# Complete Horse Riding System: Rideable Mount

> A drop-in Unreal Engine Blueprint system that makes 3DBear's (or your own) horses fully rideable — four gaits, jumping, swimming, combat moves and multiplayer replication. For UE devs building equestrian or open-world gameplay who want mount mechanics without coding them.

The Complete Horse Riding System is an easy-to-use Blueprint framework built for the top marketplace horse assets — Knight Horse, Horse Champion Jumper and Horse Herd (sold separately, not included). It saves development time and gives players a realistic, immersive riding experience with seamless integration and high-quality animations.

Riders are modular Actor Components, so the system drops onto your own characters. Blueprints are grouped, labelled and commented, and network interactions (replication + RPCs) are extensively tested for multiplayer.

## Specifications

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Rig | Demo horse on a custom skeleton + simple Control Rig; attach your own models to the skeleton to drive the full system. |
| Animations | Four gaits (walk, trot, canter, gallop), jumping & falling, swimming, rearing, kicking, dash / rapid-stop / dive, ragdoll death, plus additive idles (blink, breathe, ears). |
| Formats | Unreal Engine |
| Engines | Unreal Engine 5.0–5.7 (Enhanced Input required) |
| Multiplayer | Network replicated — replication + RPCs, performance-tested |
| Blueprints | 3 Actor Components, 2 Interfaces, 2 Classes, 2 Anim Blueprints, 3 Enums |
| Control Rigs | Leg-trace (terrain adaptation) + reins (attach to rider's hand) |
| Audio | Custom SFX via MetaSound + SoundCue |
| Horses | Sold separately — drives 3DBear's horses or your own models |

The Blueprint riding layer (3 Actor Components, 2 Interfaces, 2 Classes, 2 Anim Blueprints, 3 Enums), two Control Rigs (leg-trace terrain adaptation and reins), custom SFX via MetaSound/SoundCue, and a demo horse. Horses are sold separately.

## What buyers say

- ★★★★★ "I really love this system. It's easy to use and customize with your own horse and rider models, the blueprint code is beautifully assembled and easy to understand and the support on their Discord channel is fantastic! It also supports multiplayer, so it's really a no-brainer. Worth every penny. I highly recommend this system!" — TorQueMoD · Fab
- ★★★★★ "I recommend 3D Bear products to everybody who asks me about horse meshes. This riding system was something that I didn't know I needed until I bought it. It's wonderful having a riding system that works specifically with these horses. The features included are great. I particularly like the horse swimming. It looks quite realistic. Getting horse reins to look good has been plaguing my current project and I will be using the rein setup from this project as an example to work from. Overall, I really like it. I think it's a great riding system appealing to equestrians." — LadySagitar · Fab
- ★★★★★ "I'm really excited about this horse riding system. It works perfectly with the author's existing horse models which are next level, the artwork and animations are amazing! Support on Discord is excellent, every issue I raised has been quickly resolved. This horse riding system is a must-have for any project involving horses, offering great compatibility with top-tier, game-ready horse models." — JohnoIT · Fab
- ★★★★★ "Brilliant horse riding system. You can even easily control the stirrups by your Rider's feet so they fit just right. Great job!" — Discover Awesome · Fab
- ★★★★★ "I really deeply researched everything and this Horse Mount system is the most realistic and right looking Horse you can get!! 10/10 its perfect!!" — laura.gula · Fab

## How to add a rideable horse in Unreal Engine 5

1. **Install the Riding System** — Add the Complete Horse Riding System to your Unreal Engine 5.0–5.7 project and make sure Enhanced Input is enabled (only UE 5.0 needs it switched on manually).
2. **Add a horse** — Use the included demo horse, or attach one of 3DBear's horses (Knight Horse, Horse Champion Jumper, Horse Herd or The Viking Horse) — or your own model — to the provided skeleton.
3. **Attach the rider component** — Riders are modular Actor Components, so drop the rider component onto your character to gain mount, dismount and control logic without writing code.
4. **Configure gaits and controls** — Wire up the four gaits (walk, trot, canter, gallop), jumping, swimming and combat moves through the grouped, commented Blueprints, and test replication if you're building multiplayer.

