Low Poly Sailboat — Dynamic Wind & Sail System brings a fully simulated sailing experience to your project, not just a static boat model. Built for developers who want believable sailing mechanics without writing the physics and shader work from scratch.
Key Features
- Low poly sailboat model, optimized for performance and easy to reskin or recolor to match your art style
- Dynamic wind system that drives sail behavior in real time
- Vertex displacement shader for realistic sail luffing and bulging as wind direction and strength change
- Physics-driven sheeting angle calculations, boat speed and heeling angle depends on both windspeed and the current sheeting angle
- Easily customizable boat behaviour: whether you're a sailing nerd or just a game developer you will be able to easily customize the sailboat to your liking, using either only the basic section of parameters or the full advanced toolbox with more than 20 unique parameters.
Use It On Your Own Boat
The wind and sail system isn't locked to the included sailboat, instead it's built to be dropped onto your own models. Swap in your custom sail or boat mesh, add components and the vertex displacement shader and sheeting physics will drive it the same way. This makes the package a solid starting point for developers who already have a boat asset or custom art direction and just need the sailing mechanics underneath it, rather than a full replacement model.
Great For
Sailing and regatta games, open-world exploration titles with water traversal, casual or relaxing simulation games, fishing/adventure games, and any project that wants dynamic, physically-driven boat movement instead of scripted animation.
