About this model
This methane molecule 3D model is the textbook example of a tetrahedron in chemistry. One charcoal carbon atom carries four white hydrogen atoms on short light grey sticks, and every H to C to H angle is the true 109.5 degrees. Two hydrogens point up and two point down, turned so that all four stay visible from the usual front right view. Underneath, the carbon is held by the steel rod of the domed lilac foot that unites the science lab set. The atoms are glossy pastel plastic, and the whole model is one closed mesh with spotless baked PBR textures. Pair it with the CO2 Molecule and the Water Molecule for a small gas lesson. The stand is 9 cm wide, the model is 12.3 cm tall and has 7,520 triangles with 2K maps.
Good for
- Organic chemistry lesson visual
- Natural gas or energy explainer
- Lab shelf decoration
- Quiz or puzzle game asset

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 (0.12 m = 12 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.
