977,700 polygons for a hay bale, and it is not excessive. A bale is a compressed mass of individual stalks, and the ends are where you see them all in cross-section: modelled straws are the only way that face reads correctly, and it is nearly always the face pointed at camera.
Two maps at 2048 x 2048 carry the straw colour variation and the twine. CheckMate Pro certification means real-world scale, which matters when bales are stacked in a barn or loaded on a trailer and the stack height has to make sense.
A square straw bale version shares the page for different farm work. Sold 88 times since 2015, into agricultural visualisation, rural exteriors, film set dressing and games.
Questions About This Model
How heavy is the Hay Bale mesh?
977,700 polygons and 1,149,835 vertices, built as polygonal quads/tris. What matters is not the number itself but how many copies of the object your scene has to carry at once.
Can the Hay Bale model be modified after purchase?
Yes, modification is covered by the license. Most buyers adjust materials or decimate the mesh for their engine; only redistribution of the source file is off-limits.
How much does the Hay Bale 3D model cost?
It is listed at $24 USD on TurboSquid. That is a one-off purchase under the Royalty Free license - there is no subscription and no per-project fee afterwards.
Does the Hay Bale model include materials and textures?
The product page states what ships with each format. Textures, when present, come inside the download rather than as a separate purchase. See the listing for the exact contents.
