Documentation for Stacked Beehive

Overview

This Stacked Beehive model is designed to add realism to rural, farm, beekeeping, or nature scenes. With a high level of detail and fully modeled interiors, it is perfect for real-time applications (games, AR/VR) and pre-rendered scenes.

Components

• Meshes:

  • Lid
  • Wooden Stand
  • Langstroth Boxes (x3)
  • Honeycomb Frames (x6 – 4 unique, 2 duplicated)

• Textures:

  • PBR texture sets (4K & 2K) for realistic material rendering
    • Albedo (Base Color)
    • Roughness
    • Metallic
    • Normal
    • Height
    • Translucency

Key Features

1. Optimized for Real-Time & Rendering

   • Efficient topology with high detail for close-up shots.
   • Works well in game engines and cinematic renders.

2. Removable Honeycomb Frames

   • Frames are highly detailed and can be removed or rearranged as needed.

3. Interior & Exterior Detail

   • The inside of the beehive is fully modeled, making it suitable for interactive scenes.

4. Customizable & Easy to Modify

   • Fully UV unwrapped, allowing for custom textures or adjustments.
   • Use vertex colors for easy retexturing and shader adjustments.

Instructions for Use

1. Importing the Model

   • Compatible with Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine, Unity, and other 3D software.

2. Applying the Materials

   • Assign the provided PBR textures to a Principled BSDF shader for realistic wood and honeycomb materials.
   • Use translucency maps to enhance light interaction with honeycomb sections.

3. Scene Integration

   • Ideal for farm environments, nature renders, beekeeping simulations, or educational visuals.
   • Works in both real-time and pre-rendered applications.

Tips for Best Results

• Wood & Honeycomb Material Setup: Adjust roughness to create realistic wooden and wax surfaces.
• Shader Adjustments: Use the translucency map to create a realistic waxy honeycomb effect.
• Lighting: Proper lighting will enhance depth and realism, especially for honeycomb translucency.

Compatibility

This asset is compatible with:

• Blender
• Maya
