What Quaternius is
Quaternius is a web catalog of game assets, including 3D models, animations, textures, source files, characters, environments, props, weapons, vehicles, and game kits. Its packs cover categories such as nature, buildings, animated assets, and vehicles. Free asset downloads are available for personal, educational, and commercial projects under the QAL license. The license allows users to modify assets and incorporate them into products without attribution. It does not permit reselling or redistributing the assets themselves as standalone assets, packs, stock files, or templates.
Pack contents and formats vary. For example, the Ultimate Animated Animal Pack contains 12 animals, each with more than 12 unique animations, and is provided in FBX, OBJ, glTF, and Blend formats. The FAQ says models can be edited in Blender by opening Blend files or importing FBX files. Most packs use an atlas texture; some use individual materials for color variations. Patrons can receive monthly credits to claim Source kits, and the site advertises all packs in one file and exclusive models. Paid monthly pledge tiers start at $10 a month. Users can submit pack ideas, join Discord for release notices and sneak peeks, or request custom assets through the creator’s Patreon page. Assets are provided as-is without warranties.
