Grass tuft free 3D model & sprite sheet

A tuft of curved, pointed grass blades in two greens, fanned out from one spot. In the Sway loop the blades bend together in a gust and spring back. At 48 pixels from a three-quarter view, it is the basic ground detail you scatter everywhere to make flat tiles feel alive.

Each blade is swept along a curve as a thin closed shell rather than a flat plane, so it renders cleanly from any side without vanishing edge-on. The blades are grouped into fans, and shape keys bend them for the sway. The two tones come from the Grass and Light leaf materials.

Grass tufts are the most repeated prop in many top-down and side-view games. Use them to mark walkable meadow, hide small pickups, or react when the player walks through. Place them in loose clusters rather than a grid, and offset the start frame of each so they do not sway in lockstep.

For dry or autumn grass, turn the two greens towards yellow and brown, or towards a pale blue-green for a frozen tundra. The tuft pairs with the flower patch and bush for ground cover, and softens the base of the oak tree, rock set and fence.
