Vertibird

3D ModelNoAI

Made in 2022

This Vertibird was heavily inspired by the 2D Vertibird sprite from Fallout 2. The idea was to fully recreate the 2D Vertibird as a 3D model, from scratch, while changing parts of the design to allow it to work better as an actual aircraft.

In practice, that mostly meant designing retractable landing gears for it, and making some parts more aerodynamic. Also, the wings and rotors foldable, in order to minimize the space it takes up when parked.

I also made other miscellaneous changes, such as adding rocket pods and miniguns. Additionally, in this 3D version, the cargo pod is fully modular. The pod can be removed, replaced or substituted with oversized cargo, such as a cargo container or an armored vehicle.

I’ve ported this model to Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas, and it has been implemented in quest mod projects for both games. It was also ported to Arma 3 as a flyable aircraft.
