## About

Free 3D model of a wind blown sand drift for a desert scene: a low 5 m crescent bank of sand, 0.55 m at its crest, for banking against a wall or a step. Dimensions 5.39 by 1.00 by 1.99 m (X by Y by Z). Metre units, +Y up, +Z front, origin on the footprint at ground level. Ground dressing, origin at the centre of the footprint. Bank it against a boundary wall, a portal step or a ground module joint to break the line where the built ground meets the desert. 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/38109/v1/model.glb', (gltf) => {
  scene.add(gltf.scene)
})
```

## React Three Fiber

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

export function SandDriftDesertMosqueAndMadrasaCourtyard(props) {
  const { scene } = useGLTF('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38109/v1/model.glb')
  return <primitive object={scene} {...props} />
}
useGLTF.preload('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38109/v1/model.glb')
```

## <model-viewer>

```html
<model-viewer src="https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38109/v1/model.glb" alt="Sand Drift (Desert Mosque and Madrasa Courtyard)" camera-controls auto-rotate></model-viewer>
```

## 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/38109/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/38109/v1/model.glb")) await gltf.InstantiateMainSceneAsync(transform);
```
