Sextant 3D model

cgtrader

Fun fact: The very first sextant was brought to life in 1759 by John Bird, a legendary craftsman renowned for creating precision mathematical instruments. Unlike cutting-edge navigation tools like GPS, the sextant runs entirely without electrical power, making it an exceptional backup navigational aid still utilized on ships to this day. When broken down from its Latin roots, sextant translates as sixth part because the instrument's curved arc forms exactly one sixth of a circle. The term also encompasses similar reflective instruments, including the quadrant, which measures angles up to 90 degrees, and others like the quintant and octant. Every aspect of the model is completely included and properly mapped across all formats. It is entirely prepared for visualization within any three-dimensional software or engine. Technical specifics are detailed below: A special transparency map has been included for the glass material, where white represents glass and black symbolizes non-glass (this can be reversed if required). The following file types have been packaged: FBX, OBJ, ABC, DAE, GLB, PLY, STL, x3d. Native software file format is BLEND. The total vertex count reaches 8101 points. Textures encompass Color, Metallic, Roughness, Normal, AO.
