#unity3d
needed any more bad press this week, they're cutting ArtEngine (one of our core tools for texture creation) after acquiring them only 2 years ago.
I haven't found any public announcements yet, but I received this email this morning:
Here it is! The Verdant Trail: A bundle of high quality 3D assets, textures and HDRIs from the South African grassveld.

No sign up required, free to use for any purpose, all thanks to our fine patrons!
Our latest asset collection drops tomorrow! We started this project almost a year ago, so we're excited to finally share our work with you guys <3

Tomorrow we start releasing "pure skies": Past HDRIs edited to remove everything other than the sky.
We plan to publish more than 40 in the next few months, so support us on Patreon or purchase our Blender add-on for early access:

devs for making this possible <3
