## About

Free 3D model of a wire stitching machine: a 1.75 m pedestal stitcher with a wire spool, a treadle and a turning flywheel, for a printing works game asset kit. Dimensions 0.70 by 1.75 by 0.92 m (X by Y by Z). Metre units, +Y up, +Z front, origin on the footprint at ground level. Animated pivot nodes: flywheel at (-0.30, 0.92, -0.10) m. A pedestal wire stitcher 0.70 m wide and 0.62 m deep standing 1.75 m to the head, with a spool of wire at the back, a sheaf of blank stock under the head and a treadle at the foot. The flywheel turns on the spin clip. The head, the spool and the treadle are fixed, and the wire itself is not modelled as a moving element because flexible material needs a joint per span. Every sheet under the head is blank. Letterpress works palette: worn concrete, works brick, cast iron, machine enamel green, bright steel, brass, dark oak, pale pine, newsprint, printing ink black, type metal, brass and window glass. Standard PBR materials with embedded procedural maps. Rigid node-transform clips: spin. No skinning. No collision or navigation data.

## Use with three.js

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

let mixer

const loader = new GLTFLoader()
loader.load('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/37749/v1/model.glb', (gltf) => {
  scene.add(gltf.scene)
  mixer = new AnimationMixer(gltf.scene)
  mixer.clipAction(gltf.animations[0]).play()
})

// Call from your render loop; deltaSeconds is time since the previous frame.
function updateAssetAnimation(deltaSeconds) {
  mixer?.update(deltaSeconds)
}
```

## React Three Fiber

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

export function WireStitcherPrintingPressAndNewspaperOffice(props) {
  const { scene, animations } = useGLTF('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/37749/v1/model.glb')
  const { actions, names } = useAnimations(animations, scene)
  useEffect(() => {
    const action = actions[names[0]]
    action?.reset().play()
    return () => { action?.stop() }
  }, [actions, names])
  return <primitive object={scene} {...props} />
}
useGLTF.preload('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/37749/v1/model.glb')
```

## 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/37749/v1/model.glb
# Metres and +Y up are converted to Blender's Z-up scene automatically.
# Clips arrive as actions; play them from the Dope Sheet > Action Editor.
```

## 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)
var player := model.find_child("AnimationPlayer", true, false) as AnimationPlayer
player.play(player.get_animation_list()[0])
```

## 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/37749/v1/model.glb")) await gltf.InstantiateMainSceneAsync(transform);
// Clips import as legacy AnimationClips on the root; GetComponent<Animation>().Play() starts the first.
```
