Train Engine and Wheels Low-Poly Game Asset

This is a heavily stylized low-poly 3D model of a train engine and accompanying wheels for a whimsical town building and decorating video game for children. It is intended to be placed by the player for use as an interactive environmental asset that the player character can use for travel. There are two different styles of train available: a red and gold engine with golden wheels, and a dark blue and gold engine with black and gold wheels. The wheels were made as separate assets to make animation easier. Both assets were originally modeled in 3DS Max. The textures for the models are 2048x2048 and were hand-painted in Mudbox and touched up in Photoshop. The train engine itself is 722 polys, 1,418 tris, 1,431 edges, and 701 verts. The wheels are each 294 polys, 580 tris, 584 edges, and 272 verts. When built together, the train and accompanying wheels are a total of 3,662 polys, 7,218 tris, 7,253 edges, and 3,421 verts.
