Environment planning
Use the guides to work out what a scene actually needs before filling it with props.
Read guides →Resources
Resources for indie game developers.
A deliberately small collection of practical paths around environment planning, 3D asset selection and production. No paid recommendation is presented as neutral advice.
Ready-made assets
Browse coherent collections when you need production-ready props instead of commissioning everything from scratch.
Browse catalog →Missing piece
If the catalog nearly fits but lacks one specific asset, a small custom request may be cheaper than rebuilding the whole set.
Custom 3D →Affiliate-ready, not affiliate-filled.
This page can later include carefully selected third-party tools only after their current programs, terms and usefulness are verified. No affiliate account or tracking link is connected automatically.
Free tool
Generate a fantasy scene prop checklist.
Plan a forge, armory, ritual room, workshop or camp before buying or commissioning assets.
Smaller paid tasks

Lower-scope work can be easier to start than a full custom commission.
3D model cleanup & export
From $15 for existing-model preparation.