The animations match the breed of the horse, it moves how I would expect it to. The gallop is very good. The trot is well done. Idle animations are also nicely done.

## What buyers say

- ★★★★★ "We are creating realistic scenes that take place in rural Iceland. We needed to add horses, but the Icelandic breed has been uniquely preserved here since the viking age. This breed is shorter but sturdier than other horses, so we could not use any of the classic horse models. We were therefore absolutely thrilled to finally come across this asset that had just been added to the store! This model has been meticulously constructed to resemble the Icelandic horse and it fits right into our Icelandic nature. The animations look very convincing, immediately bringing the horses to life. There is a very good variety of animations, including several gaits. The artist is very responsive, helpful and polite. Overall, excellent value. Highly recommended." — hanneshogn · Unity Asset Store
- ★★★★★ "The Viking Horse asset is exceptionally well-made. The models have excellent visual quality, and the animations feel natural and fluid, which is crucial for any game set in a historical or Nordic setting. One of the highlights is the developer support: they respond quickly and are committed to solving issues. In my case, there was a shader problem affecting the color grading of some horse items — they fixed it promptly and pushed an update. That kind of support really inspires confidence. The visual fidelity of the horses is impressive, from the musculature to the fur detail. Overall, this is a fantastic asset: great visuals, reliable animations, and responsive technical support. Highly recommended." — caestevezh · Unity Asset Store
- ★★★★★ "This is a perfect asset for my game project, the animations are clean, realistic and the models are top tier. Everything is easy to set up. The seller answers very quickly and is always open to help. I really recommend this asset for anyone interested in creating their own horse game! :)" — Juliaur · Unity Asset Store

# Stylized Rat Critter Mob with Reactive AI

> A cheap, mobile/VR-friendly stylized rat with simple reactive AI (roam → flee → die), 7 animations and 3 LODs, plus a Control Rig for adding your own animations. For populating UE5 worlds with ambient critters.

Stylized Rat Critter Mob is a drag-and-drop ambient critter for Unreal Engine, built to populate open-world and dungeon environments with small reactive wildlife. A single hand-painted mesh ships with five fur-colour variants via material instances, three LODs, a ragdoll configuration, and a tunable Character Blueprint that handles roaming, threat response, and death — no scripting required to drop it in.

The mesh is 1,724 verts at LOD0 (roughly 2K triangles), stepping down to 1,193 at LOD1 and 577 at LOD2, making it suitable for PC, mobile, and VR targets. Seven animations cover three idles, eating, slow movement, fast movement, and death, with both root-motion and in-place variants. The 2K texture set comprises seven files: three active in the material (diffuse, normal, PBR) and five albedo maps for the colour variants. A modular Control Rig and IKRig are included for authoring additional animations; these require Unreal Engine 5.6 or later. The asset is compatible with Unreal Engine 5.3 through 5.7.

The AI Blueprint is an intentionally simple, readable baseline — roam randomly, flee when a threat enters range, die on low damage — designed to be extended with custom behaviour trees rather than used as a production-complete system. NavMesh coverage is required at runtime. On projects targeting UE 5.3–5.5, only the character mesh and animations are included; the AI Blueprint and Control Rig are available from UE 5.6 onward.

## Specifications

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Geometry | ~2k tris at LOD0. Verts: LOD0 1,724 / LOD1 1,193 / LOD2 577. |
| Textures | 7 textures at 2K (3 active in the material: diffuse, normal, PBR; 5 albedo maps for colour variants). 1 material, 5 material instances. |
| LODs | 3 LODs |
| Rig | Custom game-ready skeleton (not Epic/MetaHuman). Ragdoll setup included. Modular Control Rig + IKRig (Control Rig requires UE 5.6+). |
| Animations | 7 (3 idles, eating, slow move, fast move, death). Root motion + in-place variants. |
| Formats | Unreal Engine, Blender, GLB/glTF, USDZ |
| Engines | Unreal Engine 5.3–5.7 (AI Blueprint + Control Rig require UE 5.6+) |

## FAQ

### Which Unreal Engine versions does this asset support, and are there any feature restrictions?

The asset supports Unreal Engine 5.3 through 5.7. On 5.3–5.5 you receive the character mesh, skeleton, and animations only. The AI Character Blueprint, Animation Blueprint, and modular Control Rig are included only for UE 5.6 and above.

