3D model of Thermohaline Circulation (THC) with animated texture arrows.

Model with static arrows is also available in CGTrader:https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/science/other/thermohaline-circulation-static-arrows

There are two ways to animate arrows, a video AVI* file or a sequence of JPG. In case you use OBJ, FBX, USF, gLB, gLTF or Sketchup files please check that your software can handle one of this kind of animation.There is also a PNG texture for static arrow renderings.Both animation methods are loopable and have a duration of 4 seconds.

• AVI file have a resolution of 2048x2048, 25 fps and xVID compresion.

All objects are unwrapped and can be customized through PSD files included.

Units are centimeters and the model has a diameter of 38 cm.
