Introduction

These characters packs are designed to populate your urban environments with a rich variety of animated characters. The Polyart style provides optimized characters, making them suitable for low-end devices and AR/VR simulations.

What's New in v1.1.0

• Enhanced Demo_1_Showcase Scene: Hovering over characters now increases their size (focus effect), and clicking cycles through available material palettes.

• New Demo Scene: Introduced Demo_2_IsoCity, an isometric view of a town populated with animated characters. A few simple buildings have been added to enhance the package with this scene.

• CityPeople Script Update: New method for easy material switching that intelligently replaces materials with the "people_pal" prefix.

• Unity 6 Compatibility: Fully tested and compatible with Unity 6.

CityPeople Component Script

Located in the Scripts folder, the CityPeople component script offers basic functionality to control character behaviors and appearances.

Key Features

• Material Switching Method: Easily change a character's material palette using the new method: public void SetPalette(Material mat)
  • Usage: This method replaces materials with the people_pal prefix while leaving other materials untouched.
• Auto Play Animation: Setting this field to True in the inspector makes the character switch animations randomly for testing and demonstration purposes.

Palette System and UV

The characters UV have been mapped in a way to make easy the switching of palettes. These textures (acting as palettes) have a standardized structure with areas corresponding to different surfaces of the characters:

• Skin colors
• Hair colors
• Clothes colors
• Dark and Light details.

A single texture/material pair can be applied to all the characters in this package. And any texture/material can be applied to any character.

Free tool DA Poly Paint can be used to further modify the UV 'painting' by model with ease.
