Hi all

Announcing the availability of aniBro as of today. He is the first in a series of characters I am having built to act as my company mascots. Once the clan is complete, these models will not be made available for sale again so this truly is a limited time offer. Get it while you can :smile:

Anyways, I have seen some interesting marketing strategies of late and figured iā€™d try my hand at one also so her it is: Each clan member you buy entitles you to a compounded 25% discount on the next character. So get aniBro now and get aniMom at 75% which entitles you to aniDad at half price, aniSis at 25% and aniFamilyPet ( :stuck_out_tongue: ) for free!

  • 5900 triangles
  • 3230 vertices
  • MB, FBX, OBJ and DAE formats
  • Diffuse, Normal and Specular maps included
  • Included motions for Walk, Run, Idle and Jump using model@anim format
  • Scaled to be imported into Unity on 1:1 basis
  • Includes 2 props: Mask and Helmet

Well, thatā€™s it. did I miss anything?

Thanks for looking.

Whats Ninja about him?

3

When you see him in action, youā€™ll see. Like I said, he is part of a group that I am trying to each give a unique look about themselves. If the term ninja is an issue just let me know and I can remove it from future descriptions. Just call him ā€œMember of stylised masked martial arts fighting group of peopleā€ :stuck_out_tongue:

But, in case you absolutely MUST know the back story for this particular character, the aniClan as been the village protectors for generations, protecting the village against only the most serious of threats. Kind of mythical to some in that they donā€™t believe the aniClan exists. aniBro is still in training and does not yet qualify to wear the aniClan uniform. This is the clothes he wears when he sneaks out to moonlight as a masked village guardian. Not that it is very important for whatever YOU are going to be using him for, but that is the the back story on my end.

If you mean ā€œWhatā€™s ninja about him if he doesnā€™t wear a black catsuit and the traditional ninja mask?ā€ then clearly you are not a Naruto fan :stuck_out_tongue: And if that is the case, you are REALY not going to like his younger sisterā€™s look :stuck_out_tongue: The older sister, sure, but not the younger oneā€¦ Just to give you an idea, aniBro uses hand to hand combat and shuriken, aniDad uses a sword, aniMom uses a bo staff, aniGirl uses a bow and arrow and aniSis, being the secret savant in the family but being a little girl, she uses a giant, motorised spinning top and yo-yoā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue:

Of course, with the animations being interchangeable between them you could essentially make all characters use all weapons, but as my mascots, these are their designated rolesā€¦

Iā€™m indeed no Naruto fan, (i prefer Berserk, Cowboy bebop, Samurai Champloo, etcā€¦)
The helmet somewhat looking like a samurai helmet kinda threw me off i guess.

The model looks good, but you could cut down on allot of polygons mostly in the hands and feet.

Appreciate the feedback from one Naruto fan to another.

B.T.W.:
I always believed that Samurai were Japanese warriors and ninja were Chinese assassins. I used to get so mad when I saw movies with Japanese ninja. I guess giving my ninja a Samurai helmet is a form of therapy for me :stuck_out_tongue: Luckily the thing with props is that they can be swopped out for others, hint hintā€¦ wink wink.
