Please leave a review if you can, we are a new studio and need your feedback!

High-quality SubD model of a Nuclear Reactor Fuel Bundle intended for research reactors (Material Testing Reactors), not commercial power reactors. Accurate proportions and design to real fuel elements (~87 cm tall). Can sustain high neutron flux (blue glow) at relatively low coolant temperatures and pressures. 19.75% enriched uranium fuel. Water flows downward through the bundle between the curved plates via gravity convection. These bundles are typically arranged in a 6x6 grid in the reactor core to achieve a critical geometry. Modelled by a licensed reactor operator.

Built with clean topology and accurate proportions, suitable for close-up renders and professional CGI workflows. Not a game asset.

Key Features:

-All-quad SubD-ready topology

-High resolution PBR textures

-Real World scale and proportions

-Organized and easy-to-use file structure

-Includes all original project files for full customization

Included Files:

-.blend (native file)

-.fbx (cage mesh at subdivision level 0)

-.obj (cage mesh at subdivision level 0)

-.stl (cage mesh at subdivision level 0)

-PBR textures (BaseColor, Roughness, Normal (OpenGL + DirectX versions included) etc.)

-.spp (Substance Painter project file)

-.pdf (information packet)

Technical Details:

-Geometry: Subdivision ready (not displacement-ready due to elongated quads, to reduce total geometry count).

-Texture Resolution: 4K

-UV Layout: Clean and non-overlapping

-No UDIMs workflow

-Units: Centimeters

-Software: Blender + Substance Painter 3D

Suitable for:

--Cinematic nuclear scenes (film)

-Product and engineering visualization

-Technical/industrial scenes

About the Creator:

Created by Turqoiz Digital, an independent 3D asset studio focused on high-quality, film grade models with production-ready topology. Founded by a licensed nuclear reactor operator, with a focus on technically accurate nuclear and industrial assets.
