Excavator

Low Poly Model

3D Art | January 2017

A 3 dimensional model of an excavator

Inspiration

Did this model based on an excavator I saw one day out of the office window. I also used images I could find on the internet to get the details and proportion as acurately as I could.

An image of the excavator this model was based on.

360 Degree GIF

Here is a little GIF doing a 360 turn loop around the excavator.
