DESCRIPTION

The GAZ BRDM-2 is a fully rigged, highly detailed 3D model of the classic Soviet armored reconnaissance vehicle, designed for military games, historical simulations, cinematic animations, and real-time battle scenarios.

This model faithfully replicates the BRDM-2's iconic Cold War-era design, featuring armored body plating, reinforced hatches, off-road wheels, water jet propulsion system, and a rotating turret. The functional rig includes turning wheels, steering control, suspension movement, and a rotatable turret, making it animation-ready for combat sequences, strategy games, and vehicle simulations.

Built with clean quad-based topology, the BRDM-2 is fully UV unwrapped and optimized for real-time engines such as Unreal Engine and Unity, while also delivering high-resolution performance in Blender and offline renderers.Perfect for Cold War missions, military convoy setups, FPS games, or animated war films, this rigged model is a must-have for anyone working on realistic battlefield environments.

Model Features:

Fully Rigged – Rotating turret, turning wheels, steering system, suspension articulation

High-detail exterior – Armor plating, hatches, water jets, antennas, and observation ports

Clean quad-based topology – Ideal for smooth animation and deformation

Fully UV unwrapped – Non-overlapping, optimized UVs for efficient texturing

Real-world scale – Accurately proportioned for easy integration

Game & cinematic ready – Optimized for Unreal, Unity, Blender, and other DCC tools

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.
