3d 'Marshes & Meadows' model pack

WHAT IS THIS PACKAGE?

This package of 3d nature models, designed to be useful for 3d marsh/swamp/coastal scenes or fields/meadow landscapes, is one that I'm still actively developing with free updates.

As of late 2024 my Etsy shop has closed and focus shifted nearly full time to this one. A lot of things are beginning to accelerate here as a result.

The next bundle sale for those who want all my asset packs combined at a very low price is on Feb. 14, 2026 (Valentines Day) and if that becomes out of date please as usual check the main page for current info. The bundle of all my stock media is also accessible on my Ko-fi page.

Finally, to all those who have helped keep this going, growing and accelerating: THANK YOU! It's because of you - over 140 of you actively followed my page, 18 reviewed various asset collections with five star feedback, dozens have posted comments, and over 250 have made purchases here. That is amazing, and it all keeps this archive of valuable gamedev material expanding at increasing speed as we head into 2026.

At the time of sale events, all 4000+ existing asset files plus all future updates to those, and indie games when they release, bundled for under $2.

I first released this on November 20th, 2018, with a brand new patch update at the start of February 2019 and a few minor further updates since then. This package includes various meshes all in both .FBX and .OBJ formats, with related texture maps (.PNG and .JPG, generally) which, at this time, total well over a dozen plant variants, mossy rocks, fallen mossy branch, water plant decals, along with three other 'demo scene' models [a terrain, a skydome, and a water surface]

Pricing - This is a cheap asset pack, so it's not huge but also certainly not expensive. 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 which is a pretty amazing price for thousands of texture files, decals, and overlays, hundreds of video elements and hundreds of 3d assets!

Here's a big 1080p HD resolution version of that cover image showcasing the first ten objects in the initial release.

Note that all plants in the package are relatively low-poly and potentially suitable for use in games, not just pre-rendered art [VFX, architectural renders, cutscenes, and so on].

Initial launch contents:

-alligator weed, 2 variants

-cattails, 2 variants

-lilypad and two types of lily flowers

-several types of grass tufts

-three ferns

-a folder with water surface animation [.png sequence] and sky texture, terrain texture and associated meshes.

February 2019 additions - posted with Butler as of Feb. 2, 2019:

- simple low-poly rocks (variants with and without moss) 

- a textured 3d  bald cypress tree model. 

Other items  have been added since then, including new flowers, trees and shrubs. Here's one example:

NOTE: I'm making even wider ranges of trees and forest details plus many more flowers and bushes, for my other stock 3d collections "Forests & Flowers" and "Snow & Sand". My aim now, is to keep updating these so the three collections together climb well into the hundreds of objects by 2025, enough to fill just about any type of nature scene you might want to make!

If you want a few sample texture maps, decals, and 3d assets, just to test and make sure my stuff will work in your software, I have a good (if small) free asset pack for that purpose. It's on the Forests & Flowers page, an extra [freeware!] download. 

Notes on usage: You can, as usual with my stuff, use all of these 3d models in your own 3d renders, video VFX sequences, video game levels. You can make VFX shots and cutscenes using them. 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 a bunch of indie games actively in the works.

PLEASE RATE OR REVIEW IF YOU LIKE THIS, or:

Another update has been posted on Nov. 4, 2024.

-added new water plant decal objects (water lettuce and duckweed clumps) and 3d beach grass tufts. 

By January 2026 all the nature 3d packs were updated with a few new 3d items and all models ported to .GLB format as supplement to FBX, OBJ.

COMMENTS & REQUESTS WELCOMED:

So, yes, I hope to hear some responses from all of you. Those responses have an impact! If, for example, I'm seeing a number of people all requesting a certain type of texture, 3d object, or video VFX element I may make that a priority in later updates. So I WILL respond to your feedback as much as I reasonably can. I welcome your replies. 

A BIG THANK YOU to the people who have already purchased, some of you even tipped! THANK YOU!
