# Quaternius Animated Guns Pack

Six animated low-poly guns (P90, revolver, pistol, shotgun, sniper rifle and similar) in FBX, OBJ and Blend. Handy for FPS or shooter prototypes needing fire and reload motion on the weapon itself. Weapon-only animation, no arms or character.

## Notes

- Page lists 6 animated, textured models (June 2018)
- Pair with a first-person arms rig of your own
- Attribution example (optional): `Animations by Quaternius (CC0)`
- Quaternius published a separate Quaternius Asset License (QAL v1.0, dated 2026-08-28) that says it governs future releases and that earlier versions are not changed retroactively. This 2018-2019 pack page still shows CC0. Keep a copy of the pack page or download date with your project files.

## Evidence

- Live pack page (2026-10-04): License field shows "CC0"; page text "free to use in personal and commercial projects"
- Live Quaternius FAQ (2026-10-04): "All models are under the CC0 License."

# Quaternius Animated Men Pack

Four rigged male low-poly human models with many animations, in FBX, OBJ and Blend. Small, quick to drop into a prototype or to harvest clips from. Models are textured and each has its own rig.

# Quaternius Background Posed Humans Pack

A set of 20 posed low-poly humans with 8 hairstyles in FBX, OBJ and Blend, for crowds and scene dressing. Static poses rather than motion clips, so it suits background filler more than gameplay characters.

## Notes

- Page lists 28 models (August 2018); description says 20 posed humans plus hairstyles
- Static poses; no locomotion or action clips
- Attribution example (optional): `Animations by Quaternius (CC0)`

# Quaternius Ultimate Animated Character Pack

50+ animated low-poly characters with many baked animations, shipped as FBX, OBJ and Blend. Useful as ready-to-play animated placeholders or as source clips to retarget. Animations are per-character, not on one shared rig, so retargeting needs work.

## Notes

- Page lists 52 animated, textured models; characters carry their own skeletons
- Not a universal rig: for retarget-friendly clips prefer the Universal Animation Library
- Attribution example (optional): `Animations by Quaternius (CC0)`
- Quaternius published a separate Quaternius Asset License (QAL v1.0, dated 2026-08-28) that says it governs future releases and that earlier versions are not changed retroactively. This 2018-2019 pack page still shows CC0. Keep a copy of the pack page or download date with your project files.

# Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland (AHN)

Dutch national height map built from airborne lidar, with raster grids (0.5 m and 5 m) and point clouds, downloadable per map sheet through PDOK. Excellent for flat polder and urban terrain. Marked needs-review: the AHN page says the data is free to use "without restrictions" but names no licence instrument this session, so the exact licence is unconfirmed.

## Notes

- AHN1, AHN2 and AHN3 are the open datasets named on the page. Newer releases (AHN4 and later) were not confirmed on that page this session.
- Subunits are the map sheets for the 0.5 m raster and the point clouds; units are used for the 5 m raster. Sheet layout files are on the page.
- Format names (GeoTIFF raster, LAZ point cloud) are from general knowledge of the PDOK downloads, not from the page; confirm on download.
- Before moving to active, find a licence statement (for example a CC0 or public domain mark) on a PDOK or Nationaal Georegister record and quote it.
- The licence page https://www.ahn.nl/licentie returned 404 this session.

## Evidence

- AHN open data page (2026-10-04), in Dutch: "De datasets van het AHN1, AHN2 en AHN3 zijn beschikbaar als Open Data."
- Same page (2026-10-04): "door iedereen gratis en zonder beperkingen te gebruiken is" (free for anyone to use without restrictions).
- No licence name located on the page; status is needs-review for that reason.

# NASA Deep Star Maps 2020

Full-sky star map built from 1.7 billion stars (Hipparcos-2, Tycho-2, Gaia DR2), supplied as linear half-float OpenEXR in plate carree projection from 4k up to 64k wide. A strong source for a space skybox. Marked needs-review: the page states credits but no licence of its own, and the data blends NASA output with ESA Gaia data and Sky and Telescope constellation figures.

## Notes

- Celestial (ICRF/J2000 RA and Dec) and galactic mappings are both offered; celestial is better for 3D, per the page. Boundary, figure and grid overlays are grayscale TIFF.
- Equirectangular, so it maps straight onto a sphere or skybox cube in most engines. Distortion near the poles is a projection effect, not galaxies.
- The 64k EXR is 3.8 GB; the 4k is 34 MB. Convert to a compressed cubemap for shipping.
- The page's credit line asks for NASA/Goddard SVS and for Gaia DR2: ESA/Gaia/DPAC. Constellation figures are credited to IAU / Alan MacRobert of Sky and Telescope; omit those overlays if you cannot clear them.
- NASA's media guidelines say NASA should be acknowledged and that content must not imply endorsement. See also [nasa-3d-resources](../3d/nasa-3d-resources.md).

## Evidence

- SVS page (2026-10-04): "Please give credit for this item to: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio."
- Same page (2026-10-04): "Gaia DR2: ESA/Gaia/DPAC"
- NASA media guidelines (2026-10-04): "NASA should be acknowledged as the source of the material."
- Same guidelines: "may be used without needing explicit permission" when used factually without implying endorsement. The SVS page has no per-item licence statement, so commercial status is unconfirmed here.