### What is included in the package?

One rat mesh with three LODs (1,724 / 1,193 / 577 verts), seven 2K textures (three active in the material plus five albedo maps for fur-colour variants), one material with five material instances, seven animations (three idles, eating, slow movement, fast movement, death), a ragdoll configuration, a modular Control Rig with IKRig (UE 5.6+ only), and an AI Character Blueprint with Animation Blueprint (UE 5.6+ only).

### How does the AI behaviour work, and what does the level need to support it?

The Character Blueprint implements a simple three-state loop: roam randomly, flee when a threat enters proximity, die on receiving low damage. NavMesh coverage is required in your level for the roaming and flee logic to function. The Blueprint is intentionally kept readable and editable — it is a starting baseline for custom behaviour trees, not a production-complete AI system.

### Is this asset suitable for mobile and VR, and does it include LODs?

Yes. Three LODs are included (LOD0 ~2K tris, stepping down to LOD1 and LOD2), and the asset has been verified on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Oculus, SteamVR/HTC Vive, HoloLens 2, and Gear VR. The hand-painted 2K textures fit stylized projects across a wide range of target platforms.

# Stylized Rabbit Critter Mob with Reactive AI

> A cheap, mobile/VR-friendly stylized rabbit with reactive AI (roam → flee → die), 7 animations and 4 LODs, plus a Control Rig for adding your own animations. For populating UE5 worlds with ambient wildlife.

Stylized Rabbit Critter Mob is a hand-painted, game-ready bunny character for Unreal Engine 5, designed to populate open-world, forest, and stylized environments with ambient wildlife. The package ships five fur colour variants, four LODs covering the full distance range from 2,200 down to 368 triangles, and a drag-and-drop reactive AI Blueprint, making it a compact solution for scenes that need living background fauna without a heavy performance budget.

The mesh uses a custom game-ready skeleton with a ragdoll configuration and ships seven animations — three idles, eating, slow movement, fast movement, and death — available in both root-motion and in-place variants. A Modular Control Rig and IKRig are included for creating additional animations without re-rigging from scratch. Two Blueprints are provided (Character Blueprint + Animation Blueprint). Network Replicated is not included. Supported engine versions are UE 5.3–5.7; the AI Blueprint and Control Rig features require UE 5.6 or later.

The reactive AI uses a tunable Character Blueprint rather than a production behavior tree: the rabbit roams the map, flees from the player or hostile actors on proximity, and transitions to a ragdoll death state when low-damage hits land. A baked NavMesh is required for movement. The baseline logic is intentionally simple and readable so it can serve as a starting point for custom behavior extensions.

## Specifications

## FAQ

### Which engine versions are supported, and are there any version-specific caveats?

The asset targets Unreal Engine 5.3–5.7. The core mesh, textures, ragdoll, and seven animations work on all supported versions. The AI Character Blueprint and the Modular Control Rig both require UE 5.6 or later; on earlier versions within the supported range those features will not be available.

### What is included in the package?

The package includes the rabbit skeletal mesh with four LODs (LOD0 2,200 / LOD1 1,220 / LOD2 664 / LOD3 368 tris), five fur colour variants via material instances, hand-painted 2K textures (normal + PBR), seven animations (root motion and in-place), a physics/ragdoll configuration, a Modular Control Rig and IKRig, and two Blueprints (Character Blueprint with reactive AI logic and an Animation Blueprint). Network replication is not included.

### How does the reactive AI work, and what setup is required?

The AI Blueprint implements three states: roaming the map autonomously, fleeing when a player or hostile actor enters proximity, and dying (with ragdoll) when low-damage hits accumulate. A baked NavMesh must be present in the level for pathfinding to function. The Blueprint is a straightforward, readable baseline rather than a production behavior tree, so it can be extended or replaced with custom logic without significant rework.

