Alternative 3D models and textures for the blind dogs done from zero.
I do NOT allow using these 3D models and textures in mods for other games. It is prohibited. You do it, I will DMCA. Do not come asking for permission, at the moment I do not plan to give it.
Disclaimer: This is my real first mod for STALKER Anomaly. If anything isn't working, report it and please be patient. I am a 3D artist, so I don't know all about coding also. I am getting used to Blender's tools and the export tools for the XRay Engine from there.
Thank you to the Anomaly discord for the help provided, and to the Anomaly Modding Book for all the information.
Description
A simple addon which changes the 3D models and textures of the blind dogs from the game. These models and textures were done by me using ZBrush, Maya, Topogun and Substance Painter.
The idea was to remake the entire 3D model with better quality, yet keeping to the original models and lore, and also adding what I personally believe would be life in The Zone for these dogs. I also wanted to keep similar textures to the originals, so I used similar colours.
The 3D model itself has more polygons than the original model, but it is optimised for games. The textures are all in 4k, but if you install through MO2 you can choose a smaller resolution.
The scales of the models remain the same as they are in game, those which are a bigger scale will also be big with this mod, and those who are smaller, will also be smaller. When it comes to textures there are 7 types of blind dogs in this mod:
- No Fur Brown
- Fur Brown
- No Fur White
- Fur White
- No Fur Black
- Fur Black
- Pink Skin
You will find them pretty varied in your adventures through the game.
Compatibility
This addon should be compatible with any other mods that do not change the textures or models of the dogs. This means, this addon will be compatible even with addons that change scripts and configs about dogs. As the only files changed are the .ogf of the blind dogs, the .dds of the blind dogs, and the .thm of the blind dogs. It is okay to add mid save and also delete mid save, as it only edits the meshes and textures.
Installation
Use MO2 to install, as it will be easier and the mod has a FOMOD installation. However if you do not wish to install through that, go one by one on the folders, dropping the contents of their gamedata folder into your own gamedata folder. Choose only ONE of the texture options.

Looks great! Do you plan to add more like pseudodog or snorks?
Thank you! If life and time allows me, I would like to remake all the mutants :)
These models are so good, I would love to see your work in a full replace pack! Amazing! Cheers!
Thanks! I'll try to do.
oh **** yeah, I really hope you keep up the great work :D
Thank you very much! :)
i agree, make more models like this its just awesome
Выглядит очень атмосферно. как в фильме обитель зла. щас буду тестировать.
Sorry, I don't speak russian, but I translated your comment so I could answer to you. Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy :)
Love it. Hope to see some more!
Thanks! If life and time allows me, I certainly will do more! ^^
We need more mutants :3
Happy New Year 2023!
More will come! Happy New Year :D
Oh yes. And thank you for doing the extra mile of making a FOMOD installer for this. Pristine work. Maybe we can see other mutants in the near future?
Thank you! Yes! I plan to remake more mutants.
This has no right being this good, and just before the year ends. F*ckin amazing work.
Thank you :D
so high res mutant compatible or nah?
also nice mod
Thank you! Yes! It should be compatible. Just load this mod after High res mutants, and you will get these models and textures along with what the other mod adds :)
My god these look so god dam good!
I don't think I'll ever use the normal anomaly textures for dogs ever again after witnessing this beauty.
10/10
Thank you very much :D
Looks EPIC. Would love more of this!
Thanks! More will come :)
please remake all the mutants with this, your work is awesome!
Thank you :D If time allows I definetly will do more.
Excellent
Thank you :)
Oh man does it mean we finally have an excellent and very talented and motivated 3D modeler and texturer in the Anomaly modding community ? I simply can’t wait for what’s to come. Awesome work <3
Thank you Grok! <3 GAMMA is what motivated me to finally get to do this, and it is an honour that my addon is added to the pack. I'm hyped to work on more mutants of this quality, and give something back to the community after all these years with Anomaly.
That’s awesome ! Im glad GAMMA can drive more people to mod the game, especially when such high quality content is the result !!! I hope it won’t have a huge framerate impact on smaller rigs when fighting a pack of dogs. The engine can be picky with models having a high tris count :(
If you get any reports of that let me know! And I'll try to lower the poly count. I'll have that into account for the next mutant I make :) Thanks!
Great work! 10/10
Thank you :)
Excellent. Looking forward to your new mods. Pseudo-dogs next?
Thank you! Possibly! Either that, or Fleshes :)
Whoa! Look amazing! Will be testing these after work! Please keep up the great work!!!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy :D
спасибо ! это круто !

nice work
Thank you ^^
великолепно!
Thank you :)
Admirable work, really Incredible, you have my sincere appreciation, support and respect for your great work! 10/10
Thank you very much!
Oh, damn bro, really good quality mod you created there, thank you. You turn those doggo to another new level of both cuteness and danger at the same time. Well, wish me luck hunting a pack of them with my pm near the rookie village.
Thank you! Good hunting stalker.
I'll include this outstanding addon if I'll ever decide to return to playing Anomaly.
Nonetheless, I wish that the next year will be better for you than this one.
Thank you! Likewise :)
this is quality work, great stuff.
if you're going to look into other mutants, do check the forum section here on moddb: a little while back someone in there has showcased a remade 3d model of the controller that looked absolutely fantastic, and expressed a wish to collaborate to finish it up with textures etc.
Thank you! I'll check that out.
