Racecourse and Parade Ring

Walk a race day at ground level: the finishing straight and its rail, the parade ring, the weighing room and saddling boxes, the betting and catering line, the winner's enclosure and the groundcare yard behind the stands.

About

A whole race day laid out as one place, on a plot 78 by 66 metres, from the 66 published models in this pack.

You spawn at the running rail on the finishing straight, looking along it. The winning post is ahead of you with the photo finish mirror box set across the course behind it, the furlong marker and the distance poles run back down the rail, and the grandstand is on your left: three tiers, low and high, under a roof canopy with five private box fronts along the top.

The rail opens partway along for the horse walk, so you can step onto the turf. Out there are the start, with a six bay and a four bay stalls unit and the handlers platform, the tape barrier, and the obstacles: a hurdle, a chase fence with its marker wings, the open ditch, which is sunk 0.35 m so its trench sits below the going, and the water jump edge. The course is mown in stripes across the running direction, which is how a real one is cut, and a bend tile turns away at the west end.

Behind the rail, the betting and catering line runs between the crowd and the stands: seven pitch boards on their joint stools under umbrellas, the tote hut, two kiosk fronts and the results board. West of it are the parade ring, a ten sided rail with a hinged gate, a lawn and a walkway, and the number cloth rack. Beyond the ring are the weighing room front, the scales and trestle, the jockeys benches, tack trunks, saddle and rug racks, and the saddling box run. The winner's enclosure and its presentation dais sit between the ring and the stands, and the groundcare yard is behind the stands with the car park, the horsebox park and the ambulance standing by the track.

No animals

There are no horses here, and that is the first thing you will notice. This pack contains none, and the catalogue has no skinned meshes at all, so the saddle racks, the rug racks and the horse walk stand empty and the horsebox and horse ambulance are closed bodies. If you need animals, look for the catalogue's equestrian yard pack.

Every number cloth, pitch board, tote fascia, results board, screen and vehicle side in this pack is blank. Nothing carries a name, a number or a figure.

What moves

Both stalls units swing their front gates open together, the tape start barrier drops, the parade ring gate opens, and so do the weighing room, tote hut and groundsman hut doors. The tack trunk lids lift, the harrow lifts, and the tractor, water bowser, rail trolley and ground staff barrow roll their wheels. Clips play as you come within a few metres.

What does not move, and why

The rail tape, the birch on the chase fence and the hurdle, the water in the jump, the flags and the screen faces are all static. Flexible material, fluid and a display each need a joint per element or a shader, and none of that is reachable with the rigid node transforms this catalogue uses, so the pack models them in their resting state rather than faking the motion.

The walk has no vertical movement, so the grandstand terracing is a face you look at rather than something to climb. Everything worth reaching is at ground level.

The whole pack is placed, so the download is larger than a demo that shows a selection. That is the trade for walking the complete course furniture in one scene.

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 winning post
The post stands just inside the running rail, with the mirror box across the course behind it so a judge can read the line from one fixed angle. The furlong marker and the distance poles run back down the straight from here.

The crossing and the horse walk
The rail opens here for the walk down from the parade ring. Step through onto the turf to reach the start, the tape barrier, the hurdle, the chase fence and the open ditch, which is sunk so its trench sits below the going.
Horse Walk Tunnel Mouth (Racecourse and Parade Ring)
The start
A six bay and a four bay stalls unit with the handlers platform between them. Walk up and the front gates swing open together. The tape barrier back along the rail drops the same way.
Starting Stalls Six Bay (Racecourse and Parade Ring)
Parade ring
A ten sided rail with one hinged gate, a lawn inside and a walkway out to the enclosures. The number cloth rack by the gate holds blank cloths. The ring stands empty: this pack carries no animals and the catalogue has no skinned meshes.
Parade Ring Gate (Racecourse and Parade Ring)
Weighing room and saddling boxes
The weighing room front opens, with the scales and trestle, the jockeys bench and a tack trunk whose lid lifts. The saddling box run is behind, with saddle racks and rug racks standing empty along its front.

Betting and catering
Seven pitch boards and their joint stools under umbrellas, the tote hut with an opening door, two kiosk fronts and the results board. Every board, fascia and screen in this pack is blank, so nothing here carries figures.
Bookmakers' Pitch Board (Racecourse and Parade Ring)
Winner’s enclosure
A square of surround rails round the presentation dais, set between the parade ring and the stands so the walk back from the straight passes through it.
Presentation Dais (Racecourse and Parade Ring)
Groundcare yard
Behind the stands: the tractor with its harrow, the water bowser, the rail trolley and the barrow all roll, the harrow lifts, and the groundsman hut door opens. Spare rail sections and a divot fork rack are stacked alongside.

Common questions

How do I use Racecourse and Parade Ring 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 Racecourse and Parade Ring 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 Racecourse and Parade Ring 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.
