Stylized Slavic Village Props

Description

Bring a Slavic fairy tale to life: Baba Yaga’s hut on chicken legs, a warm log-cabin (isba) interior gathered around the great Russian stove, and a village with its carved gate, log bathhouse, well, beehives and hay cart.

60 stylized props and a 10-piece modular isba kit, painted in warm folk-art colors with carved details, for fantasy, RPG and folk-horror games. Every asset is at real-world scale, with 4 levels of detail, PBR textures, collision and 3 color variations, plus an overview map and 3 demo maps that show the pieces assembled.

HOW TO USE • Unreal Engine 5.8: add the pack to your project — everything is in Content/StylizedSlavicVillageProps. Open Maps/Overview to see every asset with its name, or a demo map (Maps/Demo_Isba, Maps/Demo_Village, Maps/Demo_WitchYard) to see them assembled. Drag the props into your level: collision and LODs are already set. • Color variations: select a placed prop and set Custom Primitive Data Defaults in its Details panel (or Set Custom Primitive Data Float at runtime): 0 Desaturation, 1 Darkening, 2 Roughness offset, 4–6 Tint offset (RGB). Weathered = 0.55, -0.08, 0.2, tint 0 / 0.03 / 0.08; Dark = -0.1, 0.68, -0.1, tint 0 / 0.12 / 0.22. Left at 0, a prop keeps its natural colors. • Other engines and 3D tools: use the GLB or FBX files (meters, Y-up, one file per LOD, UCX_ collision) with the PBR textures of each asset; recolored base color maps for the Weathered and Dark looks are in textures/variants/.

TECHNICAL DETAILS • Unique meshes: 70 (60 props + 10 modular pieces) • Scale: real-world, 0.20 to 4.50 m; pivot centered on the ground; front facing +X in the supplied Unreal project. GLB files use metres and Y-up; some retain their native facing direction, such as the carved rune door • Triangles: LOD0 720–11,640 · LOD1 360–5,820 · LOD2 180–2,910 · LOD3 90–1,454 (budget set by real-world size) • LODs: 4 per mesh, screen sizes set by hand and halving per level (1.0 / 0.5 / 0.25 / 0.125) — Unreal’s automatic values switch to the lowest level far too early for imported LODs • Collision: a convex hull on every prop; the modular pieces collide with their own geometry (Complex as Simple), so doorways and window openings stay open • Lightmap UVs: channel 1 on every LOD • Nanite: off; the supplied meshes use classic LODs. Nanite can be enabled per mesh in projects that support it • Materials: 2 master materials, 288 material instances (one per LOD, plus 8 for the demo surfaces) • Textures: 763 — PBR metal/roughness: base color (sRGB) and a packed ORM map (occlusion, roughness, metallic); normal maps on 202 of the 280 LODs, where they measurably improve the shading in Unreal • Texture resolution: props LOD0 2048 / LOD1 1024 / LOD2 512–1024 / LOD3 256–512 px; modular pieces 1024 / 512 / 256 / 256 px • Color variations: Natural, Weathered and Dark for every prop, set per placed actor (Custom Primitive Data); all LODs follow • Maps: Overview and 3 demo maps (Demo_Isba, Demo_Village, Demo_WitchYard), built only from the included assets; lit by Lumen, with no precomputed lighting (nothing to build); each map carries its own post-process settings • Unreal Engine: 5.8 (the project does not open in earlier versions — use the GLB or FBX files there) • Additional formats: glTF 2.0 (.glb) and FBX, meters, one file per LOD, collision named UCX_; normal maps in OpenGL convention (flip green for DirectX-convention engines — the Unreal project is already set up) • Supported development platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux (content only: no code, no plugin) • Clean geometry, checked on all 240 LODs of the 60 props: no holes (0 open edges); no loose fragments; consistent shading normals (under 1% of faces) • Tested in Unreal Engine 5.8 before release: every asset rendered and measured in the engine (scale, pivot, LODs, collision, normal maps); each doorway of the modular kit crossed by a character footprint (0.70 x 1.80 m), the walls around it solid. Not tested: performance budgets on specific platforms • Documentation: this description; a README in the GLB/FBX download lists every asset with its size, triangles and texture sizes

Not included: characters or creatures, animations, sounds, visual effects (no fire or smoke effects: the candle has no flame, and the glow of the stove and lanterns in the demo maps comes from standard Unreal lights), Blueprints or code.

Created with AI: the source images and the 3D shapes of the 60 props were generated with AI models licensed for commercial use, then processed with our own tools: real-world scale, ground pivot, LODs, texture baking, collision and color variations; every LOD was checked in Unreal against its source. The 10 modular building pieces are not AI-generated: they are modeled procedurally in Blender, to exact dimensions.
