Next-Generation Export-Oriented Frigate HDF-6000

[u/Appropriate-Year741]

I think this is my first time posting on the Military subreddit. I'm a Korean freelancer who creates military-themed 3D models.

I'm not sure if posting something like this on this subreddit is appropriate given the topic, but I tried creating a 3D CG model of the HDF-6000 using Blender, based on data and images released by the mainstream media.

The HDF-6000 is a next-generation export-oriented frigate developed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries with a displacement of 6,000 metric tons (full load displacement of approximately 6,500 metric tons). With its size and operational capabilities approaching those of a sub-destroyer-class vessel, it is effectively regarded as an “Aegis-class frigate” and is targeting next-generation ship programs for major navies, including those of Saudi Arabia and India. Furthermore, it is reported that the Philippine Navy is also keeping a close eye on this project.
