Hey there, explorers!
I’m excited to announce that a massive collection of new insects is on its way — spread across several upcoming updates and DLCs — featuring 67 new species from all around the globe: Madagascar, Indonesia, Mexico, Europe, and beyond!
Each insect was professionally prepared and scanned using the Disc3D system by Dinarda, a high-end insect scanner that captures extraordinary detail. Every 3D model was created from 2,400 stacked images, each one composed of 72 perfectly focused shots taken with a liquid lens.
The result? Incredibly detailed insect models with:
2 million polygons
32K textures
But to bring them into the game, I’m optimizing each model to:
72K polygons
8K textures
Fully animated and game-ready
Get ready to meet these new creepy-crawly companions soon — and see the insect world like never before!
