[RELEASED] PIDI - African Wildebeest + Mobile version (1k triangles)+Animations

IMPORTANT NOTICE :

Due to incompatibilities with the new SRPs and to avoid any confusions with our other product ( XFur Studio ), this package no longer contains a fur shader. Its price has been dropped accordingly to 35 USD.

ORIGINAL POST

Available now on the asset store

We are happy to announce our latest asset, a package including a highly detailed 3D model of an African Wildebeest in 4 different variations

The model is rigged and comes, for this first version, with 21 animations besides a simple script that adds randomized blinking to it.

Mobile version also included

The full contents of the package are :

  • High quality 3D model in 4 versions (13K, 6K and 1.3K triangles and mobile 1k version)
  • Fully rigged (38 bones and 29 for the mobile version)
  • Animated ( 21 animations for the first release )
  • Fully textured with 2K and 4K textures (diffuse, normal, fur maps)
  • Randomized blinking and additional blendhsapes management (via included script) for finer natural behaviors

These models have been designed specifically for use in video games, with special care put for a balance between optimization and quality :slight_smile:

Thanks, and we hope our assets help you make great games!

A new package containing this and another two high quality models with animations, rigging, 2K and 4K texturing, mobile versions, blinking actions and much more, has just been released. As a special promotion, if you buy the animals as a package you will get a 15% discount :slight_smile:

** You can see this new package here **

And a new package containing only the mobile version for anyone who doesn’t need the high poly one or has a tighter budget** is also available for just 15 dollars right here ** :slight_smile:

IMPORTANT NOTICE :

Due to requirements from the Asset Store regarding the new SRPs included with Unity 2018.1 and how we are expected to update our assets to support it before the end of the year as well as to avoid any confusion between the Fur shader included with this model and our dedicated fur solution, ** XFur Studio ,** the fur shader will be removed from this package with the next update coming in a few days. People who already bought the asset and have the fur shader included with it can keep it and keep using it with the model as they wish, but the fur shader included with this model will no longer receive any updates nor support.

Because the package will not include the shader in the next version, the next version will also come with a price drop from the current 45 dollars price to 35.

The main reasons to remove the fur shader are the following :

  • The fur shader included with this package is a functional but limited fur shader that has been deprecated in favor of XFur Studio. Both shaders are completely different in their features and methods, so supporting both is no longer feasible for me.
  • Unity is asking to all asset developers to start supporting the Lightweight SRP by the end of this year. Upgrading this shader, as it exists now, is not feasible. The lightweight version would not have the shader at all, which is another reason to remove it already to make the upgrade process that Unity will demand of us as easy as possible.
  • To avoid confusion between products. People buying this and other models from us should not expect the fur shader here included to be as feature rich or as efficient as XFur Studio. To avoid any customer thinking that by buying our models the fur asset they will receive is comparable to XFur Studio, I am deciding to remove the fur shader from this package completely.

But again, to make this as fair as possible for future users, the price will be reduced in 10 dollars.

If you have any questions, please comment down below and I will do my best to solve your doubts :slight_smile:

Do your beest.

New version has just been approved on the asset store with the new price and without the fur shader :slight_smile:
