Ferris wheel

A low-poly park Ferris wheel: an 18 m spoked wheel with 16 level-hanging gondolas and rim lights on twin A-frame towers, with a boarding deck and operator booth on a concrete base.

How it was made

The brief given to 1DesignTool's “3D object” template:

Ferris wheel for the Amusement Park kit. Design it as one clear asset at believable real-world scale for that setting (state the size in metres in meta.notes), with its main parts modelled and named, readable at thumbnail size and from every orbit angle. This is one part of the Amusement Park kit (Low-poly style, flat-lowpoly direction): Rides, lights and queues. Use ONLY the kit palette, by name: candy red #c32222, yellow #eecd2b, sky blue #2e67b8, white #f4f1ec, candy red dark #821717, yellow dark #bda00f, candy red light #db5757, yellow light #f0db75, soot black #1b1b22, warm white #f2ede2, mid grey #7d828c, dark wood #3d2a1c. Every material's `name` must be exactly the palette colour it uses — the GLB carries these names so the kit recolours as one; an unnamed material fails delivery. Kit knob: expose a param `rideColours` (0–1, default 0.5) for the kit's "Ride colours" setting wherever it makes sense on this part, and keep that id.

Note: Real-world scale in metres: 18 m wheel diameter, hub at 12.4 m, 21.55 m tall overall, 19.7 m wide across the gondolas and 7.9 m deep. Origin is at the bottom centre under the axle, front faces +Z, and the model rests on y = 0. 5,428 triangles and 9 materials, each named exactly after its kit palette colour. Static model with no animation clip. The rotor node (ferriswheel.rotor) is pivoted on the axle and each gondola node is pivoted on its pin, so you can spin the wheel and counter-rotate the cabins in your engine. Params are applied when the model is built; the GLB is the default build. gondolas is clamped to what fits the chosen diameter so cabins never collide: max 19 at 18 m, 15 at 14 m. rideColours swaps palette materials in steps: below 0.34 every gondola is candy red and the towers are white; 0.34–0.66 alternates candy red and yellow with sky-blue towers (default); 0.67 and up cycles candy red, yellow and sky blue. The three assembly nodes use ferriswheel.* ids because the design kit part-id pattern does not allow hyphens; every other part uses the amusement-park-ferris-wheel.* prefix. glb-lint reports 0 errors; its verdict reads UNVERIFIED only because no requirements contract was supplied, and its 3 warnings are heuristics (deliberate nesting, rotor parts in separate groups, 21 m height vs a 1 m reference).

About the Ferris wheel 3D model

Ferris wheel is a free low-poly 3D model from the Amusement Park set. It measures 20 m × 22 m × 7.9 m (W × H × D) at real-world scale and is built from 5,428 triangles across 69 meshes, with 33 named parts. Download the 343 KB GLB and drop it into three.js, React Three Fiber, Godot or Blender — free for commercial use, no attribution required.

Is the Ferris wheel 3D model free for commercial use?
Yes. It is free under the 1DesignTool 3D library license: use it in personal and commercial work — games, apps, websites, renders, ads and client projects — and modify it as you like, with no credit required. What you can't do is re-sell or re-distribute the file on its own or inside a model pack.
What file format is it, and how big is it?
A single binary glTF 2.0 file (.glb), 343 KB: 5,428 triangles, 10,543 vertices and 9 materials, modelled in metres at 20 m × 22 m × 7.9 m.
Can I animate Ferris wheel?
It ships as a static mesh. Its 33 named parts are separate nodes, so you can move or animate each one in your engine.
Which engines and tools can open it?
Anything that reads glTF 2.0. three.js, React Three Fiber, Babylon.js, Godot 4 and Blender import the GLB directly; Unity and Unreal Engine load it through their glTF importers. The snippets above show the exact code for three.js, React Three Fiber, Godot and Blender.
How was the Ferris wheel 3D model made?
Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5) generated it inside 1DesignTool's 3D template from a written brief, then the design kit's checks verified the geometry and the GLB before it was published. You can make your own the same way with 1DesignTool.
