Rapider UAV

This is my 3D model of the Rapider UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), created in Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag. The asset is built with a single 4K texture set and optimized at 18k polygons, making it suitable for both real-time applications and high-quality visualization.

The Rapider is a compact fixed-wing drone designed for reconnaissance, surveillance, and rapid deployment missions. Known for its lightweight build and versatility, it’s often used in defense and research contexts where speed, maneuverability, and extended flight endurance are critical.

In this project, I focused on achieving a balance between realism and efficiency, ensuring that the model holds up well both in close-up renders and in practical use for games or simulations.
