DESCRIPTION

This is a meticulously crafted 3D model of a universal joint, a critical mechanical component found in various power transmission systems. The model precisely replicates the intricate details of a drivetrain cross shaft, featuring a central splined section designed for robust torque transmission and four precisely engineered bearing points at its perpendicular ends. Its highly detailed geometry and clean topology make it ideal for a wide range of professional applications. It is perfectly suited for high-fidelity product visualizations, engineering simulations, and detailed industrial scene renderings. Game developers can integrate this asset into realistic vehicle mechanics or complex machinery for immersive gaming experiences. Architectural visualization artists can utilize it to populate industrial interiors or workshop scenes, adding an authentic layer of detail. Furthermore, it can enhance digital art projects requiring mechanical accuracy or be used in augmented reality applications for interactive assembly guides or virtual training. The model is provided with clean, organized mesh and is likely UV unwrapped, allowing for easy application of PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures to achieve realistic metallic finishes, as seen in the preview. While optimized for high-quality static renderings, it can be adapted for real-time engines with appropriate level-of-detail (LOD) adjustments. Supported file formats typically include GLB, OBJ, STL, ABC, DAE, FBX, USD, and PLY, ensuring broad compatibility across various 3D software and platforms.

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.
