Plant Monster Pack PBR is a fanciful character perfect for Fantasy & RPG games. The animations are fluid and realistic, and the customization options are spectacular. Beyond customizing every aspect of the texture, you can create many "levels" of Plant Monster by turning off some of the sub-meshes, like the leaves, thorns, flowers or vines.​

​

Texture Customization​

Take control of the models, and make them match your project. Use the included Substance Painter source files to create custom textures in minutes, exported to work with Unity using a single click. Works with HDRP and non-HDRP projects!

Of course if you don't have any interest in creating your own textures, I often ship my packs with multiple texture options that are ready to be used out of the box. If you sign up at InfinityPBR.com there may be more downloads availalbe for free.

​

Mesh Morphing​

Blend Shapes give you the power to change the physical mesh of the model, often creating characters that look very different from the default. Our editor script will expose specific Blend Shapes in the Inspector, with sliders to change the values. You can even code the changes. That means your players can customize the mesh of their character, or spawned enemies can be given random values so each is different from the next.

​

Sound Effects​

We include sound effects to go with the animations. These are created by sound designers specifically for Plant Monster Pack PBR, often using practical foley recordings. We often include variations, so each time the sound is triggered, a script will randomly choose one of the variations to play. And sometimes we include multiple layers of audio, so you can mix and match and create the right effect for your game.

The included script makes it easy to play clips & loops called via Aniamtion Events or other trigger methods. Options include multiple clips (randomly chosen), volume levels & modifications for volume by velocity, as well as the ability to play clips only some of the time. This way, for example, enemies can grunt during their idle loop, but only as often as you want them to.

Re-Mixable Custom Music​

A composer has creates original tracks to accompany these packs. Some tracks are more like Theme Music, while others are more Ambient, or anywhere in between. Music is always included in layers. Each stem, often a single instrument, can be used in the Unity Audio Mixer so you can create your own mixes. The Demo scene will include a selection of Snapshots ready to be used, as well as scripts showing how you can modify the sound during gameplay.

The music can now adapt to your game. Fade to another snapshot based on in-game variables such as Player Health, Time Remaining or whether the game is Paused or not. While a Composers Mix is always included if you do not want to mix your own tracks, we urge you to try it out. The power you have is insane.

This video showcases 20 second clips from each of the included game-ready mixes. You can create your own mixes quickly and easily, and export them into .wav files with a single click!​

​

Concept Art​

You know what often separates the AAA studios from you? Their advertising channels are full of concept art, and yours isn't. As far as I know, there are no other Asset Store packages that include Concept Art. Using this, you can populate your website, Steam page, Facebook feed, Twitter, with compelling artwork to excite your fans before you have a game to show.

At least 3 images are provided in both PNG & Photoshop format. The Photoshop files are layered, so you can turn on/off body parts and armor whenever possible, or modify the color or look for some layers but not others. These images are ultra high resolution.

​

Animations​

Realistic animations are important. I don't know about you, but when I swing a bat real hard, my whole body moves. So if a character swings their sword, I think their whole body should move too. The world they live in may be fantasy, but we work to make sure that the perceived physics of the animations are realistic and highly detailed, including facial & wardrobe animation when possible.

• Attack 1
• Attack 2
• Cast 1
• Death
• Got Hit

​

Source Files​

Substance Painter​

Whenever possible, Substance Painter project files are included so those who know the program can drastically re-texture the models. In some cases, re-textureing may be more difficult due to limitations in Painter or because the original texture was not created in Painter.

Please note: Source Files do not give you license to share or sell the animations or textures you create. If you're a highly skilled artist and interesetd in sharing or selling your work to the InfinityPBR community as add-on packages, please contact me.

This demo scene includes most of the features: Animation with sound effects, textures, mesh morphing & now music as well!​

About Infinity PBR​

I made a 30+ hour RPG using all Asset Store artwork. Without the Asset Store, that would have been impossible, and I am forever grateful for the artists who published their work. But I wanted more. I wanted more than just a few texture types. I wanted audio specific to the animations -- and I wanted animations that were realistic. I wanted the ability to change the look of my creatures, and dress my characters in a variety of clothing. And I wanted all of that wardrobe to be itself customizable. I wanted high quality PBR mateirials.

Infinty PBR includes work from over a dozen artists, each specializing in their specific area.​

My goal is to provide you with packages that are more than what you've ever been exposed to before. Concept Art to help you market your work, Mesh Morphing & Texture Customization to keep things exciting in your game while also helping differentiate your game from others who use the same Asset Store packs. Animations & Sound Effects that feel real and bring characters to life. Music that can be adapted to fit the mood of your game, your scene, and your players.

If you think what I'm doing is valuable, I urge you to subscribe to all of my work. You can sign up at InfinityPBR.com, and you can choose to get all new characters for just $30, the day they're released. You get a huge discount, often over 50%, and I get a budget to work with. If enough of you sign up, I'll not only be able to continue making more character & environment packs, but I'll be able to contract with more high quality artists to produce everything faster, add more animations, more wardrobe and all that. Thank you for your support!

Nice

 

These are awesome!

 

This has been submitted to the store. You can find the demo scene to download here: http://www.infinitypbr.com/plantMonster

Part of Monster Pack #1! Right now that's $79, but the price is going up when the update is approved. If you get it today, you'll save $20 and get all four characters.

I got your Dungeon+ Pack PBR. Looked too good to pass up but based on all the other cool assets you've created it looks like your plotting to make me poor.

