Underground mine tunnel

Walk a 50 metre mine drift built from the Underground Mine and Shaft Works pack: steel-arch, timbered and shotcrete sections, two widened chambers, a cross junction with two working faces, a loco and ore carts on track, a loader, a bolting rig and a refuge chamber.

About

One drift from 24 of the pack's 63 models, in the hall preset with dark walls and dusk light; the drift modules bring their own walls and roof.

You start at the mouth of the drift and walk north up the track. Timbered sections lead to a widened chamber with the ore pass raise collar, then the cross junction with the loader in the west branch, the bolting rig in the east and a working face at the end of each. The battery loco and its ore carts stand on the track beyond, then the second chamber with the refuge chamber, the personnel carrier and the power box under steel arch sections, and the ventilation airlock door closes the drift.

This pack ships animation clips: the loco, the carts, the loader, the bolting rig and the airlock door play as you come within three metres and rewind when you leave.

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

Ore pass chamber
A widened drift chamber with the ore pass raise collar, a survey station and the drill steel rack. Drift sections are 4 m modules with their own walls and roof; the demo's hall is only the shell around them.

Cross junction
The drift cross junction with branches to two dead-end working faces. Narrow gauge track panels run the length of the main drift under ventilation duct, cable tray and compressed air runs.

Loader
The load-haul-dump loader in the west branch. It has clips: the bucket and the cab play as you approach.

Bolting rig
The roof bolting rig in the east branch, with the explosives day box and a warning sign back in the main drift.

The train
The battery haulage locomotive with two side-tipping ore carts and an end-tipping cart; the wheels and the tipping bodies have clips.

Refuge chamber
The underground refuge chamber in the second widened chamber, then the personnel carrier, the power distribution box and the ventilation airlock door at the far end, which opens as you approach.

Common questions

How do I use Underground mine tunnel 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 Underground mine tunnel 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 Underground mine tunnel 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.
