For building the game forest within Unreal, to make a realistic forest a wide variety of flora, fauna and, mainly, trees will be needed. The images below are a small sample of the hundreds or varieties of models available for download. Visit other model sites such as
1. http://www.turbosquid.com/
or 2. http://www.3dexport.com/




If you want any of these models, AbTeC will purchase them. Please let us know via Owisokon what you would like. Also, if you find anything more appropriate please let us know in the comments (or through email.)

Here are the UV mapped image of your meshes.
Arrow_01.tga
Bow_01.tga
Coal_01.tga
Pottery_01.tga
All there is to do is to texture them. Once that is done, we’ll go ahead with the animations!