 

Only until you release a game that makes you filthy rich!

 

I'm also testing a new audio designer with this package. He's creating custom audio to match the animations. When finished, they'll be included in the package (and I"ll have to re-do the video!) If it works out, then I'll hopefully work with him on audio for all of my packages.

 

This is insanely good!

 

I'm submitting an update today that'll include two new cool things!

1. AUDIO! I decided to see about putting audio into all of my packages, and the Plant Monster is the first one. Let me know what you think! (PBR Monster Pack #1 will also be updated)

2. Mass Export script. This is huge, really. With a single click you'll be able to export all the Procedural Materials into game-ready Standard Shader materials, very organized with names you choose. You can even opt to share maps (Normal, AO etc) with previous exports, so if you only change the color of a character, you can save on disk space and RAM use in game!

 

Audio is what I'm looking for, Dragons mostly but other Monsters too.

 

Awesome, let me know what you think of this audio. The designer is working on another character now (Bomber Bug), and if things work out he'll do all the characters, including the Dragon . (But I'm holding off on the Dragon, figuring things get better over time and want to save the 'big' stuff for once he and I are really solid on the sound design)

 

Nice to hear it. I have almost all of Your assets (except one) they are top notch and sound would be very nice addition to monsters and complete them nicely.

 

Plant Monster Pack PBR has been updated!
(Part of PBR Monster Pack #3)
​

1. "Copy This To That", an editor script ready to be used in a new "Texture Creation" scene, allows you to copy the settings from any one section to the other sections on the same or other materials. Rather than updating the changes to each section by hand, you can now update a single section, and copy that to all the others with one click.​

2. "Mass Exporter" script, along with a Single Exporter script, make it easy to export the customized materials directly into Standard Shader Materials, 100% game ready, with a single click. Advanced features include the ability to share un-changed texture maps from one material to another, so materials that only change the color, will only use a single new map, rather than 4!

* This is actually a pretty important update. I suggest you check it out, as it'll save a TON of time over the previous version.

 

Latest demo video is below. The update adds BLEND SHAPES!

What are Blend Shapes? They allow you to morph the physical mesh of the model. Using over a dozen exposed shapes -- sliders in the inspector -- you can massively change the look of the plant. Save the results as prefabs or code it during your game for customization or randomization. This is a big deal

 

Concept art is now available for download at http://www.InfinityPBR.com

These three images are each layered for more customization, and come in both photoshop and png format, so you can change the colors of the particles, the parts or the main plant!

 

Music is now available! The track "Forest of Forgotten Souls" is presented with many layers, so you can mix your own versions using the Unity Audio Mixer. Included are 8 alternative snapshots ready to use.

Of course you can use the Composers Mix right away too

Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/user-821120479/infinitypbrcom-forest-of-forgotten-souls

 

Here's the demo scene -- skip to about half way through for examples of what you can do with the music.

 

Here's a video showcasing the 10 includes mixes of the track "Forest of Forgotten Souls". You can create your own mixes using the Unity Audio Mixer (included in the demo scene), and export them with a single click!

 

I love your approach of mesh morphing on parts but i have concern about increased drawcall. Can you eleborate on this ?

 

From what we gather, there is zero or near zero effect with using the blend shapes. Depending on how you implement them, there could be some slight overhead when adjusting, but it likely isn't much

 

Ok, What I meant was that how fragmented your character into different objects? If you have all different parts of the character as separate objects due to implementing blend shapes isn't it going to cause the overall draw call to increase?

I think you can still make blend shapes for different parts based on single skinned mesh , so I would like to know if your model is fragmented a lot or just enough to enable toggling of the models that can be hidden etc.

So for instance , the stone monster. It has a lots of different parts all around the body with blend shapes applied to all over the body so are they separate objects or single skinned mesh ( except the spikes on the back since it can be toggled off )?

I was not asking about the actual blend shape causing performance hits but rather the way the blend shapes are implemented in the model to cause the draw call increase.

Not sure if I have explained clearly thou..

 

The Rock Monster is a two meshes, so two draws call if I'm not mistaken(?), even though it's made up of many small stones, and even with the full blend shapes. The three spikes on the top of his head is a sub-mesh, allowing it to be turned off.

The blend shapes don't add anything to the mesh count or anything like that. It's the same technique more often used to animate characters with blendshapes instead of bones, but we don't animated them, and instead the script I wrote can control them at run time or in the editor . Many of the characters also have animated shapes, if you look @ the skinned mesh renderer components.

 

Hi
Please let me know how I can get the concept art.
I couldn't figured out.
Thanks!

 

If you register your unity purchase on his website , the concept art is downloadable there.

 

Thank you!

 

I'm trying out a new price for it. I still firmly believe that the assets are worth $49 each (and then $140 for the pack), but in the end if the pack is $60 and gets 2.5x the sales, then it makes sense to keep the price lower. So...for a while, probably, 2-3 months to give it a try and see how it goes.

 

Bring them all to that price!!

 

If there are consistent sales at that price, resulting in higher revenue than I would have expected otherwise, then I may do that. However, I've had many many people say in the past "lower the price and I'll buy it", and then I did, and no one bought it Not that you're saying that. Just that lowering prices is not by any means a way to increase revenue -- quite the opposite often, raising prices may actually increase revenue and sometimes even sales.

 

It would be nice if Unity had a way of reaching out to those people, even something like a notification if an asset you are watching / have in a list has a new price point. I'm sure there are a few that honestly would, but they don't have any way of knowing unless they constantly check the asset store.
