I'm a veteran Maya user. But for my next project I need to know Blender. So this is the first model I made in Blender. I don't know Blender as good as I know Maya of course. So if you ask me what is better, I would say Maya. UV unwrapping is a pain in Blender. Everything about normals is very hard to track. Pivots and snapping is just not as great as in Maya. Any day of the week I would prefer Maya over Blender. That said, I will do a lot more work in Blender for a while. Maybe I'll think different when I understand Blender better. Or maybe not. What I do think, is that Blender is a great tool to start your 3D in.

I made a high(er) polygon version and a super low poly version. I exported them both and did my bakes in Substance (I know I could also have done that in Blender). I textured everything (only 2 UDIMS), what was lots of fun as usual.

Be course Blender is free, and this little project was just for me to learn the software. Will this model also be free for you all! I hope you enjoy it.

Low Poly CVPI P71 I modelled in Blender for a L4D2 game mod project. Textures were made in Substance Painter, this is the Sheriff version.

Addon: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776474002

The CVPI is loosely modelled off the 2001 Ford Crown Victoria. The lightbar is based off the Federal Signal Streethawk. Proportions are not 100% correct since I literally only have reference images to work with.

# **About the F-117 Nighthawk**
# 
*The World’s First Operational Stealth Aircraft
*
The F-117 Nighthawk was developed in response to the urgent national need for a jet fighter that could operate completely undetected by the enemy. In true Skunk Works fashion, it was developed rapidly and in complete secrecy.

Though far from the traditional, sleek aircraft designs preferred by Skunk Works founder Kelly Johnson, the F-117’s unique design enabled it to reflect radar waves. With its angular panels bolstered by an external coating of radar-absorbent material, the aircraft was nearly invisible to radar.

In the summer of 1975, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) held a “pole-off” competition. Skunk Work’s design demonstrated unmatched low observability and won Lockheed Martin Skunk Works the contract for Have Blue, the stealth demonstrator that led to the F-117 Nighthawk.

Object: The Lawler Sphinx Monument
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Date Erected: 1850
Commissioner: Davis B. Lawler

Historical Significance:
Erected to honor Matthew Lawler (former Mayor of Philadelphia) and his wife Ann, this Egyptian Revival sphinx caused massive controversy. The cemetery's Christian directors initially objected to the "pagan" iconography. It was eventually permitted and became one of Spring Grove's most famous monuments.

**Preservation Status (Critical)**
While appearing resolute from a distance, this model documents severe, rapid structural failure. The stone survived its first 150 years well, but recent freeze-thaw cycles have devastated it. Massive mechanical cracks splitting the torso have been patched with modern sealants that are already failing. Furthermore, the extensive historical inscriptions on the base are actively sugaring and nearly impossible to read. This "Digital Twin" preserves the text and geometry before the next fracture.

Lawler Sphinx: Decay of Egyptian Revival (1850)

A thawb, also known as a dishdashah or a kandura in other varieties of Arabic, is a garment traditionally worn by men in the Arabian Peninsula. It is a long-sleeved, ankle-length robe that has regional variations in name and style.

الدشداشة هي ثوب رجالي طويل وواسع بأكمام طويلة، يعد الزي التقليدي الشائع في دول شبه الجزيرة العربية والعراق، ويشبه الجلباب. تسمى أيضاً "الثوب" أو "الكندورة"، وتصنع غالباً من القطن أو البوليستر، وتتميز بوجود ياقة وجيوب، وتُلبس كزي يومي أو رسمي. أصل الكلمة فارسي، مشتق من "دشت" وتعني لباس السفر.

Object: The Collins Monument
Location: Ohio River Valley

**Historical Significance:**
This towering 19th-century pedestal, bearing the family name "COLLINS," is a classic example of Victorian-era funerary architecture. Monuments of this scale and expense were almost exclusively designed to serve as a base for a large crowning statue, such as a draped urn, an angel, or a symbolic figure.

**Preservation Status & The Lost Statue:**
This "Digital Twin" documents a severe loss of historical context. While the heavy limestone pedestal has survived, the crowning artwork has been completely sheared off by kinetic impact or decades of freeze-thaw fracturing. Only jagged, unidentifiable stone anchors remain on the top plinth. Without early photographic records, the original identity of the statue is a permanent mystery. This archive preserves the surviving family name and architectural geometry before the remaining stone succumbs to advanced biological weathering.
