DESCRIPTION

This is a low poly model or just over 10K poly. This model is built near to scale. It is built using single sheet materials. The model has landing gear that may be hidden from view separately allowing in flight animation. The boom may be animated. Materials for the paint scheme are included as shown here. This model is available in 11 paint schemes for various operators and the USAF.

The Boeing KC-135E Stratotanker is a military air refueling aircraft. It was designed from the same prototype aircraft as the Boeing 707-130. It is the first air refueling aircraft that was jet powered. It entered service with the United States Air Force in 1957. It has been in continuous service with the USAF for almost 60 years. It is one of six military aircraft in continuous use for more than 50 years. This is the main type of air refueling tanker flown by the USAF but it is supplemented by the KC-10 and will be replaced by the KC46 Pegasus.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.

Provided by designer
Information and details shared directly by the model's designer.
3D Features
The model includes animations (movement or actions) that can be played in supported software or engines.
The model has a skeleton or bone structure, making it ready for posing or animation.
PBR
Uses Physically Based Rendering materials, which give the model realistic lighting and surface properties.
Textures
The model includes image files (textures) that add color, patterns, or detail to its surfaces.
Materials
The model has material settings that define how surfaces look (color, shine, transparency, etc.).
UV Mapping
The model's surfaces are mapped to a 2D image, allowing textures to display correctly.
Plugins Used
Some external plugins were used to create the model. These may be required for full functionality.
3D printing
Indicates whether the designer marked this model as suitable for 3D printing.
Model is not 3D printable
The designer indicates this model is intended for digital use only (rendering, animation, or AR/VR) and not for 3D printing.
Geometry
Polygon mesh
A model built from polygons (triangles or quads) connected in a mesh.
10364 polygons
The total number of polygons (flat shapes) that make up the 3D model.
/ 5715 vertices
The number of points (corners) that define the shape of the model's polygons.
