Stargate (Movie Version) FBX Conversion Kit
By David Gian-Cursio
April 9, 2026

Description:

These are mesh files from my model of the movie version of the Stargate setpiece in the FBX file format.

How to Use:

SG_Movie is the main scene and object files for the Earth version of the stargate.

SG_Movie_InnerRing_Abydos is the rotating inner track for the Stargate inside the pyramid on the alien planet traveled to in the film. Use it to replace the inner ring in the main object to depict the Abydos Stargate

To animate the chevrons locking, translate the chevron object down 10.4 cm and inward 2.3 cm, and the chevron block object up 7 cm.

Most of the model is a metallic silver color, except the bands on the chevrons, and engraved symbols on the inner ring, which are a dark metallic gray. These surfaces are achieved procedurally in the Lightwave version of the model. Texture reference images of each PBR channel for both surfaces, as well as renders of the original model, are available at https://www.gian-cursio.net/2021/02/stargate-2020-film-showcase/