### Is this asset suitable for mobile and VR, and how do the LODs help?

Yes. The four LODs step the rabbit from 2,200 tris at close range down to 368 tris at distance, keeping the per-instance GPU cost low enough for mobile and VR use. The listed supported platforms include iOS, Android, Oculus, SteamVR/HTC Vive, Gear VR, and HoloLens 2, in addition to desktop and console targets.

# Stylized Squirrel Critter Mob with Reactive AI

> A performance-first stylized squirrel with an event-driven ambient-wildlife AI (roam → flee → die → respawn), 14 animations, 4 LODs, and 6 fur colours. The same AI drives any custom critter via a species Data Asset — for filling UE5 worlds with living background fauna.

Stylized Squirrel Critter Mob is a game-ready, low-poly squirrel for Unreal Engine 5, built to fill open-world, survival, cozy/farming, and forest scenes with living background fauna. Six fur colour variants — red, brown, dark brown, black, gold, and white — ship as material instances over one master material, and the squirrel uses a single material slot, so each animal is one draw call. Four LODs step down from 4,026 triangles / 2,536 vertices, keeping large mobs cheap on screen.

The skeletal mesh rides a custom 35-bone skeleton with an IK Rig for UE's IK Retargeter and a Control Rig for posing and animating in-engine. Fourteen animation sequences at 30 fps cover alerted, eating, four idles, crawl, trot, slow jump, sprint, sprint-to-idle and idle-to-sprint transitions, death, and sprint-to-death, with root-motion and in-place variants. All colour variants share a single 2K texture set — the normal and packed ORM maps stay, only the albedo swaps. Everything is 100% Blueprint with no C++ and no plugin dependencies, and the asset supports Unreal Engine 5.3 through 5.8.

The ambient-wildlife AI is event-driven with no per-frame Ticks: each critter only executes at movement-leg boundaries (pick target → AIMoveTo → callback → pause timer), while a single Director actor runs all distance checks on a pulse using distance-squared math — no AIPerception components. Squirrels roam the NavMesh, flee from approaching threats to a safe distance, ignore static threats, die from any damage, and respawn after a set time. The system is not squirrel-only: a species Data Asset lets the same Blueprints drive any custom critter with no Blueprint edits. Setup is three steps — place BP_Critter actors with their Species set to DA_Squirrel, add one BP_CritterDirector, and make sure the level has a NavMeshBoundsVolume.

## Specifications

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Geometry | 4,026 tris / 2,536 verts. One material slot — a single draw call per squirrel. |

| LODs | 4 LODs |
| Rig | Custom 35-bone skeleton (not Epic/MetaHuman). IK Rig for UE's IK Retargeter + Control Rig for in-engine posing and animation. |

## FAQ

### Which Unreal Engine versions does this asset support?

The asset supports Unreal Engine 5.3 through 5.8, distributed as an asset package. Everything — including the ambient-wildlife AI — is 100% Blueprint with no C++ and no plugin dependencies, so no extra modules or source builds are needed.

### What is included in the package?

One squirrel skeletal mesh with four LODs (4,026 triangles / 2,536 vertices), a custom 35-bone skeleton, an IK Rig for UE's IK Retargeter, a Control Rig for in-engine posing and animation, 14 animations at 30 fps with root-motion and in-place variants, one master material with six fur-colour instances sharing a single 2K texture set, the Blueprint AI system (BP_Critter, BP_CritterDirector, and a species Data Asset), and a playable demo level.

### How does the ambient-wildlife AI work, and what does a level need?

The AI is event-driven with no per-frame Ticks: each critter only runs logic at movement-leg boundaries (pick a target, AIMoveTo, callback, pause timer), and one BP_CritterDirector actor does all distance checks on a pulse using distance-squared math — no AIPerception components. Squirrels roam the NavMesh, flee to a safe distance when a threat approaches (static threats are ignored), die from any damage, and respawn after a set time. Setup is three steps: place BP_Critter actors with their Species set to DA_Squirrel, add one BP_CritterDirector, and give the level a NavMeshBoundsVolume.

