More Information About 3D Model :
A tailgate, also interchangeably referred to as a rear gate, drop side, or load bed door, is a crucial hinged panel located at the extreme rear of the cargo bed (or load bed) of a pickup truck, utility vehicle (ute), or certain light commercial vehicles. Its primary function is to secure cargo within the bed during transit and to facilitate the loading and unloading of goods.

Typically, the tailgate is hinged at its lower edge, allowing it to pivot downwards into a horizontal position, flush with or slightly below the level of the cargo bed floor. This configuration effectively extends the usable floor area of the bed, providing additional support for longer items that might otherwise overhang, or acting as a rudimentary ramp for wheeled objects. When in the closed, vertical position, the tailgate is secured by a robust latching mechanism, often operated by a central handle or individual latches on either side, ensuring the retention of cargo.

Modern tailgates are predominantly constructed from durable materials such as steel or aluminum, often incorporating internal bracing for enhanced structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity. They are typically painted or coated to match the vehicle's bodywork, offering protection against corrosion and wear. Advanced designs may feature composite materials for weight reduction, integrated step-assist mechanisms, or multi-position functionality (e.g., opening like barn doors, or having a work surface mode).

The utility of the tailgate extends beyond simple cargo retention. When lowered, it can serve as a convenient work surface for various tasks, a temporary seating area, or a stable platform for accessing items within the bed. Many contemporary truck designs integrate features into the tailgate itself, such as cupholders, measurement markings, and even embedded audio systems or power outlets, further enhancing its versatility. The robust design and secure latching mechanism are critical safety components, preventing accidental opening during vehicle operation, which could lead to cargo loss or pose a hazard to other road users. As an integral component of vehicle design, the tailgate is fundamental to the functionality and versatility of pickup trucks and similar cargo-carrying vehicles in both commercial and recreational applications.

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.

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.
