I bought the model LION and it's really a great job.
Thank you

 

@lebid : thanks for your support. Glad you appreciate this creation.

 

Hi - I purchased your "ARANEAE TENEBRAE" model previously to play around with. Your models and animations are really great.
One issue I had though was all the extra "stuff" that you included - scripts, props, etc. I know you're doing that to try to add value, but when I purchase models I really want them to be extremely simple - just a model and it's animations so I can immediately start applying my own scripts etc. I had a pretty hard time trying to get rid of some of the stuff you'd added (e.g. it was messing up the transform and stuff because you were manipulating it with scripts).
I'm thinking about buying a few more of your models - I'd really love it though if you had alternate packages that are just clean models and animations without any other stuff in there.

 

Sorry - current forum deletes my line feeds half the time for some reason.

 

Thanks for your support and interest.

This old model includes some extra stuff indeed. Same for the mountain dragon full pack if I remember well. Would need to dig into that to know exactly which ones are like that. No more than one or two I guess.

 

I'll have another go at the spider and see what I can make of it. Might grab another model or two tonight and do some more testing. Thanks!

 

Glad to hear that.

 

Just to let you guys know that finally PROTOFACTOR 's ASSETS are all at 50% OFF on the ASSET STORE as well.

 

Thank you all for your support so far.

Here is a link to check the discounted prices on the asset store :

PROTOFACTOR SALE ON THE ASSET STORE

 

Hi,

I just started to look into Unity to build a simple topdown rpg for ipad. Your models would fit perfectly for the game, but I have a few questions before I can order:

1. Are these models any good for a mobile game?

2. If not, can they be adjusted/downscaled?

3. I can't see "HEROIC FANTASY CREATURES FULL" on the Asset store. Is it there? Or should I better buy from your website? What's the difference?

Thanks!

 

Hi there and thanks for your interest in PROTOFACTOR creations. It's not recommended to use the creatures in a mobile game : tri count is way to high ( creatures are usually between 4000 to 12000 tris ), too many bones as well ( from around 50 to 110 ). the only creatures that would be suitable would be the giant viper, the giant rat and maybe the wolf.

Most of the animals created are pretty low poly and could be used on mobile platforms by dowscaling the textures ( currently they are 2048*2048 ) to at much 1024*1024 and avoiding the use of normal maps. Most of the animals are around 1800 tris ( from 860 to 2500 ) except the lion with hair and crocodile which are around 4200 tris. Rigg for the animals usually never exceed 34 bones ( for those that have their tail animated ).

Here it's regarding mobile devices like tegra 2 tablet and I PAd2 , I phone 4. Never tried the recent ones ( I PAD 4, I phone 5 etc ... ) SO maybe with the latest hardware some creatures would fit ...

As for the HEROIC FANTASY CREATURES FULL PACK, indeed it's not available on the Asset Store as it's a way too big submission ( more than 2.2 Go ) so in order to have that more or less available there it's been divided into 6 packs : fantasy animals pack / fantasy lizards pack / must have fantasy villains pack / mythological creatures pack / demonic creatures pack / living dead pack.

Hope all your questions have their answers.
Cheers

and thank you @ll for your support so far. Really appreciated!

 

little bump

Check out what's available at 50% OFF

 

Does the barbarian male's animation support mecanim / retargeting?

 

@Fuzzy_Slippers : Experience regarding the barbarian is pretty short. It can be set as an avatar pretty easily without too much of a hassle ( just have to select all the individual .FBX files for the animations in order to make a massive setting in one shot ). However there are some little tricks to follow in order to avoid having messed up animations.( in the animation set up : root Transform Rotation / Position ( Y ) Position ( XZ ) based upon at start to original ). Never tried to retarget its animation yet but since the creation process of the avatar is almost automatic I assume the animations can be retargeted pretty easily as well. Maybe if some of the customers who bought this asset can share their experience with it, it would be awesome.

 

little bump
Sale is still running!

 

I had a question about number of bones/bone structure for your humanoid characters. I'm mainly interested in the undead pack in the asset store. Can you maybe post a screencap of the zombie's bone structure in unity?

Oh also I was looking for the pack on your online store. You may want to think about putting up the packages there as you may get some folks who like to support devs directly and also wouldn't mind paying a slightly discounted rate as in your online store in return ;-)

 

@Rico21745 : are you talking about the demonic creatures pack / living dead pack / mythological creatures pack / fantasy animals pack / fantasy lizards pack / must have fantasy villains pack ? If some people are interested in getting those from PROTOFACTOR STORE, it might be possible to add them for sure.

regarding the bones structure for the undead, what do you want to know exactly? the number of bones or the hierarchy? both ?

 

Both would be useful!

And yeah I meant the living dead pack, the one that includes the zombie, sorry!

 

ok, so undead is 64 bones total ( 34 for the body and 30 for the intestines ) Intestines is a separate skinned mesh renderer that can be turned on / off ). I wouldn't recommend using this character in a mobile game. Currently messing around with Fraps in order to get a screen capture of the hierarchy within unity , but keep capturing the 3D view and not any selected window ...

 

Here is the undead hierarchy, finally ...

 

Only 48 hours left before this awesome summer sale ends!!! Go check it out.

Thanks a lot for all the support so far !

Cheers

 

I have 5 of the big packages in my shopping cart worth almost EUR 210,00 ... but unfortunately, once again (this is the 3rd or 4th time this is happening), the stupid EU VAT servers are failing big time. I hope this will be fixed tomorrow - otherwise, I might miss the end of the sale because the stupid European Union bureaucrats fail to deliver a VAT-ID checking service that actually works.

I can't believe they're forcing people to confirm this every time one does a purchase (it's kind of ridiculous because my VAT ID is correct and has been confirmed many times before ... it's not like these things become invalid over night, so checking one single time should be fully sufficient).

Wish me luck ;-)

 

Sorry to hear you're encountering such an issue. That really sucks pretty bad ... finger crossed then. Otherwise you can purchase these assets directly on PROTOFACTOR STORE ... But if I remember well you'd rather have that from the unity asset store ... In case you miss the sale because of this issue it will be possible to edit a specific invoice for you so you can have the 50% discount. ( but it would be on PROTOFACTOR STORE )

Good luck

 

A little bit less than 36 Hours to go! Summer sale's almost over.

 

This time it worked before the end of the sale. Lucky me, lucky you ;-)

 

@Jashan : Awesome! thanks for your support! Hope you'll enjoy the content you purchased.

 

Summer sale will end in 24 hours on the ASSET STORE! Slightly later on the PROTOFACTOR STORE
Don't miss it!

 

How did you get an exclusive sales event for your assets only?

 

Do not know ... Just asked them if it was possible to have my assets at 50% off because I was running a sale on PROTOFACTOR STORE. It ended up with this kind of exclusivity which seems to have been a glitch.

 

Ah ok, thanks!

 

Last few hours until the sale's over.

Thanks to everybody for their support!

 

I grabbed the living dead pack, mostly because I like the fact that you have your animations as separate files so in theory I should be able to retarget them for my own purposes

 

@rico21745 : Glad you like this pack and thanks for your support!
