{"data":{"id":"8414","slug":"vfx-mesh-library-whirl-ribbon-37f08d85","title":"Whirl ribbon (VFX Mesh Library)","summary":"A ribbon spiralling one and a half turns up a narrowing column, with a second inner ribbon, a core shaft and a base ring.","description":"A rising whirlwind strike. The outer ribbon is swept up a cone that narrows from 0.36 m to 0.16 m over one and a half turns, a thinner ribbon follows inside it, a lathed shaft runs up the axis and a torus marks the base. Bounding size 0.82 by 1.00 by 0.78 m, metres, +Y up, +Z forward. Origin: ground contact at y=0. The effect emits from the ground plane and its lowest geometry sinks 0.019 m under that plane, so the mesh is settled onto y=0 and the emission plane sits 0.019 m up. Opaque solid geometry throughout: this pack uses no alpha blending and no transmission, so the silhouette and the emissive material carry the read. Static mesh with no animation clip, no skinned rig, no collision and no navigation data.","status":"published","url":"https://3dassets.dev/assets/vfx-mesh-library-whirl-ribbon-37f08d85","cdnUrl":"https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/model.glb","downloadUrl":"https://3dassets.dev/download/vfx-mesh-library-whirl-ribbon-37f08d85","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/thumb.webp","posterUrl":"https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/poster.webp","blurhash":"UBE3VW_3000000WB?bRj00IU?w%N-;t7xut6","category":{"slug":"effects-primitives","title":"Effects & Primitives"},"tags":[{"slug":"sci-fi","title":"Sci-Fi"},{"slug":"stylized","title":"Stylized"},{"slug":"kit","title":"Kit / Set"},{"slug":"exterior","title":"Exterior"}],"license":{"slug":"cc0-1.0","name":"CC0 1.0 Universal","url":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/","attributionRequired":false},"contributor":{"username":"3dassets","name":"3D Assets","url":"https://3dassets.dev/u/3dassets"},"stats":{"fileSize":63728,"triangles":1288,"vertices":3864,"meshes":2,"materials":2,"textures":0,"animations":[],"boundingBox":{"min":[-0.3820180744637604,0,-0.3820170751664332],"max":[0.4338486046303864,0.9990525841712952,0.39334258352252754]},"sizeMeters":[0.816,0.999,0.775],"hasDraco":false,"hasMeshopt":false,"hasKTX2":false,"extensionsUsed":["KHR_mesh_quantization"]},"aiGenerated":true,"aiModel":"Claude Opus 5 (1M context)","downloads":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-06T13:56:31.203Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-06T13:56:32.117Z","usage":{"threejs":"import { GLTFLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/GLTFLoader.js'\n\nconst loader = new GLTFLoader()\nloader.load('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/model.glb', (gltf) => {\n  scene.add(gltf.scene)\n})","r3f":"import { useGLTF } from '@react-three/drei'\n\nexport function WhirlRibbonVFXMeshLibrary(props) {\n  const { scene } = useGLTF('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/model.glb')\n  return <primitive object={scene} {...props} />\n}\nuseGLTF.preload('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/model.glb')","modelViewer":"<model-viewer src=\"https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/model.glb\" alt=\"Whirl ribbon (VFX Mesh Library)\" camera-controls auto-rotate></model-viewer>","blender":"# Blender 4.x: File > Import > glTF 2.0, or from the Python console after downloading the file.\nimport bpy\nbpy.ops.import_scene.gltf(filepath='model.glb')  # from https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/model.glb\n# Metres and +Y up are converted to Blender's Z-up scene automatically.","godot":"# Godot 4: copy model.glb into res://models/ and the editor imports it as a scene.\nvar packed := load(\"res://models/model.glb\") as PackedScene\nvar model := packed.instantiate()\nadd_child(model)","unity":"// Unity: import model.glb with glTFast (Package Manager: com.unity.cloud.gltfast) and drag the prefab in,\n// or load it at runtime straight from the CDN:\nusing GLTFast;\nvar gltf = new GltfImport();\nif (await gltf.Load(\"https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/8414/v1/model.glb\")) await gltf.InstantiateMainSceneAsync(transform);"}}}