### Can the AI drive animals other than the squirrel?

Yes — the system is deliberately not squirrel-only. Species are defined in a Data Asset, so any custom critter mesh and animation set can plug into the same BP_Critter/Director system with no Blueprint edits. Performance is the design goal: near-zero game-thread cost, one draw call per squirrel, and four LODs keep large ambient mobs viable, and the listing pitches it for mobile and VR projects (Fab's listed target platforms are Windows, Mac, Linux, PS4, Xbox One, Oculus, SteamVR / HTC Vive, and Gear VR).

## FAQ

### Which Unreal Engine versions are supported?

Unreal Engine 5.0 through 5.8. No other engines are supported — the rig targets the Epic skeleton and the asset ships as a native UE package.

### What is included in the package?

A fully rigged character mesh with modular, changeable outfit pieces; flexible material instances for colour customization; 49 textures (including optional micro textures for close-up renders) across 32 materials and instances; and ARKit facial morph targets. A base body mesh is included. No animations are bundled.

### Does it come with animations?

No. The package is a rig only — it contains no bundled animations. Because the character is rigged to the Epic skeleton with IK bones, you can retarget UE Mannequin animations or any compatible animation pack directly onto her.

### What is the UDIM / Virtual Texturing requirement?

The model uses UDIMs, so Virtual Texturing must be enabled in your Unreal project settings before importing. This is a one-time project-level toggle.

# Streamer girl. Sci-fi stylized toon webcam performer

> A toon-stylized VTuber/streamer girl character for UE5 with 52 ARKit blendshapes (Live Link Face), Epic-skeleton rig, modular outfits and 2 hairstyles. For VTubing, streaming-themed games, and dress-up; UE Mannequin-retargetable.

Streamer Girl is a stylized, hand-painted character for Unreal Engine 5, designed for VTuber setups, streaming-themed games, dress-up applications, and any project that calls for a toon-rendered female performer. The rig follows the Epic Skeleton with IK bones and two additional breast bones, making it directly compatible with UE Mannequin retargeting — no bundled animations are included; the expectation is that buyers supply or retarget their own.

The character ships with 52 Apple ARKit morph targets on the head, tested with Live Link Face in UE5 and compatible with FaceWare, VRChat, MMD, and general facial mocap pipelines. Skin and clothing assets are packed on UDIMs using Virtual Texture Streaming — Virtual Texturing must be enabled in Project Settings or the body texture will not display. The package uses 6 materials (18 instances) across 25 textures at resolutions up to 4096, with custom stylized shaders featuring fake anisotropy on hair and clothing, and a parallax eye shader with adjustable iris colour, pupil size, and depth.

The wardrobe is fully modular: every clothing piece can be attached or removed independently, and the full nude body is included. Two hairstyles are provided — long hair (with a morph target to fit under the headset) and buns — each with separable strand meshes so they can be mixed across bases. Static-mesh accessories include a headset and bracelet. The body mesh is censored per Unreal Engine marketplace policy; a full uncensored version is available from the seller by direct request. No LODs are included. The three demo Blueprints bundled (ABP_Mocap, BP_StreamerGirl_Costume1_Demo, BP_StreamerGirl_Modular_Demo) are illustrative only and not production-ready game logic.

## Specifications

| Spec | Value |

## FAQ

### Which Unreal Engine versions are supported?

Unreal Engine 5.0 through 5.8. There is no Unity version and no Unreal Engine 4 version.

### Does it include animations?

No bundled animations are included. The character is rigged to the Epic Skeleton with IK bones, so any UE Mannequin animation library can be retargeted onto it. The three included Blueprints (ABP_Mocap, BP_StreamerGirl_Costume1_Demo, BP_StreamerGirl_Modular_Demo) are demo setups only.

### What is included in the wardrobe, and can pieces be mixed and matched?

Every clothing item is an independent mesh that can be attached or removed at runtime: hoodie, neon top, mini tube top, pants, tight sleeves, and shoes. Two hairstyles (long hair and buns) ship with separable strand meshes so strands can be applied across either base. The headset and bracelet are included as static meshes. The long hair has a morph target so it fits under the headset. All colours — clothes, eyes, skin, hair — are adjustable via material instances and an ID map.

