This is a stylized 3D interpretation of the Vought F4U Corsair, a historic American fighter aircraft that served during World War II and the Korean War. Known for its distinctive gull wings and carrier-based folding wing design, the Corsair was a technological icon of its era.

My version puts a toonish twist on the classic plane, while retaining its mechanical accuracy. Created in ZBrush and textured in Substance Painter, the model includes a fully rigged interior cockpit with animated controls, folding wings, and working landing gear.

Rigging the Corsair’s mechanical systems—especially the folding wings and retractable gear—was one of the key technical challenges, requiring precise articulation and custom control logic. The result is a polished asset suitable for stylised games, animation, or educational simulations.
