Mini excavator, studio render

Mini excavator

The mini excavator in the Construction plant and machinery pack is put together from just four placed parts, each used once: a mini base, a mini boom, a mini stick and a mini bucket. Each of those is a separate component model, so the file works as a short, readable example of how an assembly is put together from parts.

It sits beside seven other machines in the same pack: the tracked excavator, piling rig, site dumper, skid-steer loader, tandem roller, telehandler and wheel loader. Because the pack builds every machine from separate parts, you can load the assembly as it is and get a complete machine, or open the file and read how the four pieces are placed in relation to one another before arranging your own.

An assembly from the Construction plant and machinery pack: 4 placed parts positioned by an assembly file, using 4 unique component models. Load the whole thing with the pack's three.js loader, or read the file to build your own variations.

The picture is a studio render. View in 3D loads the GLB files themselves in three.js; switch between high, medium and low to compare.

This scene on its own: the assembly file and the 4 models it places, each in high, medium and low detail, plus the three.js loader and a working example (2.2 MB zip).
