Earthmover builds construction machines inside Blender: crawler, mini and wheeled excavators, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, skid steers and compact track loaders, bulldozers, road rollers, rigid and articulated dump trucks, site dumpers and motor graders. Pick one of 54 designs modeled on the machines working on real sites, from a 1 t micro digger to a 90 t mining excavator, then change anything and watch it rebuild live.

Every machine comes rigged. Booms, sticks, buckets, loader arms, blades, rippers, stabilizers, dump bodies and the articulation joint each have one slider, and the hydraulic cylinders follow every pose: barrels and rods slide in and out, the bucket linkage folds like the real four-bar, and telescopic hoists extend in stages. Pick a pose (Travel, Dig, Reach, Dump, Rest) with one click, or keyframe the sliders to animate a full dig cycle.

Tools and attachments include dig, trench, ditch and rock buckets, a hydraulic breaker, a sorting grapple, a ripper tooth and crusher jaws; loaders take general, rock, high volume and 4-in-1 buckets or pallet forks. Dozers get straight, semi-U, U and angle blades with single or multi shank rippers.

A real hydraulic rig
Boom, stick and bucket each have one slider. The cylinders slide and the bucket linkage folds with every pose, so a full dig cycle is a few keyframes.

54 machines to start from
Crawler, mini and wheeled excavators, backhoes, wheel and track loaders, dozers, rollers, dump trucks and graders. Pick one and change anything.

Loaders lift and dump
Z-bar and parallel loader arms raise, roll back and dump with their linkage and cylinders following.

Liveries and wear
Nine liveries or your own colors, from showroom clean to working, worn or abandoned: chipped edges, mud, dust and rust.

Finish

Choose a livery (construction yellow, earthmover orange, lime, red, blue, white, green, gunmetal, sand or your own colors) and a condition from showroom clean to working, worn or abandoned: chipped edges, caked mud rising from the ground, dust and rust, all with PBR materials that also export to game engines.
