8 Schools of Fish - GPU Animated Fish

Asset description

8 Animated Fish Schools is a complete, ready-to-use package for populating underwater environments in Unity 6. It includes 8 distinct fish species forming realistic schools of 100 fish each, powered by highly optimized rendering tech. Each fish follows its own baked movement path while the swimming motion is generated entirely by a GPU vertex animation shader. With no bones or skinned meshes used, the package delivers ultra-low CPU overhead and exceptional performance. Included Fish Schools (100 fish per school): Bannerfish Bicolor Angelfish Blue Tang Caranx Blue Caranx Silver Fusiliers Powder Blue Tangs Yellow Tangs Key Features: GPU Vertex Animation: Swimming motions are handled directly on the GPU via vertex shaders, removing the need for CPU-heavy bone rigs or skinned meshes. Baked Movement Paths: Each individual fish swims along a baked, natural trajectory to create convincing, organic schooling behavior. Expandable Count: Easily add more fish to scale up your underwater scenes as needed. Maximum Efficiency: High-performance rendering suitable for performance-critical projects and dense underwater levels. Unity 6 Ready: Fully tested and configured for Unity 6.
