The library is always expanding, with more trees & greenery joining the collection. Its price will rise slightly as it expands, but our goal will always stay the same - to create a massive library of models for everyone to use, with a very reasonable price/value ratio. 

Over time, we've added many features and assets like seasonal variations, tropical trees, succulents, scattering, wind animations, ivy drawing, house plants, and garden assets.

In the future, we plan to add new features like different levels of detail and tree painting. Please contact us over our Discord server if you want a specific feature.

Features

Add animation

You can also make the animation loop within 120 frames.

Draw vines

Draw vines on any surface in a matter of seconds - customize them as you wish.

Scatter Assets

Quickly populate the selected object with botaniq asset of your choosing.

Or just use the pre-made particle systems.

Create density and length vertex groups for each particle system.

Set density per square meter and recalculate if needed.

You can also add selected assets to an active particle system.

Spawn Assets

Each asset has a rendered preview and can be easily added through our addon. By default, the assets are linked, but you can also choose to add them as editable objects or convert them later on.

Add new trees easily

Adding new assets has never been easier. Create your nature scene with just a few clicks by selecting the asset from the library.

Snap to Ground

No more floating trees or dragging your trees to the ground. Use the Snap to ground button to ensure all your trees are safely planted.

Randomize Scale & Rotation of Selected Assets

Nature is varied and random, so although it's unrealistic to have each tree unique, we've added a feature to randomize the selected assets automatically. Hence, their rotation and scale differ, giving the appearance of variation.

Convert to Editable & Convert to Linked

Make your selection editable from right inside your scene! If you want to save memory, you can always convert the asset back to Linked.