### What is the UDIM / Virtual Texturing requirement?

Skin and clothing textures are packed onto UDIMs using Unreal's Virtual Texture Streaming. If the body texture appears missing, go to Project Settings and enable Virtual Texturing. Materials may need simplification for mobile targets. A directional map for hair is supplied but not wired in the original project.

# Low Poly Egypt Desert Fantasy Environment

> A cheap stylized low-poly ancient-Egypt environment kit for Unity (mobile-first). Walls, pyramids, obelisks, a sphinx, oasis and more, plus post-processing — for building desert/Egypt scenes fast.

Low Poly Egypt Desert Fantasy Environment is a stylized, mobile-first environment kit for Unity covering the key landmarks of an ancient-Egypt desert scene. The asset targets Android, iOS, and WebGL at primary build targets, though the geometry and shading are equally usable on PC and console to achieve a deliberate low-poly aesthetic.

The package delivers a full demo scene of 16,800 triangles (excluding Unity Terrain), assembled from eleven distinct prop types: six wall variants, five obelisks, two pyramid sizes, five stone tile types, two grass meshes, The Great Sphinx, an Oasis Lake, an Entry Arch, a Stone Pile, a Tomb, and a Tomb Plate. A Post Processing Stack profile and three colour-grading textures are bundled to reproduce the lit look shown in the screenshots. The asset was created for Unity 2018.2.4, before URP and HDRP existed as standard pipeline options; projects on a modern Unity version may need to re-configure materials for their render pipeline.

## Specifications

# Realistic 2D Explosions pack + Nuclear Blasts

> A pack of 11 realistic 2D explosion sprite-sheet effects (including nuclear blasts), PhoenixFD-simulated, with prefabs + demo scene for Unity. For 2D/2.5D games needing high-quality explosion VFX.

Realistic 2D Explosions pack + Nuclear Blasts is a sprite-sheet VFX collection for Unity containing 11 explosion effects across three scales: 4 small, 3 large, and 4 nuclear blasts. Every effect was physically simulated using PhoenixFD to produce accurate volumetric smoke, fireball, and pressure-wave behaviour. The pack targets 2D and 2.5D games where billboard-style explosion effects are needed — sprite sheets are platform-agnostic and can be compressed for mobile targets.

Each small and large explosion occupies a single 4096×4096 sprite sheet with 256×256 individual sprites across 256 frames (approximately 8.5 seconds at 30 fps). The four nuclear blasts use two sheets per effect (4096×4096 and 2048×2048) and run to 320 frames (approximately 10.6 seconds at 30 fps). The pack ships 11 ready-to-use prefabs — one per effect — and a demo scene. It was authored against Unity 2019.2.0; projects on significantly newer Unity versions or render pipelines may require minor upgrade work.

## Specifications

| Spec | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Geometry | 2D sprite-sheet asset — no mesh geometry. |
| Textures | 4096×4096 spritesheets. Small/big explosions: 256×256 sprite, 256 frames (~8.5s @30fps). Nuclear explosions: 4096×4096 + 2048×2048 sheet, 256×256 sprite, 320 frames (~10.6s @30fps). Compressible for any modern platform. |
| Formats | Unity |
| Engines | Unity 2019.2.0+ |
| Contents | 11 explosion effects: 4 small, 3 big, 4 nuclear |
| Prefabs | 11 ready-to-use prefabs (one per explosion) + demo scene |
| Simulation | Each explosion physically simulated with PhoenixFD |
| Pipeline | 2D sprites — pipeline-agnostic. Unity 2019.2.0 era; may need upgrade for modern projects. |
| File size | 108.5 MB |

## Where to buy

## FAQ

### Which Unity versions and render pipelines does this pack support?

The pack was published for Unity 2019.2.0. Because it uses 2D sprite sheets rather than shader-based effects, it is render-pipeline-agnostic (Built-in, URP, and HDRP can all display sprites). Projects on significantly newer Unity versions may encounter minor upgrade prompts but should not require material changes.

