DESCRIPTION

Detailed model of the Saturn V launch vehicle and Apollo lunar spacecraft including launch tower.

Geometry and Rigging

The model is divided into separate objects for each component of the vehicle:

  • Saturn V First Stage (S-IC)
  • F1 Engine (x5)
  • Inter-stage Ring
  • Saturn V Second Stage (S-II)
  • J2 Engine (x5)
  • Saturn V Third Stage (S-IVB)
  • J2 Engine
  • Side Panels
  • Apollo Service Module
  • High Gain Antenna
    • Command Module clamp
  • Apollo Command Module
  • Launch Escape System
  • Docking Probe
  • Apollo Lunar Module Descent Stage
  • Landing Gear (x4) (with rigged controller)
  • Apollo Lunar Module Ascent Stage
  • Launch Tower
  • Towe Access Arm
  • Tower Service Arms
  • Tower Crane
  • Tower Base
  • Tail Service Masts with animated arms

The total poly count is 419,889 faces (473,584 vertices) - see the preview video for a detailled breakdown of the poly count for each component.

Note: The rigged Landing Gear is only available in the native Blender format.

Materials and Textures

The model comes 12 PBR materials with a total of 60 textures - a colour, metallic, specular, roughness and normal map for each component:

  • First Stage (including Inter-Stage Ring ) - 4k
  • F1 Engine - 2k
  • Second Stage - 4k
  • J2 Engine - 2k
  • Third Stage (including side panels) - 4k
  • Service Module (including High Gain Antenna and CM clamp) - 4k
  • Command Module (including LES and Docking Probe) - 4k
  • Lunar Module descent stage (including Landing Gear) - 4k
  • Lunar Module ascent stage - 4k
  • Tower - 4k
  • Tower Arms (Service Arms, Access Arm and Crane) - 4k
  • Tower Base (including Tail Service Masts and Tail Service Arms) - 4k

Note: Materials were created for Blender/Cycles but should import correctly into any other render engine, texture maps are logically named so should be easy to connect if they don't import automatically.

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.
