DESCRIPTION

The Rusty Metal Duct is an industrial-inspired 3D asset that captures the raw, gritty aesthetic of aging infrastructure. Crafted with realistic weathering and corrosion details, this duct tells the silent story of decades of use, neglect, and exposure to harsh environments. Its surfaces display oxidized patches, peeling metal textures, and rough edges that make it appear authentically worn, perfect for adding depth and atmosphere to digital worlds.

In 3D environments, objects like ducts play a vital role in environmental storytelling. The Rusty Metal Duct can serve as part of an abandoned factory, a dystopian cityscape, or even a futuristic facility that has fallen into disrepair. Its realism helps convey a sense of time and place, immersing viewers or players in environments that feel lived-in and believable.

This asset is versatile enough to be used in post-apocalyptic worlds, horror settings, cyberpunk backdrops, or industrial-themed scenes. Whether mounted along ceilings, hidden in basements, or integrated into machinery, the duct enhances the realism of its surroundings. The detailed rust and metallic imperfections ensure it doesn’t feel generic but instead becomes part of the environmental narrative.

Optimized for both game engines and cinematic rendering, the Rusty Metal Duct offers a balance of performance and visual quality. It is ideal for developers, digital artists, and architects who want to enrich their projects with atmospheric detail. From AAA games and VR experiences to architectural visualization and film production, this asset adds that extra layer of authenticity and mood.

The Rusty Metal Duct is not just a functional piece—it is a storytelling element that embodies decay, time, and industrial history.

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.
