Six-wheel rover
A low-poly six-wheel Mars colony rover with rocker-bogie suspension, solar wings, a sensor mast and a dish antenna. It comes with an 8-second loop in which the wheels roll, the mast head scans and the dish swings.

The brief given to 1DesignTool's “3D object” template:
Six-wheel rover for the Mars Colony 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. It moves: author a seamless baked loop (2–12 s) with every pivot exactly at its hinge, axle or swivel, and keep the base still. This is one part of the Mars Colony kit (Low-poly style, flat-lowpoly direction): A first settlement on red dust. Use ONLY the kit palette, by name: rust red #c32222, white #f4f1ec, solar blue #2e67b8, hazard orange #ed7e1d, rust red dark #821717, white dark #d7cebc, rust red light #db5757, white light #f9f8f6, 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 `dustStormLevel` (0–1, default 0.5) for the kit's "Dust storm level" setting wherever it makes sense on this part, and keep that id.

Note: Real-world scale: 3.30 m long, 2.24 m tall to the top of the mast head, and 2.56 m wide with the solar wings at the default setting (2.34 m across the wheels). The wheels are 0.72 m across on a 2.6 m wheelbase. The front faces +Z and the origin is at the bottom centre; flat tread faces rest on y = 0. The GLB has 2,076 triangles and one 8 s seamless clip, 'scene-motion'. In the clip, the six wheels make two full forward turns on their axles, the mast head pans ±34° on the mast's own axis, and the dish swings on its post. The chassis, suspension and wings stay still. While the wheels turn, their 12-facet corners dip up to about 1 cm below y = 0, which a ground plane hides. Part ids use the 'marscolonysixwheelrover.*' prefix because the kit's part-id grammar does not allow hyphens. Materials use the exact kit palette colour names: 9 are used, and 'rust red light', 'warm white' and 'dark wood' are not. The exporter clones a material for each mesh, so the GLB has 51 material slots that share those 9 names. To recolour the model, match on the material name. All params rebuild the model and are not animated. dustStormLevel folds the solar wings up on their hinges: they stay nearly flat below 0.25, are tilted about 25° at the default 0.5, and stand upright at 1. wheelbase, wheelRadius and mastHeight resize the rocker-bogie geometry and the mast. glb-lint reported 0 blocking errors. Its verdict prints UNVERIFIED only because no requirements contract was supplied. Its 5 warnings are heuristics: material count and duplicates caused by the per-mesh cloning, nested parts overlapping (cells inset on their frames), panels that touch the body but sit in a different part group, and a 2.24× reference-height scale, which is expected for a vehicle.
