[VR Chat/Blender/UE] Spinning Metallic Pinwheel - Animated

This model is a traditional Japanese toy, the "pinwheel."
It spins rapidly in VRChat and has an impactful metallic texture.
Feel free to have it held by your character or display multiple in a scene—I'd be happy if you enjoy it in various ways.

Features

Created using Blender 4.3.2, and tested in Unreal Engine 5.5.1, Unity, and VRChat.
