I am excited to share my project — a high-quality, game-ready Industrial Hydraulic Engine Crane created in Blender.  
Technical Details:

- Modeling: Developed in Blender with a focus on efficiency. I utilized custom transform orientations and coordinates to manage the Mirror modifier for repetitive components, ensuring a perfectly symmetrical and streamlined workflow.
- UV Mapping: The model features a professional UV layout with overlapping islands for symmetrical parts to maximize texel density. Everything is packed into a single UV atlas with consistent texel density (correct scale).
- Baking: I used a high-to-low poly workflow to bake clean bevels into the Normal Map, giving the model a high-fidelity look while maintaining a low polycount.
- Texturing: Textured in Substance Painter to achieve a realistic, industrial aesthetic.
- Optimization: The final asset is fully optimized for game engines, using a single PBR material (Albedo, Normal, Roughness, Metallic, AO).
