introducing QUB model pack [available in asset store]

Hey guys,
im posting this topic on behalf of outburners.com, great friends and a true inspiration for me.

This is a model pack containing 6 low-poly containers (basically cubes), each has a 500 poly (triangles, not quads) and a 100 poly version.
They drew the skins to be used without any lighting, and actually the containers look great in a brightly lit environment. I experimented with a little bit of vertex lighting to fit them even better with the overall color of the level.
The modelers wanted to keep it simple and publish only the diffuse map, but i asked them to add some simple normal and spec maps to broaden the target group.

The most impressive part for me (yes i know i’m close to them) is the design itself, it can remind you a little bit of Mirrors Edge or Mass Effect, but it has its own distinctive ‘minimal’ style, actually to me is much closer to 2001.
I remember when i visited their workplace, while drawing the sketches, the guys were having a heated discussion about all the hidden history from the golden age of space exploration… skeptics versus believers, both impressively well informed :smile:

Anyway, check the assets out, even if you don’t wanna buy them, see the site, the stories, demo, videos for inspiration (they have the vector logos and more stuff there).

Thanks for looking!

EDIT:
PS: there is a playable demo on the website. If the unity player doesn’t work click here and try again!

The video, kinda like Cubrick’s Space Odyssey.

Thanks for the excellent recommendation, clandestine. This is Rosita from the Outburners team.

As the winter is holding us from going 100% on our big project, 3D visualization of historical monuments and architectural objects, we decided to have fun and create some 3d art packs for our other passion: games.

Our idea was not to make generic asset collections, but rather sets have a unique design style, with a vision and a story behind.
We created them with a single diffuse texture (with and without logos), optimized for best performance. We also included versions with smoothing groups and normal, ambient occlusion and specular maps.

With this level of flexibility the 6 containers can be easily incorporated in different styles of projects, while we admit our passion for the space exploration /sci-fi genre.

The QUB pack is the first in this new series, and we’ll be glad to hear the community’s opinions about it!

Two ways to get QUB pack: unity asset store, or directly from our site. The benefit in the first option: you see what you get, and you get it instantly. Second option: you get bonus content for free: vector logotypes of all 6 containers to play around and use in your own design projects; and 3 more containers in a completely different style.

As a special thank you to those who purchase our QUB pack, we have created real-life papercraft of the 6 containers. The details are here.

Thanks for reading!

this is a shameless bump…er to communicate that I’m now officially working at outburners and i have a new desk

The remote relevance to this topic is that I’ve shipped today 3 model (maquette) QUBs* to fellow designers that got the pak!

    • you can see them on the right, and a 3D postcard in front of the monitor.

Thanks guys.
