Coming soon to the Unity Asset Store
560 stylized voxel prefabs for a whole town that moves: houses and shops, landmarks with working parts, a fairground with a turning Ferris wheel, a harbor and a steam train, stone stairs and lookouts, detailed ground tiles and 264 facade decorations. Wind, water, smoke and machinery animate in the shader, the stylized water sends waves up every beach, and one line of C# turns day into night.
Ships with two demo scenes: the town from the trailer, with about 10,000 placed prefabs, a fairground reached by stairs and paths, a harbor with floating boats and about 390 lamps, and a water example on a Unity Terrain island.
Voxel City is a complete stylized town in one pack: cottages, town houses and eight canal-gable row houses, eleven shops, civic buildings and eight landmarks, a fairground with a Ferris wheel, carousel and circus tent, twenty-one trees with the plants, hedges and topiary around them, street lamps, a working street clock, benches, bridges and fountains, market stalls, boats, docks, a steam train with a level crossing, stone stairs and lookouts, plus 26 detailed 4 × 4 m ground tiles, 264 facade decorations and the 55 terrain and water pieces of the demo world. Every prefab is ready to drop in, at real-world scale, with hand-shaded voxel textures and baked ambient occlusion.
Motion is the point. Trees and crops sway in the wind, flags, bunting and awnings flap, chimneys smoke, and windmill sails, clock hands, bells, wheels and the carousel turn on real pivots. The Ferris wheel turns with its gondolas hanging level, the lighthouse sweeps its beams across the harbor at night and the village well lowers its pail on command. Nearly all of it runs in the vertex shader, so nothing needs an Animator, and global channels for wind, mechanisms, water, lights and night change the whole town at once.
Stylized water. Add a sea, a lake, a river or a fountain basin from the GameObject menu and set the water level by moving it. One click on Bake The Coast reads your Unity Terrain and colliders and gives the sea waves that run up the beaches and drain back, with foam along quays and rocks; for close views, the Simulation mode simulates the surf around the camera on the GPU. Planar reflections mirror the quays, boats and lit windows, the water reflects the live sky, and boats and buoys ride the waves with Water Float, leaving a wake when they move.
When night falls, windows, lamps, fair bulbs and stained glass light up, and the lamp prefabs carry real lights that fade in with them. The VoxelLine tool draws wood fences, picket fences and strings of bunting along any curve. Characters, NPCs, traffic logic and gameplay scripts are not part of this pack (townsfolk and furnished interiors come as two separate packs, below); the train and the boats in the demo follow simple paths with the included VoxelMover component.
VoxelCity.SetNight(true, 3f) fades in lamps, windows and fair bulbs, and the included controller follows with sun, moon, ambient light and fogVoxelLine tool follows any curve, with gates and openings, in one merged meshGallery
All images are renders of the actual prefabs in Unity 6 with URP. The scene images show the demo town that ships with the pack; the category sheets print the name, triangle count and size of each prefab, at a compressed display scale so that small and large pieces fit side by side.
The gradient sky, color grading and floating light motes in the images are a presentation setup for the screenshots. The demo scene ships with its own procedural skybox and post-processing.

Compatibility
Universal Render Pipeline: required. The materials use the seven included URP shaders, which is where the animation lives. Turn on the Depth Texture (in the URP Asset or on the camera) for the water, fountains and lighthouse beams; the demo camera does it for you. The Forward+ renderer is recommended for scenes with many lamps.
Compute shaders: the water's floating objects, wakes and simulated surf use compute shaders; on WebGL the sea still draws with its beach waves.
Built-in and HDRP: not supported. The shaders are written for URP, so in another pipeline the materials render pink and nothing moves.
Performance: the animation costs no CPU per object. In big scenes the cost is in real lights and grass: lower the grass density or draw distance, switch off lamp lights you do not need and set the shadow distance in the URP Asset. Planar reflections can be switched off on each water.
Not included: characters, NPCs, traffic or gameplay scripts, audio, and the presentation sky and effects of the store images.
FAQ
Call VoxelCity.SetNight(true, 3f) from any script to fade to night in three seconds, or add the controller from GameObject > VoxelCity > Controller, which also handles the sun, moon, ambient light and fog. In the demo, press N. VoxelCity.SetLights(false, 1f) switches the lamps and windows on their own.
Yes, for the whole town at once. VoxelCity.SetAnimationsEnabled(false, 1.5f) freezes everything smoothly, VoxelCity.SetMechanismSpeed(0.5f, 2f) runs windmills, clocks and wheels at half speed, VoxelCity.WindStrength sets the wind and VoxelCity.SetChannel controls each channel (wind, swing, flags, cloth, water, smoke, flicker, mechanisms, lights, night).
The pivot of each moving part is its axis, and static batching merges meshes and loses it. Do not mark animated objects as Batching Static; the prefabs ship without static flags.
Use GameObject > VoxelCity > Line and pick Wood Fence, Picket Fence or Bunting, then click in the Scene view to add points. The posts, rails, pickets or pennants follow the curve, and marks turn a bay into a gate or an opening. The result is one merged mesh with a collider per bay; Bake To Mesh Asset in the inspector saves it as a normal mesh.
The 264 decorations are ordinary prefabs: drag them onto windows, doors, walls and roofs. Each family has its own model for every spot, and the buildings carry empty VXS_ attach points that mark where each kind fits.
Use GameObject > VoxelCity > Water and pick Sea, Lake, River or Fountain Basin, then move it up or down to set the water level. For a sea, press Bake The Coast in the inspector: it reads your Unity Terrain and colliders, and the waves find every beach. Add the Water Float component to a boat or a buoy to make it ride the waves.
Usually the Depth Texture. Water, fountains and the lighthouse beams read the scene depth, so turn it on in the URP Asset or on the camera.
No. The look and every animation come from the seven included URP shaders, so the pack needs the Universal Render Pipeline.
The demo scene ships with a procedural skybox and its own post-processing. The gradient sky, color grading and light motes in the store images are a presentation setup for the screenshots and are not part of the pack.
Yes. The pack is sold under the standard Unity Asset Store EULA, which allows use in commercial games. It does not allow reselling or redistributing the assets themselves.
Yes, and the store listing will say so too. The voxel models were built by an AI model (Anthropic Claude) that wrote modelling scripts for Blender; no text-to-3D or image-to-3D generator was used. The color palette, the URP and compute shaders, the C# components and the water system, the Unity prefabs, the demo scenes and the documentation were made by the same process. The publisher defined the town and its catalogue, made the production decisions and decides what is published. The images and videos on this page are renders of the pack in Unity; none was made with an AI image or video generator.
Pairs well with
