Fly Rod Combo
The rod and reel combo here are based on a Sage 3/4 lightweight rod and an Orvis Battenkill reel. Modeled at a medium poly level to ensure it would look good in VR up close and still animate and perform well. The line is animatable so that as it runs out the texture will change into backing line once the fly line has run its course.
15,845 total faces; modeled in Maya; textured with Substance Designer and Substance Painter.
Since the model is long and narrow navigating the Sketchfab viewer is easiest in First Person control mode - in viewer settings.
The Adams Dry Fly, created by Leonard Halladay in 1922, is considered to be one of the most traditional and effective of all fly patterns used for trout. It is an imitation of and adult mayfly, caddis or midge .
