Blocked out an entire FOB in an afternoon. Interiors are a huge bonus — most kits skip them. Snap grid actually works.
Strataforge staff: Thanks! Interior modules were the most requested addition in v2.

About this release
Desert Strider was built for real production, not a demo reel. Every mesh is on-grid, pivots are placed for fast assembly, and naming follows a predictable convention so it drops into an existing project without a cleanup pass.
Materials use packed ORM maps and a small number of master materials with instance overrides, keeping draw calls low while staying easy to re-skin. Where it matters, high-poly sources are included so you can rebake or push detail further.
Updates within the current major version are free, and the changelog below tracks every fix and addition. If something doesn't fit your pipeline, support comes directly from the author.

Clean topology, sensible pivots, and the LODs hold up at distance. Dropped straight into our production scene with no retargeting.
R. NakamuraRated 4 of 5Apr 2026Verified purchase
Great value. Would love a few more damaged variants, but what ships is production-ready and the textures are crisp.
