## About

Free 3D model of a square minaret base for a desert mosque: a 2.9 m plinth and tiled panelled block with a cornice and the octagonal seat the shaft stacks on. Dimensions 2.90 by 3.98 by 2.90 m (X by Y by Z). Metre units, +Y up, +Z front, origin on the footprint at ground level. Connectors: top (shaft) at (0.00, 3.98, 0.00) facing (0, 1, 0). Tower module, origin on the centre of the footprint. Stands 3.98 m to the seat, where the first shaft section beds; stack shaft sections on it, then the balcony, another section and the cap. The tiled panels are abstract geometric tessellations and carry no inscription. There is no stair inside and no way up: the tower is a silhouette piece. Invented throughout: no real mosque, madrasa, city, institution or identifiable building is reproduced. Every pattern on it is an abstract geometric or interlace repeat, with no inscription, calligraphy or writing of any script, and there is no figurative depiction of a person or an animal anywhere in this pack. Desert palette: sandstone ashlar and darker stone, lime plaster, cobalt and turquoise glaze, cedar, split cane, brass, wrought iron, sand and courtyard green. Static geometry; no rig, animation, collision or navigation data.

## Use with three.js

```js
import { GLTFLoader } from 'three/addons/loaders/GLTFLoader.js'

const loader = new GLTFLoader()
loader.load('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38114/v1/model.glb', (gltf) => {
  scene.add(gltf.scene)
})
```

## React Three Fiber

```jsx
import { useGLTF } from '@react-three/drei'

export function MinaretBaseDesertMosqueAndMadrasaCourtyard(props) {
  const { scene } = useGLTF('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38114/v1/model.glb')
  return <primitive object={scene} {...props} />

## Blender

```python
# Blender 4.x: File > Import > glTF 2.0, or from the Python console after downloading the file.
import bpy
bpy.ops.import_scene.gltf(filepath='model.glb')  # from https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38114/v1/model.glb
# Metres and +Y up are converted to Blender's Z-up scene automatically.
```

## Godot

```gdscript
# Godot 4: copy model.glb into res://models/ and the editor imports it as a scene.
var packed := load("res://models/model.glb") as PackedScene
var model := packed.instantiate()
add_child(model)
```

## Unity

```csharp
// Unity: import model.glb with glTFast (Package Manager: com.unity.cloud.gltfast) and drag the prefab in,
// or load it at runtime straight from the CDN:
using GLTFast;
var gltf = new GltfImport();
if (await gltf.Load("https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38114/v1/model.glb")) await gltf.InstantiateMainSceneAsync(transform);
```
