Fish Market and Trawler Quay

Walk a working fish quay: a steel trawler alongside the wall, the crane and ice plant behind it, and an open fronted market hall of iced slabs, filleting benches and stacked boxes running the length of the landward side.

About

What is here

A 50 by 40 metre harbour, laid from the pack's own quay, water and market floor modules so the sea meets the wall rather than opening into a hole. The quay runs the full length of the plot with bollards, ladder heads, rope coils and lamp columns, and the water carries on past it to the north.

A steel stern trawler lies alongside in three hull sections with its wheelhouse, whaleback, mast gantry, net drum, trawl door rack and stern ramp, moored against fender runs with the gangway brow down. Her deck sits above quay level, so she is here as the thing you look at, not somewhere you walk: everything you can reach is on the quay.

The quay crane and the ice plant hopper and chute work the western end. Seven market hall bays run the landward side, six open fronted onto the quay and one with its shutter down, dressed with display slabs, crushed ice trays, blank price boards, hanging and bench scales, the lobster and crab tank, filleting benches, knife racks, gutting tables, offal bins, hose reels and the wash down point. Creels, net piles, bait barrels, buoy racks and a mending frame stack along the landward edge with the chandlery and harbour office fronts, the weighbridge plate and the fuel point. Barrows, a hand pallet truck, a forklift, pallet stacks and several hundred fish boxes clutter the rest, because a quay at landing time is not tidy.

What moves

The net drum spins on its pedestals. The quay crane slews and its hook lifts, and its cab door opens. The stern ramp, the deck hatch, the fish hold hatch, the crew cabin door, the wheelhouse door and the chill room door all open and close, and so does the market hall roller shutter. The forklift lifts its mast, opens its bonnet and rolls its wheels; the barrow and the hand pallet truck roll theirs. The hanging scale pan rocks, the hose reels turn, and the offal bin lid opens.

What does not move, and why

Nets, ropes, rigging, hoses, water and ice are static. Flexible material and fluid need a joint for every element or a shader, and neither is reachable with the one rigid node transform this library animates with, so they are modelled in a pose and left there.

There are no people and no rigged creatures anywhere in the pack: nothing here is skinned. The fish on the slabs and in the trays are display props laid on ice, not animals.

Every price board, hull name board, registration panel and crate stencil is blank on purpose. Nothing in this harbour names a real port, vessel, merchant or maker.

Every piece here is a published model from the pack, placed by hand. Walk with the keys or touch, and approach a piece to see it move if it has animation. Colliders, navigation and gameplay are yours to add.

Points of interest

The landward end
Creels, net piles and a mending frame stack where the quay runs out, with the fuel point and the buoy rack behind them. The weighbridge plate is set flush into the deck by the office.

Alongside
The trawler lies against the fenders on the quay edge, bow to the east. Bollards, rope coils and a ladder head run the whole length of the wall, and the gangway brow lands just forward of the wheelhouse.
Hull fender run (Fish Market and Trawler Quay)
The landing
Boxes come off the deck and go straight down the quay in barrows and on pallets. The net drum turns on its pedestals aft, the stern ramp lifts, and the deck and fish hold hatches open.

Crane and ice
The quay crane slews and its hook lifts. The ice plant hopper stands behind it with the chute down onto the quay, where trays of crushed ice are filled for the slabs.

The market front
Seven bays, open fronted onto the quay, one with its shutter down. Slabs of iced fish face the visitor with a blank price board at each, a hanging scale over two of them and the lobster and crab tank at the front.

Filleting and gutting
Benches, knife racks and bench scales run the back of the hall, with gutting tables, offal bins on castors, hose reels and the wash down point. The floor is channel drained the whole way.

Common questions

How do I use Fish Market and Trawler Quay with my AI development tools?

Press "Copy for AI agent" above and paste the prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT or any other coding assistant. The prompt carries the direct CDN URL, the real-world size, the licence and the loading notes, so the assistant can fetch the scene and place it in your project without you writing the loader yourself. For a permanent connection, add the 3DAssets.dev MCP server to your tool with one command (for Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http 3dassets https://3dassets.dev/mcp) and the assistant can then search the whole catalogue, fetch files and read the usage snippets on its own.

How do I get started?

Walk the scene here with the keys or touch to see how the pack fits together. To build it yourself, download the pack with the button, then copy the "Copy for AI agent" prompt: it links the layout JSON, which lists every placement with its position, rotation and CDN URL, so an assistant connected to the MCP server can rebuild the scene in your engine and change it to order.

MCP server setup

Which game engines and tools can I use Fish Market and Trawler Quay with?

Anything that reads glTF, which today means all of the major ones: three.js and React Three Fiber on the web, Godot 4, Unity, Unreal Engine 5, Blender and the model-viewer web component. Every model in the scene is a self-contained binary glTF (.glb) with textures embedded, so each is one file to import and no plugin, converter or decoder to install first.

How do I import this scene into Unity, Godot, Unreal or Blender?

Unity: install the glTFast package (com.unity.cloud.gltfast) from the Package Manager, drop the .glb into Assets and drag the prefab in, or load it at runtime from the CDN URL. Godot 4: copy the file into the project folder and the editor imports it as a scene you can instantiate. Unreal Engine 5: File > Import with the built-in glTF importer, which converts the axes for you. Blender: File > Import > glTF 2.0. Units are metres with +Y up in the file, and every importer above handles the conversion to its own axes automatically.

Can I use Fish Market and Trawler Quay in a commercial game, and do I need to credit anyone?

Yes to commercial use and no to credit. Every scene on 3DAssets.dev is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain: use it in a paid game, an app, a film or a client project, modify it, redistribute it, and put nothing in the credits. A link back is welcome but it is entirely your choice.

CC0 licence text

Can I load it from the CDN instead of downloading it?

Yes. The pack behind it has a permanent URL on cdn.3dassets.dev that is CORS-enabled and never changes content, so you can pass it straight to GLTFLoader, glTFast or model-viewer in production and cache it as hard as you like. Downloading is only needed for engines that import from disk.

Is the demo itself a file I can download?

No, and it does not need to be. A demo is a layout of the pack's published models composed in your browser from the CDN, so there is no extra file to fetch. Download the pack for the models, and take the layout JSON linked above for the placements: together they are the whole scene, and an AI agent can rebuild it from those two links.

Can I change the scene, or add gameplay to it?

Yes. The layout is plain data in metres, so move, add or remove placements freely in your own engine. Colliders, navigation and gameplay are yours to add: the demo shows what the pack looks like assembled, and your game decides how it plays.

Harbour water module, 8 m (Fish Market and Trawler Quay)

An 8 m square of harbour water with a faint swell worked into its surface, for laying the basin around a berth. Ported on all four edges, so the water tiles out to meet the quay rather than leaving a hole in the ground.
