MilkShape format uses the color PBR texture only.
• Exchange formats (obj, fbx, dae): no embeded textures, so you can import them from the PBR set, in accordance to the requirements of the 3D editor you use.
• The textured extra fbx format embeds color and height (bump) textures, only, as embedding other textures would not be portable across applications.

Preview images:

• Preview images are actual renders on respective software.
• Preview Blender images are rendered with Cycles.
• HDRI used in Blender previews is CC0 from Poly Haven (formerly HDRI Haven) and is included.

Units and measurement:

• Real world scale.
• Unit system is metric (centimeters).
• Full model dimensions: 106.7 cm (width) x 81.5 cm (height) x 100 cm (deep).

Additional notes:

• Fbx and obj formats were exported by Maya LT.
• Collada (dae) format was exported by Blender.
• The obj format does not preserve the pivots locations of the different objects.
• On Blender, if you enable the Subdivision Surface modifier, make sure to also enable Advanced/Use Custom Normals, on the same modifier, for best results.
