# Basalt Column Cluster (Volcano and Lava Fields)

Cluster of seventeen hexagonal basalt columns to 2.8 m, the cooling joints of a thick flow standing where the softer rock around them has weathered away, with broken column stubs at the foot.

## About

Cluster of seventeen hexagonal basalt columns to 2.8 m, the cooling joints of a thick flow standing where the softer rock around them has weathered away, with broken column stubs at the foot. Free 3D model for volcanic terrain, lava field and natural disaster game scenes in Unity, Godot, Unreal, three.js and Blender. Overall 2.67 by 2.70 by 2.19 m (X by Y by Z). Metre units, +Y up, the front face toward +Z, resting on y=0 with the origin on the footprint. Static geometry; no rig, collision or navigation data. Molten rock and glow seams are emissive geometry, never lights: the pack embeds no lights, and lava flow, steam, smoke and fire are static because a fluid needs a shader or a particle system that a rigid node transform cannot carry. A generic volcanic landscape: no real volcano, park, observatory or equipment maker is named or depicted, and every sign, plate and marker face is blank.

## Use with three.js

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

const loader = new GLTFLoader()
loader.load('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/37456/v1/model.glb', (gltf) => {
  scene.add(gltf.scene)
})
```

## React Three Fiber

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

export function BasaltColumnClusterVolcanoAndLavaFields(props) {
  const { scene } = useGLTF('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/37456/v1/model.glb')
  return <primitive object={scene} {...props} />
}
useGLTF.preload('https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/37456/v1/model.glb')
```

## <model-viewer>

```html
<model-viewer src="https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/37456/v1/model.glb" alt="Basalt Column Cluster (Volcano and Lava Fields)" 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/37456/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/37456/v1/model.glb")) await gltf.InstantiateMainSceneAsync(transform);
```
