Available now on the asset store for 35 USD

We are happy to announce our latest asset, a package including a highly detailed 3D model of an American Bison in 4 different variations, 2 for mobile

The model is rigged and comes with 30 animations besides a simple script that adds randomized blinking to it.

The full contents of the package are :

  • High quality 3D model in 3 versions ( 9.7K, 4.8K and 1K triangles)
  • Fully rigged (38 bones)
  • Animated ( 30 animations for the first release )
  • Fully textured with 2K textures (diffuse, normal, smoothness)
  • 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. We hope to get your comments and feedback for this asset.

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

The model has just been approved on the asset store. You can get it here

Small update is now available.
The package now includes a better mobile version, with less bones than before for a better performance.
New animations and coloring patterns coming soon

A new animals 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:

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:

We are updating this version of our American Bison model to include full support for XFur Studio 2 (asset sold separately), to push the quality and realism of the model to the next level.

This update is in the works but it should be available around mid April :slight_smile:

Have a great week!
