[WIP for AssetStore] Realistic Casual Dog || Animated

Hello,
We are planning to share with you our first asset that we would like to develop for Asset Store. It will be a dog like on below screens. At 1st pass it will be mid-poly mesh for PC with basic ~8 animationSet: idle_stand, idle_sit, walk_front, walk_back, run_front, run_back, crawling_front, crawling_back. 4k and 2k textures: diffuse, normalMap, specular, fur as a separate skined mesh. At 2nd pass we are planning to prepare it for mobile. As an updates we would like to add more animations.

We would like to ask you what would you like to see on this asset, what kind of animations? What is your expectations about it?

 

WIP update #1 - Dog Walk Animation:

 

Great model! Things I would love to see:

Animations with root motion
Ground sniffing
Panting
Face blend shapes
Tail wagging
Left/right animations for blending (rotating the character to turn just doesn't look realistic)
Barking, growling, etc
Lie down
Begging

With the right animations this could be really awesome! Keep up the good work

 

Probably we will add two types of animation in-place and moving forvard.

Added to TODO list

Are you requesting for moving or turning left/right animations?

 

WIP update #2:

 

Sounds awesome - I meant something like running/walking in a circle with root motion for blending. You'd probably also need pivoting for quick direction changes. Looking great!

 

Awww... puppy

 

update #3.1:

 

update #3.2:

 

Beautiful animations. Are you guys planning on doing different breeds of dogs?

 

look great, just one little details: the ears position when a dog is aggressive is different:

We don't deny, but it depends of sale. We will see. Right now our plan as a startup is to realease one quadruped and one humanoid.

Thanks for this reference. We will make some tweaks.

 

Will these be mecanim dogs?

 

It shoudnt have tongue out whole time...

 

new update:

 

yes it will be setup with mecanim

 

Any approx. release date?

 

We are planning to add few animation on this week, and submit it to AssetStore, hope there will be no return from them. In FAQ submit take up to 4 weeks, so I can't tell you precise release date.

 

Final animation tweaks and adjustments are on the way! We would like to share a little teaser before release

 

Love this dog! It looks like just "any" dog rather than some fancy breed and more useful in a historical game than all the purebreed dogs already on the store.

I hope, if you make more, that you will continue to make generic dogs that don't look like they came out of a pet shop.

Looking forward to the release! Great animations, btw.

Edit: The tongue hanging out the entire time should probably be fixed though. lol Not entirely realistic, especially with some of your animations.

 

it's 2nd suggestion about it, we will make 2 versions of tongue anim: hanging and not-hanging.

 

Good!! That tongue hanging out all the time pains me...looks like the poor thing had a stroke. lol

Otherwise, great dog!

 

Pre release update, now we need to create our first package nad send it to AssetStore. Hope there will be not problems with submit.

 

Mus be pretty good. My cat sat on my computer case and watched the entire video. She was fascinated.

 

Yesterday package was sended to the AssetStore review team.

 

And it's released on the AssetStore!
