F16 Integrated Control Panel - ICP 3D model

cgtrader

The Integrated Control Panel, abbreviated as ICP, serves as the primary interface linking multiple systems within the F-16 fighter jet. Among its numerous functions, it enables operators to activate various weaponry options, customize navigation settings, and choose communication channels for seamless interaction with other units. Together, the ICP and Data Entry Display synergistically monitor weapon status and ongoing activities, streamlining system handling for enhanced operational efficiency. Functionally equivalent to a keyboard and a computer monitor, respectively, the ICP effectively manages inputs, while the DED displays crucial information. Alongside the Head-Up Display (HUD), they collectively form the core of the Up-Front Control, the UFC system. During any potential failures of the ICP, redundant backup systems available in the side consoles enable continuity without interruptions. Strategically located beneath the HUD on the center console, it plays a critical role within the complex network of controls found inside the aircraft. Utilizing Blender 2.79 and tailored for use with the Cycles rendering engine, this precise digital model incorporates Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) principles into its material properties. Its simple, hollow rig designed using basic 'Empties,' facilitates seamless animation sequences without added complications. This meticulous creation adheres to stringent specifications: approximately 40,994 unique vertices, which comprise a Poly Count of 39,206 distinct polygonal structures. Should some aspect not be present within the .blend file for reasons such as excessive packing or space limitations, detailed texture assets and related materials may be found within the 'Texture' folder of the accompanying zip archive. In response to this LED-illuminating display's requirement, a user-friendly node modification was implemented for simple panel on/off switching capabilities. This streamlined solution merely toggles a key node setting from off to fully active.
