Autumn 2018 Bonus Collection

This AUTUMN BONUS COLLECTION is a substantial assortment of video elements and texture maps, supplementing the first stock media pack I made available on Itch.IO (Triumphant Artists Complete Collection 2018).

Like that first package, this one includes both stock footage video clips, and stock texture maps.

This new bonus pack contains 201 additional image files, including a variety of diffuse, normal/bump, and specular maps, to help 3d artists create various realistic surfaces on their models. There are also a bunch more that will be added in an update soon, plus some improvements to existing texture maps - and Unity preset materials for all of them, so indie devs working with Unity can simply download the updated version later this month (by end of March 2020), load the 'Unity' folder into Unity, and use the materials there, instead of needing to make a material and attach all the related maps one by one.

It also includes 15 HD video clips of fire and spark-heavy explosions. I shot these against black, so they'll be easier for you to composite for efficient visual effects work or use in game cutscenes, and they're in high quality .mp4 format.

I may also simulate a few fairly realistic looking digital physics simulated pyrotechnic elements and add them soon using some nice volumetric shaders and a mix of simulation methods. You can see free examples of this on my main profile page already. 

Pricing - This is a cheap asset pack but now around $2 due mainly to Paypal fee increases, so still less than a penny per texture image file in the first place, not even considering the presence of the HD video FX elements. But if that's not good enough, know that I will use almost any holiday as a time to enact a major sale, usually about 8-10 times per year (often including New Year's, Valentine's Day, St. Patricks' Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas)... so if you can show up during one of those sales, you can often find a massive bundle deal with all my paid items for around $2-3 USD which is a pretty amazing price for thousands of texture files, decals, and overlays, hundreds of video elements and hundreds of 3d assets!

At that time, all 3000+ existing asset files plus all future updates to those, and indie games when they release, bundled for $2 or so.

Notes on usage: You can add the textures to your models and use them in your own 3d renders, video VFX sequences, video game levels. You can make VFX shots and cutscenes using the video clips. All of that, royalty-free, too, with no need to credit me. If you like this, though, I'd appreciate a comment or review here on Itch.IO. 

Sales made here will also be extremely helpful in funding not only development of future stock media content but also indie games like Miniature Multiverse, which has cost a lot to develop already and still is not quite complete.

PLEASE RATE OR REVIEW IF YOU LIKE THIS:

As usual, any ratings, reviews, comments, etc, are welcomed. 

I know most Itch users don't post reviews and many don't even know how to, don't even realize there is a review function, but any reviews posted here are helpful.

Nonetheless, I'll note that this collection has been bought a few times already here and also a few times as part of a bigger bundle of ALL of my textures [just textures specifically] on Etsy, a collection that includes the textures from the 2020, 2022, Autumn 2018, and TACC2018 texture collections in a single bundle [at a slightly higher price]. That larger collection has been bought eight times so far on Etsy and has resulted in several positive reviews, as seen below:

While there are many buyers on Itch, and some even have tipped generously, it's largely momentum on Etsy that has been keeping things moving here lately on my Itch shop. It's largely because of Etsy sales that I've continued to update these stock media asset-pack collections at the rate I have been. And the combination of $75+ in sales of stock media on Itch in the past 12 months and $90+ in sales on Etsy over the same timeframe, means I'm very excited and optimistic about what updates and releases will be possible for me to complete in both games and asset collections over the course of 2023.

So to all those who have helped keep this going, growing and accelerating: THANK YOU!
