Earns its place in the Superhive library for pairing a broad species catalog with real-time simulation rules that update live in the viewport, with no baking step involved.
Fauna Master Pro populates Blender scenes with birds, insects, land animals, and fish drawn from a library of 150+ species that spans forests, oceans, skies, and cities. Animals respond instantly to terrain, obstacles, and simulation rules, and behavior updates live as you adjust settings, with no baking or caching required.
A set of simulation rules shapes how groups move. Self-collision keeps individuals separated in flocks, swarms, fish schools, and herds, while goal seeking, avoidance, scared responses, and attraction control how agents chase targets, steer around obstacles, flee threats, or gather at points of interest. Curve follow and drawn viewport flight paths guide formations along bezier curves, and Fast Switch toggles between crawling, flying, and hybrid modes.
The add-on ships in Lite, Base, and Full/Pro tiers, ranging from 35 to 217 unique assets. Models are built for medium- and far-distance shots and skip particle-based fur to limit performance loss. Proxy preview mode uses a point-cloud or proxy display to keep large crowds animating smoothly, even with thousands of agents.
🦅Fauna Master Pro is best for populating Blender scenes with simulated wildlife for medium- and far-distance shots, including flocks, swarms, fish schools, herds, and idle background creatures.
🦅Fauna Master Pro is completely free to download and use.
Fauna Master Pro runs its animations, behaviors, and environments on real-time simulation inside Blender, so no baking or caching step is needed. Animals respond instantly to terrain, obstacles, and simulation rules, and their behavior updates live as you change settings. That covers rules like self-collision, goal seeking, avoidance, scared responses, attraction, curve follow, and collision, along with Fast Switch between crawling, flying, and hybrid modes. Because everything simulates live, you can adjust direction, speed, and strength and see the result without waiting on a cache rebuild.
Fauna Master Pro is a content-heavy add-on, and its size depends on the tier. The Full/Pro version is about 10 GB, made up of the core add-on plus four content packs. The Base version is roughly 7 GB, and the Lite version is around 2 GB. Downloads are split into five separate files for flexible installation and updates, so you can pull down and refresh pieces individually. Plan for the disk space that matches the tier you choose before installing.
Fauna Master Pro assets are designed for medium- and far-distance shots. To avoid heavy performance loss, the models do not include particle-based fur, so they suit backgrounds, crowds, and mid-to-distant framing rather than tight close-ups. Proxy preview mode adds a lightweight point-cloud or proxy display that keeps large crowds animating smoothly, even in scenes with thousands of agents. If a shot fills the frame with a single close creature, keep that detail level in mind when planning the scene.
Fauna Master Pro comes in three tiers with different asset counts. The Lite package includes 35 unique assets, or 46 when counting animation variants. The Base package adds 73 more for 108 unique assets, or 153 with variants. The Full/Pro package layers on another 109 for 217 unique assets in total, or 287 with animation variants. Species span insects, land animals, birds, and fish, with 150+ animal species across the library for forest, ocean, sky, and city scenes.
Fauna Master Pro is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and packaging can change over time, and it ships in Lite, Base, and Full/Pro tiers with different asset counts and download sizes, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. That page also covers the five-file download structure used for installation and updates, which lets you grab and refresh the tier and content packs you need.
