Satellite dishes

Low-poly rooftop satellite dishes: a short braced mast on a slab-weighted ballast sled. It carries a large white dish facing forward and two smaller dishes on side arms turned to other satellites, each with a feed arm and LNB.

How it was made

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

Satellite dishes for the Rooftop District 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 Rooftop District kit (Low-poly style, flat-lowpoly direction): Life above the streets. Use ONLY the kit palette, by name: brick red #c32222, tar grey #757e8a, sunset orange #ed7e1d, water-tower brown #6b4a2e, brick red dark #821717, tar grey dark #525860, brick red light #db5757, tar grey light #a3a5a8, 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 `skylineHeight` (0–1, default 0.5) for the kit's "Skyline height" setting wherever it makes sense on this part, and keep that id.

Note: Size: 1.31 m wide (X) by 1.51 m deep (Z) by 2.27 m tall. It is a 1.1 m square non-penetrating ballast sled on two timber sleepers with four tar slabs. A 90 mm mast is braced by four diagonal struts. A 1.0 m prime-focus dish faces +Z at 30° elevation near the top. A 0.62 m dish faces +X and a 0.56 m dish faces -X lower down. The origin is at the bottom centre and the model rests on y = 0. The exported model has 1,540 triangles in 20 meshes. Every material is named exactly after a kit palette colour; 9 of the 12 are used. The dish shells are double-sided open surfaces, and every other mesh is a closed solid. The model is static, with no animation clip. Params are baked into the GLB at their defaults and only change the model when the scene is rebuilt in the viewer. skylineHeight (the kit's 'Skyline height') sets the mast from 1.5 m at 0 to 2.4 m at 1, and all dishes move with it. dishCount below 3 removes the side dishes and their part ids (dish_left first, then dish_right). Both param extremes were rendered. The all-max build passed three-check. The all-min build rendered cleanly but failed three-check's part check only because its two side dishes are absent by design. glb-lint: 0 errors and 5 heuristic warnings. These cover duplicate material names from the exporter's per-mesh clones, non-indexed geometry (deliberate flat shading), mast and arm-clamp bounding-box overlap (the clamps wrap the mast), and a 2.27 m height against the direction's 1 m reference. Its verdict reads UNVERIFIED only because no host requirements contract was supplied. plan-check passes except for its part-id regex, which rejects the hyphens in the slug-based ids this library requires; three-check accepts them and all 6 survive the GLB reload.

About the Satellite dishes 3D model

Satellite dishes is a free low-poly 3D model from the Rooftop District set. It measures 1.3 m × 2.3 m × 1.5 m (W × H × D) at real-world scale and is built from 1,540 triangles across 20 meshes, with 6 named parts. Download the 126 KB GLB and drop it into three.js, React Three Fiber, Godot or Blender — free for commercial use, no attribution required.

Is the Satellite dishes 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), 126 KB: 1,540 triangles, 4,620 vertices and 20 materials, modelled in metres at 1.3 m × 2.3 m × 1.5 m.
Can I animate Satellite dishes?
It ships as a static mesh. Its 6 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 Satellite dishes 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.
