Fort Boyard is a stone oval standing alone in open water, built to hold cannon and famous now for something else entirely. Its shape is unmistakable: sheer curved walls rising straight out of the sea, a single arched entrance, and an open courtyard inside ringed by galleries. The model carries the wall taper, the gallery arches and the courtyard that make the fort legible from the air and from the waterline.
The mesh is 250,451 polygons and 270,590 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, with the density concentrated in the stonework and the arch profiles - the parts a camera circling the fort actually reads.
At $149 it suits television production and broadcast graphics, tourism and heritage material, architectural and historical visualization, documentary work and games. On sale since 2023.
Questions About This Model
Can the Fort Boyard model be used in a commercial project?
Commercial use is included. The Royalty Free license allows the model in paid client work, broadcast, published games and print; only redistributing the model file itself is excluded.
What is the Fort Boyard model typically used for?
It is cataloged for architectural visualization, film & TV VFX and product rendering - the sort of work where the object needs to look right on camera but is not the subject of the shot.
How heavy is the Fort Boyard mesh?
250,451 polygons and 270,590 vertices, built as polygonal quads/tris. Whether that counts as light or heavy depends on the target platform, the complexity of the scene and how many instances it carries.
How clean is the geometry on the Fort Boyard model?
Geometry is modelled at true scale with a tidy edge flow, and the scene is split into named objects so partial reuse and material swaps stay simple.
