Do you plan to create livestock like pigs, cows etc?
Yep, farm animals are coming.
very interested in these !
I am very interested as well. I patiently await release
Very interested in complete pack. I applaud the way it seems you will be including sound files and root motion. Two comments/questions - Doing turns with AI / NPC characters that use root motion is a real challenge. Can you verify this is working well and the approach your using? If handled via blendspace I assume there will be instructions for getting the right variables passed in to handle move to location commands with proper rotation. Secondly, can you make multiple antler mesh styles and sizes available for the deer? This would add a great deal of variety for multiple instances and for a small amount of work it would have a tremendous amount of impact to gameplay.
Really excellent work!
Hi and thanks.
To make things easier, turn left and right animations are in place. They would look a bit better if we wouldn’t put that constraint on them, but the price to pay would be that the animal would wander away from it’s current spot. With this approach you can turn them as much as you want and they stay in place. Same goes for some of the transitions like “stand” to “sitting” or “lying”, they are made in place even though all the animations are otherwise treated as having root motion, it just doesn’t move when not necessary. This makes the AI part much easier to deal with.
As for your second question, we plan and would love to have these variations via different antlers, we would love to add female/male variations and cubs as free updates. Hopefully people are interested enough to keep us working on them.
Edit: The turns are exactly by 90 degrees with matching stand pose. So if you turn the animal 4 times in one direction it should end up exactly as started. Btw, you can check the animations by downloading for free -> https://forums.unrealengine/showthread.php?94733-Free-Download-Animal-Spider-with-2-meshes-and-66-animations
hi
just wonder if this project is still progressing
I don’t think that will be a problem. Countless amounts of devs have been waiting for realistic, animated animals. I can’t imagine this not making it to the top of the all-time sales charts if the quality is good.
I’ll put my vote in for the wild animals - boar, lion, tiger, panther, crocodile, snake, monkey, gorilla, birds of all kinds, more birds, fish of all kinds, more fish.
We have them close to ready, it’s just little bits that need some attention, plus all those pictures and videos
Sounds good
Watching this with interest.
As many others said, our laundry list for realistic natural wildlife includes everything imaginable.
you didn’t include elephants , rhinos ? why ??
@: as we have mentioned, 2 - 3 models may not show you the clear picture (as i dont think we can do anything with just a few animals) but if you have a bunch of animals, well that’s a different story !
I am very happy that i found time, to look into your nice spider, which i got in the “free” time.
The animations are very cool.
I decided to use “Trude” to dig into animationstuff for learning purposes.
Have you a tip, howto setup this nice stuff?
I have a simple statemachine ai and i would love to drive the Trudi with that.
Thank you really very much for your nice work @
You could be sure, when i use any of your stuff in BEAMS and make any bucks with my game i buy it to honor your work.
I’m sure elephants and rhinos will make it into the list
Probably as other folks on the market - the more our stuff sells, the faster and the more new animals can we put on the market
That’s cool, will keep an eye on beams
Hey , what happened with the animated animals? Could definitely still use them.
Hi, sorry for the delay, but we have been upgrading our animals, redoing some of the meshes we were not satisfied with, adding some bonus assets…
We have just submitted Wanda the Vixen, rat will try his luck in a few days, then we will update wolf and spider, following by releasing bear, buffalo and finally deer and raccoon will be updated to the current level of our animals.
Here is info about Wanda and her cubs + the video:

wow you responded with videos and such. Very nice! Looks like I’ll be buying each of these animals. BTW that brings up a good question - now that your goals have changed since the original submissions, has your pricing model changed? Are you selling animals individually now?
Just a little update, we now have 9 animals, plus some assets and most of them in Halloween sale -> https://forums.unrealengine/showthread.php?115584-Rat-Fox-Wolf-Spider
