This high-quality Mining Cart with Gold Ore is a game-ready 3D asset, ideal for use in games, animations, and visualizations. Designed with historical accuracy in mind, it draws inspiration from Gold Rush-era rail track designs to ensure realistic proportions and detailing. Modelled in Blender, it features clean, non-overlapping UVs and a fully procedural PBR workflow, delivering a balance of performance and visual fidelity.

The asset includes the cart, track, and ore, totalling 6k polygons, making it optimized for real-time applications while maintaining a high level of detail. It comes with 4x 4K PBR maps for the cart and 4x 2K PBR maps for the ore, ensuring high-resolution textures with realistic material properties. The model is designed to be adaptable across different lighting and rendering environments.

As part of the creation process, I gathered extensive references in PureRef to inform artistic decisions, ensuring an authentic and well-proportioned design. The project also explores various presentation and lighting techniques, making it not only a high-quality asset but also a polished portfolio piece.

Included Formats: .Blend, .OBJ, and .FBX
