Project Spec: Automated Stacker Crane (Unit Load)
Model Type: Industrial Machinery / Hard Surface Poly Count Target: 50k – 150k tris (High fidelity) | 10k – 20k (Real-time/Game-ready) Reference Context: High-bay warehouse cold storage or logistics center.
Visual Summary (Key Features to Nail)
- Verticality: Emphasize the height-to-width ratio; it is a tall, thin machine.
- Mechanical Density: The carriage should look "busy" with motors, belts, and sensors.
- Sensors: Add small, distinct colored boxes (blue lights or red reflectors) on the carriage—these are the "eyes" of the automation.
- Wire Looms: Do not forget the cable tracks (e-tracks) that carry power cables up the mast; they add significant visual complexity.
High-quality models for industrial simulation often incorporate these additional details:
A stacker crane 3D model typically includes the following features:
This piece serves as a blueprint for modeling a stacker crane that functions mechanically and looks industrially authentic.
