Buoy River RB-4-01

Model Summary

The RB-4-01 is a specialized river buoy designed for maritime navigation and safety. This asset represents a standard floating marker used to delineate channels or warn of underwater hazards in industrial or civil waterways. It features a utilitarian design typical of modern river equipment, including a central float and an upper signal structure for visibility.

Included Assets

To ensure compatibility across different rendering workflows, the package includes both PBR-Metallic and PBR-Specular texture sets. These maps cover the main buoy body at 2048×2048 resolution, with supplementary textures for the bulk and numbering. A functional aspect of this asset is its flexibility; the identification numbers on the hull can be adjusted from 00 to 99, and the mooring chain length is customizable to fit the specific depth requirements of your virtual environment.

Mesh and Format Details

• Includes 4 distinct Levels of Detail (LODs) to optimize performance in complex scenes.
• Base LOD0 contains 8,944 triangles, scaling down to 612 triangles at the most efficient LOD3.
• Supplied in FBX, OBJ, and Blender formats with organized pivots and object naming.
• Comprehensive texture maps include Albedo, Normal, Roughness, Metallic, Ambient Occlusion, and Emission.

Potential Scene Uses

This Buoy is well-suited for real-time applications such as maritime simulations, port visualizations, or coastal environments within Unity or Unreal Engine. Its low-poly construction and integrated LOD system make it efficient for large-scale scenes where multiple markers are required across a river or harbor. The inclusion of emission maps allows for realistic nighttime visibility in dark environment renders, accurately reflecting how these markers function in real-world conditions.

For practical reference, the mesh is listed at 16.1k triangles; and 8.3k vertices; and is categorized under Architecture, Science & Technology.
