Synty is always a safe bet when it comes to models, environments, and overall quality. I bought this pack a few years ago, but this is my first time using it, and I noticed they censored the racist German symbols. They’re not even present in the unused textures! I checked their Facebook page, and in version 1.0 they were still included. Is there any way to get them back or download a previous version of this asset?

First, I'll point it out (again), this is a good "starting" point for a war game. There's a lot of wonderful assets in this bundle, but for making an actual (and original) game will require that you work quite a bit around those assets. While I would give this 4 stars for the sheer content and the general quality of it, I must point out that it's far from perfect nor should I even say "practical". Here's a few points to be known: - The characters aren't customizable per say, but more like some have the possibility to add some pieces (like an helmet or an hat or a backpack). It's a LOT limited and you'll have to either rework the models or create a custom shader for adding proper customization to the characters. (Also, you'll be stuck with the mono-eyebrows for the soldier unless you modify the models.) As-it-is, you'll be stuck with 1 soldier model (per type) with 1 hair color (unless you change the color by changing the whole character's texture). The bundle comes with no way of handling things like uniform colors or military logo without creating a massive amount of texture variations. I moved around that limitation by modifying the characters by modifying their model in Blender with removing the heads, adding the hairs + facial hairs + brows + head models from another of Synty Studio bundle (Modular Fantasy Hero Characters) and while I modified the models, I made a few adjustments for the sake of making it light and easy to work with: - I modified the models so that the RGB values of the vertex colors represent the skin, hair and eyes colors set in the shader. - I made a custom uniform shader (works also for vehicles) for allowing me to change the uniform color + military icons/logos on the fly. I removed the original icon, logo & patterns from the original textures. (So a uniform material uses 3 textures: 1 for the logos, 1 for the pattern and 1 for the details and the colors are dictated by colors values.) - (It's still a work in progress) I'm working on making a female version of the uniforms because, right now, you're limited to 1 military naval female officer (with a stuck hat) model not really fit for combat (and 1 rebel female character). That's the general idea of how much work you'll be getting into if you were to use this bundle with anything close to customization. The impracticality of the bundle is not just about the characters, but also about the environmental assets. Obviously to the Low Polygon style of Synty Studio, the whole things is a modular setup and it's a relatively good one, but there's quite a few assets there are not exactly cleanly made. Unless you model your own "fixes", you'll be wasting a lot of time, efforts and triangles' budget on trying to fit things together in a way so that it looks good and well filled. This bundle is not a bundle that makes uses of texture-based visual effects to simulate details (like a normal map), but from actual meshes details for most cases hence to make something feels "filled", you'll be putting a lot of effort in placing details manually while watching your rendering budget. If you're having an hard time modeling or scripting shaders and have no access to people who can do it for you, I suggest you stay clear from this bundle. It's not that it's bad, but it's more that you'll be facing a lot of hardship which might make you regret the purchase. If you and/or your team is able to properly optimize, codes and modify 3D models, than this can be a really good start to push through.

The WWII is huge and I hope there will be more elements about other Asian countries like Chinese and Japanese.

Nice work

really great work having some issues with meshbaker n some out of bounds uv errors but great pack

I have use this asset alot in different games. WW1 assets would be amazing extra for this asset. Thank you Synty studios.

Amaizng models all together but, it's difficult to create a thrid person game with their environments, because my camera is always against a wall due to how tight some spaces are, their stairs is most definitely the worst, extremely tight, i dont see the point of creating interiors if they can't be utilised

Its a great asset pack with alot of content with many possibilites! Unfortunately some key features are missing: Not all vehicles (tanks and planes) have a destroyed version (please add). Tank tracks/chains not animaitable, only the wheels but tracks are more important (please add) Machine guns in tanks fixed so not usable for gameplay, plase make all machine guns independent rotatable. Before purchasing I was told by the author everything in vehicles is animatable but as I had to find out, thats not the case. Will give 5* rating as soon as those are updated

Amazing content, a very wide and complete asset for good low poly war games.

This asset is so huge that it is beyond description. The attention to detail and variety in this asset make it a no-brainer to purchase a license. The possibilities of games you can create with this are endless. The asset is organized nicely. I have no hesitation recommending this asset along with any of the other assets this author produces (I have all of the low poly series in this style). To call it "brilliant" is an understatement.
