About this model

Before clocks, the shadow of a bronze blade told the hour in every forum. The ancient sundial 3d model places a round marble dial on a short fluted marble column with an attic base, 16 flutes, a necking, an echinus and a square abacus. Below lies a two step sandstone base with a little moss. Inlaid bronze lines mark 13 hour lines laid out for about 42 degrees latitude, framed by an inner and an outer ring. Lines only, no numerals. The bronze gnomon with a round cut out stands on the noon line at a 42 degree angle and points north along +Y. Including the gnomon the piece is 0.72 m wide and 1.43 m tall, made of 12,818 triangles with 2K PBR textures. Gardens, plazas or puzzles about time across the Cozy Ancient Ruins Kit suit it well, and its column pedestal sets it apart from a flat garden dial.

Good for

  • Time of day puzzles in adventure games
  • Forum and garden decoration
  • Science and history education
  • Day and night cycle showcases

Engine import notes

Unity GLB · FBX

Import the GLB with the glTFast package or use the FBX. 1 m in the file = 1 Unity unit.

Unreal Engine FBX

Use the FBX. The model is built in metres. Unreal works in centimetres and converts on import, so it arrives at real size (1.43 m = 143 cm).

Godot 4 GLB · FBX

Drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock. Godot 4 imports it directly, with materials. The FBX works too (Godot 4.3+ imports it natively).

Blender BLEND · GLB

Open the .blend directly, or import the GLB via File › Import › glTF 2.0.

Use it in: UnityUnrealGodotBlender
