Gathering Resources - Advanced System | sizzoNNz

Gathering resources has never been as easy as with this system made in Blueprints. It allows you to spawn resources and gather them in a couple of clicks. The creator also added a mini-game to make the process more enjoyable. 

The system can be customized and deployed even by beginners. It lets you set up gathering tools and connect them with resources, set up resources and their destructible versions, adjust the information for resources, like their health, tier, enchantment, particle color, and probability of occurrence, and paint everything using a foliage tool.

Additionally, you'll find:

• crystal material resource,
• material on-hit VFX,
• resource enchantment VFX,
• item VFX,
• 3 resources with their destructible counterparts (Crystal, Gold, Stone),
• sounds
• default gathering animation

Ithris Cemetery | Rasmus Bagner

No fantasy setting can do without a cemetery, so Rasmus Bagner is here to help. Its modular nature will make sure every piece is where you want it to be – perfect for lighting practice or a game about vampires. There are over 150 static meshes and 11 tileable materials, with LODs and custom collision.

Here is what you'll get in detail:

• 100 modular pieces
• 60+ props, foliage, ground scatter, and rock assets combined.
• 11 Tileable/Trim materials with variations, vertex blending shader on applicable materials, and parameters for roughness, normal intensity, detail normal map, and more.
• Levels: 1 overview level and 1 showcase level.
• Channel packed where needed, including heightmap on certain materials.

Line of Sight Dynamic Mesh | BarushColi

This next tool looks pretty simple but it's very handy for any game that uses line of sight in any way. The system creates LOS and allows you to detect objects. Alternatively, it can be used in post-processing for lighting and a fog-of-war effect.

It features:

• 2 geometric types: arch and line.
• Creates 2 arches.
• Rotate along X, Y, Z. Not only Z (Top-Down games).
• High performance, the component is written in C ++.
• Can be used in 3D and 2D games.
• Can be used for pseudo lighting (example in the screenshot).
• Easy to use in Blueprints. For minimal functionality, only two functions need to be called.
• Additional functions for interpolation of angles, radius, rotation. Watch the video preview.
• Can be executed on a server in a multiplayer game.
• Detection of enemies occurs even if the mesh is invisible.

Fantasy Bundle Environment Kit 3 in 1 | Denys Rutkovskyi

Here is another great environment kit that will make your scenes boom. It has 3 AAA game environments in fantasy and medieval settings: Fantasy and Medieval Architecture Kit, Fantasy Cave Environment Set, and Fantasy Medieval Castle Kit.

There are props, decals, blended materials, PBR textures, landscapes, levels, and a lot more hiding in this useful set – and all free until the end of January.