### What effects are included?

11 explosion effects in three categories: 4 small explosions, 3 large explosions, and 4 nuclear blasts. Each comes with a ready-to-use prefab (11 total), and a demo scene is included.

### What is the sprite-sheet format and how can I use it?

Small and large explosions each use one 4096×4096 sprite sheet with 256×256 individual sprites and 256 frames (~8.5 seconds at 30 fps). Nuclear blasts use two sheets per effect (4096×4096 and 2048×2048) with 256×256 sprites across 320 frames (~10.6 seconds at 30 fps). The sheets can be compressed in Unity's texture import settings for mobile or low-memory targets.

### How were the explosion effects created?

Each explosion was simulated using PhoenixFD, a physically-based fluid-dynamics solver, to capture realistic volumetric smoke, fireball expansion, and pressure-wave detail.

# What makes a horse asset 'game-ready'? Anatomy, rigging and LODs

> A game-ready horse asset is one you can drop into Unreal Engine or Unity and use immediately — anatomically accurate, fully rigged, animated and LOD-optimized, not just a static model.

## Anatomy: why it matters

A horse reads as "wrong" the instant its proportions or gait are off, because players know what a
real horse looks like. Anatomically accurate models — correct skeleton proportions, muscle
deformation and footfall timing — are what separate a believable mount from a hobby-horse. It is
the reason *The Mane Quest* singled out [3DBear's horses](/horses) for anatomical accuracy.

## Rigging and animation

Game-ready means the model is already rigged and animated: a clean skeleton, weighted deformation,
and a usable animation set (idles, the four gaits, transitions, jumping). Without it you are paying
an animator before the asset does anything. Every 3DBear horse ships rigged and animated, ready to
drive with the [Complete Horse Riding System](/riding-system). For the full setup walkthrough, see [how to add a rideable horse in UE5](/devlog/how-to-add-rideable-horse-ue5).

## LODs and performance

A herd of horses is expensive to render. **Levels of Detail (LODs)** swap in cheaper meshes at a
distance so a crowd does not tank the frame rate. Game-ready assets include LODs out of the box; a
raw sculpt does not.

## What to look for when buying

Check for: anatomical accuracy, a rig on a standard skeleton, a real animation set, and built-in
LODs. Compare the options on our
[best horse assets for Unreal Engine 5](/best/horse-assets-unreal-engine) page, or start with
[Horse Herd](/assets/horse-herd) or the armored [Knight Horse](/assets/knight-horse).

# How to add a rideable horse in Unreal Engine 5

> To add a rideable horse in Unreal Engine 5, import a rigged horse model and pair it with the Complete Horse Riding System — a drop-in Blueprint pack that adds mounting, four gaits, jumping and swimming without any C++.

## What you need

To make a horse rideable in Unreal Engine 5 you need two things: a rigged, animated **horse model**
and a **riding layer** that handles mounting, movement and input. 3DBear's
[Complete Horse Riding System](/riding-system) is that layer — a drop-in Blueprint pack that drives
any of [3DBear's horses](/horses) (or your own model) with no C++. Not sure the horse itself is up to scratch? See [what makes a horse asset game-ready](/devlog/game-ready-horse-asset-anatomy-rigging-lods).

## Step by step

1. **Import the horse.** Add a 3DBear horse such as [Horse Herd](/assets/horse-herd) to your
   project; it arrives rigged and animated on a UE-compatible skeleton.
2. **Add the riding system.** Drop the riding-system Blueprints in. Riders are modular Actor
   Components, so they attach to your existing character.
3. **Attach and mount.** Point the rider component at the horse and mount — you immediately have
   four gaits (walk, trot, canter, gallop), jumping, swimming and dismount.
4. **Tune input.** The system uses Enhanced Input (UE 5.0 needs it enabled manually); remap the
   mount, gait and jump actions to your scheme.

## Multiplayer and custom horses

The riding system is network-replicated — replication and RPCs are performance-tested for
multiplayer. Bringing your own horse? Attach it to the provided skeleton and the same gaits,
jumping and combat moves work through the included Blueprints. See the full feature breakdown on
the [riding-system page](/riding-system).
