Is the Benches 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), 41 KB: 444 triangles, 1,332 vertices and 11 materials, modelled in metres at 1.8 m × 96 cm × 64 cm.

Can I animate Benches?

It ships as a static mesh. Its 7 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 Benches 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.

Benches

A low-poly canal towpath bench: thick dark-wood seat planks on two brick piers with stone caps, and a reclined backrest painted in narrowboat blue with white lining on black iron straps.

How it was made

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

Benches for the Canal and Locks 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 Canal and Locks kit (Low-poly style, flat-lowpoly direction): Slow boats through green country. Use ONLY the kit palette, by name: canal green #3a883a, boat red and blue #2e67b8, brick #9e3d2e, willow #988e81, canal green dark #235223, boat red and blue dark #1f457a, canal green light #5db15d, boat red and blue light #6190d1, 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 `waterLevel` (0–1, default 0.5) for the kit's "Water level" setting wherever it makes sense on this part, and keep that id.

Note: Real-world size 1.80 m long × 0.64 m deep × 0.96 m tall, with the seat top at 0.475 m. Origin at the bottom centre, the piers rest on y = 0, and the seat faces +Z. Exported model: 444 triangles in 11 meshes (merged per part and colour, non-indexed for flat facets), static with no animation clip. Every material is named after its kit palette colour. waterLevel only raises the green damp line on the pier feet, from 2 cm (0) to 16 cm (1). The bench carries no water. length moves the piers so the planks always overhang by 12 cm. Every param was tested at both extremes and three-check PASSed. glb-lint: 0 errors. Its verdict is 'UNVERIFIED' only because no requirements contract exists, and it raises heuristic warnings for the straps nested against the back panel and for the caps sitting on the piers. plan-check's part-id pattern rejects hyphenated slugs, so the plan was verified on a de-hyphenated copy (PASS).
