A detailed classic steel wheelchair with realistic wear – fully reworked in 2026.

The original model from 2018 has been completely overhauled: cleaned-up geometry, new UV layout, new PBR textures created in Substance 3D Painter and an improved Blender setup.

Features

- Realistic PBR materials: brushed aluminum side panels, chrome-plated tubes, artificial leather seat and backrest, rubber tires

- Subtle wear: edge scratches, dirt and fingerprints

- Blender: drive the wheelchair forward and all wheels roll correctly – driver-based, calculated from the real wheel radius

- Front caster forks swivel around their vertical axis only (Limit Rotation constraints)

- Clean, non-overlapping UVs

- Real-world scale
