old soviet bus stop

Last crawled date: 1 year, 10 months ago

the bus stop serves a simple purpose — to indicate where the bus stops and to provide convenience and at least some shelter from the weather for waiting passengers. it was possible to assume that in the soviet union there would be a certain standard project for this public building-simple, functional and cheap in mass production. but, in many cases, this is not the case, and a lot of time, effort and imagination is spent on bus stops. the variety of shapes and designs is limitless-concrete blocks, domes, columns, towers, buildings in the form of triangles and arches, some even have the shape of a bird, a yurt or a hat. at those stops that were not so bold in architecture, their creators attracted attention by decorating the buildings with frescoes and mosaic panels. for local sculptors, architects and builders, they were an opportunity to test their creative potential. the motives for the design of stops differed depending on the region and reflected the local culture, history or represented the branches of the national economy. unfortunately, after the collapse of the soviet union, most of the bus stops became very dilapidated. they say that some local societies have recognized bus stops as architectural monuments worthy of preservation. they are repaired and painted. stops can be found in the most unexpected places-sometimes in the middle of the desert or in the steppe, sometimes out of sight from the nearest settlement. they will make us wonder and smile. technical information: name: bus_stop_1 units: meters dimension: 7 x 5 x 4.5 formats: 3ds max 2014, obj, fbx textures map size 4096x4096: basecolor diffuse glossiness ior metallic normal reflection roughness no special plugins are required to open the scene. the model does not include the backgrounds or scenes used in the preview images.
