Asset Breakdown

Here is a simple explanation of what makes this model special and how it is designed:

  1. The Overall Concept This asset is a rare, early 20th-century traffic device known as a semaphore signal. It looks like a cross between a street light and a railroad crossing sign, making it perfect for historical city scenes or steampunk environments.

  2. Mechanical X Blades The top section features two crossed rectangular blades. The yellow blade reads CAUTION and the red blade reads STOP. The letters are designed to look like they are filled with small glass marbles (cat's eye reflectors) to catch headlight beams at night.

  3. Triple Warning Lights Below the blades, there is a horizontal metal bar holding three circular lights. The center light has a clear lens, while the two outer lights have red lenses. In a game, these could be animated to flash in a specific pattern to warn drivers.

  4. Bell-Shaped Base The yellow metal pole widens at the bottom into a heavy, bell-shaped pedestal. This sturdy cast-iron base is bolted to the ground, giving the structure a low center of gravity and a distinctively antique silhouette.

  5. Industrial Details The entire object is painted a bright industrial yellow. The construction is rugged, with visible bolts, flanges, and heavy casings that highlight the mechanical nature of technology from the 1920s or 30s.

Technical Notes

Files Included: FBX, GLB, OBJ, STL, ZIP (Textures). Quick Tip: The text on the blades mimics Reflector Marbles. To achieve this look, apply a high Roughness map to the blade paint but a high Glossiness or Metallic value specifically to the white dots inside the letters so they sparkle.
