3D Image Gallery

   This page contains some sample images from VarksArt 3D models with related main info. By clicking on each thumbnail you can open the larger image.



Bates Property
   One of the most well known movie sets must be the Bates' motel and the house from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Although this 3D-model from the movie set is a compromise in several aspects, the aim was to make a true "real time renderable" scenery with believable atmosphere. See the movie in YouTube and actual model free in 3D Warehouse.


Hame Castle
   The model was one of the first I made with Google's free SketchUp 3D modeling application. In the image is the second, fixed version of this model. Both are viewable free in 3D Warehouse.
   

Linnanniemi
   Linnanniemi -scene is a set of five separate 3D models. All of them are downloadable free in 3D Warehouse. This image is as the scene can be seen in Google Earth; complete and in true location.


Hameenlinna Art Museum
   The very first model I uploaded to the public was the main building of the Hameenlinna Art Museum. Unfortunately, when I later and more skilled made this full and far more optimized version of the area, quality standards in Google Earth was changed. Still, not in Google Earth, but the model is viewable free in 3D Warehouse.
   You can also make an anaglyph journey on a friendly website.

   
Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft
   Although this three dimensional portrait may look very detailed it still is very much a low polygon model. The head and sunglasses are made with under one thousand polygons. See the movie in YouTube and actual model free in 3D Warehouse.


Colt Navy 1861
   Colt Navy 1861 belongs to the series of Colt percussion revolvers. It contains several texture variants for each model. The frame, barrel, loading lever, trigger, hammer, recoil shield, stock and bullet cylinder are separate elements. Also texture images are individual but matching. So, by mixing these parts it is possible to make several different looking highly realistic variants in one scene and still keep the overall file size relatively small.

   
Colt Percussion Revolvers - Low Polygon
   Each Colt Percussion model partly uses common parts. The frame, barrel, loading lever, hammer, recoil shield, trigger guard, stock and bullet cylinder are separate but matching elements and by mixing proper gun parts it is possible to make several different looking variants. Belt-size Army and Navy, and smaller Police and Pocket models are available. Also barrel lengths are modifiable. Example models in the image above left contain totally 4674 polygons and 568 kB texture. See the movie in YouTube.

   
Walther PPK
   Like Colt Percussion 3D-models, Walther PPK has also several texture variants. By mixing various frame, slide, grip and magazine parts you can easily make the combination you want. The file size varies a little depending on textures. From several different versions, there is also well known black "James Bond PPK".


Walther PPK Pistols - Low Polygon
   Like Colt Percussion 3D-models, Walther PPK has also several texture variants. By mixing various frame, slide, grip and magazine parts you can easily make the combination you want. The file size varies depending on textures. All models seen in this image contain totally 3614 polygons and 760 kB of texture. See the movie in YouTube.


Nikon FM
   Nikon FM is a legendary, completely manual 35mm SLR camera from 70's. It was that low cost camera that even professionals could rely on. It trained a beginner to an expert. It is also one from the series of the VarksArt low polygon 3D Nikon FM/FE cameras.

   
Nikon FM/FE Cameras - Low Polygon
   In the series of Nikon FM/FE cameras, each model mostly contains shared textures and components. Therefore, in the same scene their overall file size is relatively small. Example models (including all seen in the image) contain totally 4179 polygons and 590 kB texture. See the movie in YouTube and if you own red/cyan goggles, here you can find anaglyph images.
 

Nikon Nikkor MF Lenses
   The series of Nikkor manual focus lens 3D-models mainly use shared textures. That is the reason why their overall texture file size (without lens caps and sales packages) is only 180 kB. (For comparison, the full-size 1680x922 version of this image itself is already 193 kB). Lens set contains Ultra wide 15mm, 20mm and 28mm wide angle lenses, three different (f1.2, f1.4, f1.8) 50mm normal lenses, 85mm portrait and 105mm, 135mm and 180mm telephoto lenses. The lenses are of course matched for Nikon FM/FE camera 3D-models. Scales are rotating and hoods movable. All models seen in this image contain totally 2739 polygons and 214 kB texture.




Tropical Island
   This 3D model was a presentation for a rendering application. Its appearance is matched for the application's default scene and it contains some elements designed to presents various features and tools of the application. Island terrain, bungalow, bungalow interior, palms, bushes, pier, umbrella, camera, life jacket, sandals, compass, fragment of a film and reel, solar panel, stone, chameleon and a newspaper. All that and more with only 1064 polygons and 2,25 MB.

   
Pedal Car Testing Circuit
   Full, 1,250km (0,78 mile) long racing circuit with high resolution textures. Contains all necessary components; trees, garages, lamps, walls, hedges etc. Total file size for the textures in the circuit scene is 3,5 MB, and 281 kB for car's cab and broken windscreen images. See the movie in YouTube. Tuning instructions are here.

   
Wadi Rum Circuit
   Short but interesting rally track circuit in a sand desert environment. Despite of its high quality textures, the file size is small. Less polygons, more details. Watch the screen capture from the track in YouTube.


Virtual Alley
   An urban 3D-scene that contains several ultra low poly components with highly realistic appearance. Also it demonstrates the function of SetTree3D, "to the limits" optimized tree for SketchUp's 3D sceneries. The scene is viewable free in 3D Warehouse.


Finnish Forest
   This 3D-scene from typical Finnish mixed forest is made by using ultra low polygon SetTree3D trees. The model demonstrates how easily and fluently SetTree3D runs even in very massive scenery. The scene contains 35 separate trees, several bushes and some other components, such as power line, old derelict barn and terrain.
