Turnstiles

A low-poly bank of two subway tripod turnstiles. Chamfered steel cabinets with line-colour side bands and entry-end card readers flank each lane, and a safety-yellow three-arm rotor blocks the way.

How it was made

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

Turnstiles for the Subway Station 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 Subway Station kit (Low-poly style, flat-lowpoly direction): A busy underground stop. Use ONLY the kit palette, by name: tile white #f4f1ec, safety yellow #ffdd33, steel #7e8c9a, line colour #988e81, tile white dark #d7cebc, safety yellow dark #e6bf00, tile white light #f9f8f6, safety yellow light #ffea80, 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 `lineColour` (0–1, default 0.5) for the kit's "Line colour" setting wherever it makes sense on this part, and keep that id.

Note: Size: 1.98 m wide × 1.10 m deep × 1.00 m tall at the defaults (two lanes, 0.6 m wide). It has three cabinets, each 0.26 m wide, 1.10 m long and 1.00 m tall. The rotor hub is at 0.88 m. The origin is at the bottom centre on y = 0, and the entry side, with the card readers, faces +Z. The GLB has 1016 triangles in 10 meshes (merged per part and colour) and no animation clip. Normals are baked flat (non-indexed), so the facets survive in any engine. It uses 6 of the 12 kit colours, and every material is named exactly after its palette colour. The exporter writes one material per mesh, so 'soot black', 'safety yellow' and 'mid grey' each appear on more than one material: recolour by name. The rotors follow real tripod geometry: the axis leans 45° down into the lane and the arms sit on a 45° cone, so one arm lies level across the lane. Params are baked into the GLB at their defaults and only change the geometry when the scene is rebuilt in the viewer. lineColour (the kit's 'Line colour') sets the depth of the line-colour livery band, from 0.06 to 0.18 m. lanes (1–3) adds cabinets and rotors, laneWidth sets the passage width and arm length, and rotorTurn is a static pose that rotates the rotors through one 120° step. The rotors do not spin in the GLB. glb-lint: 0 errors and 4 heuristic warnings. Two are deliberate: duplicate materials (the per-part meshes above) and non-indexed flat-shaded geometry. Sibling overlap is the lids and reader faces nesting on the bodies. 'Detached' livery refers to bands seated 6 mm into the cabinet faces, which belong to another part group. The heuristic verdict reads UNVERIFIED only because no 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 those ids, and all 6 survive the GLB reload.

About the Turnstiles 3D model

Turnstiles is a free low-poly 3D model from the Subway Station set. It measures 2.0 m × 1.0 m × 1.1 m (W × H × D) at real-world scale and is built from 1,016 triangles across 10 meshes, with 6 named parts. Download the 80 KB GLB and drop it into three.js, React Three Fiber, Godot or Blender — free for commercial use, no attribution required.

Is the Turnstiles 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), 80 KB: 1,016 triangles, 3,048 vertices and 10 materials, modelled in metres at 2.0 m × 1.0 m × 1.1 m.
Can I animate Turnstiles?
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 Turnstiles 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.
