Why this pack?
This is a very simple and straight forward pack of resources: Just a bunch of cool horns and antlers that you can use as a starting point or polished assets in your own projects. There are no detailing brushes in this pack, just meshes. However, there are two IMM brushes that come with optimised versions of the horns so you can simply ‘click and drag’ them into your project to add them in!
The pack comes with two types of horns:
- Animals containing manually sculpted and detailed horns based on real animals and
- Fantasy: manually sculpted and detailed horns that are made up and can work well within a fantasy theme
Some examples
These are some examples of the various types of horns and antlers you can find in the pack. All assets in this pack come as an optimised IMM brush (Decimated) as well as ZBrush Subtools with base meshes and subdivision levels. The idea is to provide you with a quick and easy way prototype ideas and to create variations for any project that might need horns or antlers.
Resource insights
The pack comes with a few files, so you can access the assets in different ways. There are two Ztools, one for the animal horns and one for the fantasy, each one of them containing multiple subtools with all the horns and antlers, including the subdivision levels. There are also a couple of different IMM brushes for each ‘type’ (animals or fantasy): The base mesh IMM which only has the clean base meshes of all the horns, and the optimised IMM, which has the optimised (decimated) but detailed version of all the horns.
Overview
This pack has a variaty of different horns and antlers that can already be used in your projects. Some of the assets are very unique so it might be a good idea to tweak them a little to make them yours, this is why there is also a version of each asset with Subdivisions as well as the based mesh.
There are two types of assets included in the pack:
Animal horns: These assets are based on the horns and antlers of real animals like a Ram, a Gemsbok, a water buffalo, an Alpine Ibex, a Markhor, etc.
Fantasy horns: The fantasy horns and antlers are completely made up but also based on some real references so these are assets that will work well for any type of creature or fantasy character.
