3d 'Marshes & Meadows' model pack
A downloadable asset 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.
NEXT BIG SALE on Nov. 28, 2024
At that time, all 3000+ existing asset files plus all future updates to those, and indie games when they release, bundled for under $3.
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:
-comment
-ask questions
-offer suggestions for future additions
-wishlist the asset pack
-follow my profile to keep track of future additions
-any other interaction that makes sense, any type of feedback is appreciated.
Another update has been posted on Nov. 4, 2024.
Download issues recently identified are now fixed.
-added new water plant decal objects (water lettuce and duckweed clumps) and 3d beach grass tufts.
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!

Hi, I just bought this as part of the bundle but there’s no downloadable files here.
Somehow, likely in the last few days, the checkbox 'hide this file' got turned on. I don't know how. I've now fixed that. Sorry for the confusion.
It's also possible this has been a problem on this listing quietly for far longer, in which case it's deeply unfortunate. The files have been present on itch with occasional updates for years but if nobody was able to download them the entire time that's a really big mistake... I'll go through other listings and make sure all other asset pack files have the checkbox set correctly [just in case this has also happened anywhere else]
Thank you for bringing this up. I might not have noticed that issue until much later if you hadn't called my attention to it.
I know, I know - updates planned for the start of the Halloween sale are behind schedule. But the new stuff added to these asset packs will be posted soon, likely within the next 24 hrs, before the sale's over.
The content I'm currently working to add across my various 3d asset packs by the afternoon of Nov. 1st, includes:
-birch tree (green and fall foliage)
-Overgrown swamp tree with Spanish Moss
-Rabbitbrush and Utah Honeysuckle shrubs.
-Black-eyed Susan and Indian Blanket [wildflowers]
-Saguaro cactus
-fallen leaves, decals.
There'll also be some scattered website updates starting at around that time, and some new itch.IO page updates & showcase renders including the new 3d content.
I realize that despite posts on various gamedev forums, within the Itch.IO community, in a few FB groups, and even a small $5 Reddit campaign focused on the r/gamedev community... and a grand total of 250+ visitors on my Itch pages during the last four days, I'm still nowhere near hitting the sales target I had aimed for. The Halloween sale is more than 60% over, but there have been no customers buying *anything* of mine during it. A shame, really, but if someone did step in and place an order now, or if some people who've already placed orders would *rate* the stuff they've ordered, it'd go a long way towards turning this around.
And that'd be great!
