DESCRIPTION

This is a highly detailed and photorealistic 3D model of the **EMD MP15AC diesel switcher locomotive featuring the authentic CSX livery.

The model was built with strong attention to real-world references, correct proportions, and clean production topology, making it ideal for railway simulators, train environments, industrial rail yards, cinematic renders, and transportation visualizations.

This locomotive asset is designed for artists and developers who need a realistic American freight switcher locomotive for professional projects.

Key Features • Accurate EMD MP15AC body proportions and external detailing • Authentic CSX Transportation paint scheme and markings • High-resolution PBR materials and realistic surface response • Real-world scale for easy integration into large scenes • Organized scene hierarchy and properly named objects

Visual Details

The model includes carefully modeled exterior features such as: • Detailed locomotive body panels and access doors • Realistic truck / bogie assemblies • Accurate handrails and safety rail structures • Ventilation grilles and roof equipment • High-quality decals and livery elements • Subtle surface wear for believable realism

Ideal Use Cases

This asset is suitable for a wide range of projects including: • Train simulator environments • Railway yard scenes • Freight train visualizations • Industrial environments • Game environments and real-time engines (after optimization if required) • Cinematic transportation renders

Technical Details • Geometry: High-detail production mesh • Materials: PBR workflow • Scale: Real-world scale • Software: Created in Blender • Rendering: Suitable for both real-time engines and offline rendering

Important Note

This product includes the 3D locomotive model only.Tracks, environments, HDRI lighting, and other scene elements shown in preview images are not included unless explicitly specified.

Custom liveries, optimization for game engines, or additional detailing can be provided upon request.

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.

3D Features
PBR
Uses Physically Based Rendering materials, which give the model realistic lighting and surface properties.
Textures
The model includes image files (textures) that add color, patterns, or detail to its surfaces.
Materials
The model has material settings that define how surfaces look (color, shine, transparency, etc.).
UV Mapping
The model's surfaces are mapped to a 2D image, allowing textures to display correctly.
Plugins Used
Some external plugins were used to create the model. These may be required for full functionality.
3D printing
Indicates whether the designer marked this model as suitable for 3D printing.
Model is not 3D printable
The designer indicates this model is intended for digital use only (rendering, animation, or AR/VR) and not for 3D printing.
