Wilson SilverStar Livestock Semitrailer

This semitrailer model is a meticulously crafted replica of the Wilson Silverstar Livestock trailer, showcasing an exceptional level of detail both inside and out; it includes accurately rendered interior features such as partitions, gates, and flooring, as well as intricate exterior elements like realistic textures, logos, and lighting fixtures. Every aspect of the trailer has been meticulously recreated to capture the essence and functionality of the real-life counterpart, ensuring a truly immersive and authentic visual representation. This level of detail enhances the model's realism and underscores the dedication and craftsmanship applied to its creation.

The main idea of this model was to recreate the perfect replica of the real-life version, texture it, create materials, and make necessary changes to be used as a game asset for the American Truck Simulator Game. The first challenge was to gather the most possible references on the internet. This model is extremely rare where I was living at the time, so seeing one in real life was not an option. However, there were many available pictures on the internet since the real semitrailer can be manufactured with different variations, making it hard to understand its structure, especially the interior parts like gates, level variations, and hole patterns. I had to consider everything. To save a variety of references, I used the program PureRef. For 3D modelling, I chose to use Blender since I was more familiar with this specific software.
