Blender Asset Libraries

lilweep

Are there any other pre-made Blender asset libraries besides Polyhaven one?

I recently downloaded the Polyhaven addon for Blender, and really liking this library, particularly for easy access to HDRIs at various resolutions, also Textures (and some models).  

The synching option is so convenient.  Obviously this is the way forward.

There are a lot of other pre-made Blender Asset Browser products.

Thanks for noting the presets are via the asset browser for physical starlight and atmosphere. I love that product but could never figure out how to get the presets. I reread the sales page too and must have missed it. 

And I just want to say gobos is probably the best thing I've bought. It instantly made my shots better. And I don't have forestation, I have grassblade and vegetation from them, and I can't imagine using any other assets for nature stuff. It looks so good.

I really love Forestation. These are in the moment the best trees availibe for Blender, if you need something for close-ups.
Grassblade is nice, but for close-ups https://www.graswald3d.com/ have the best assets on the market. But they consume also much more memory than Grassbalde, after Grassblade is primary made for scattering an wide area of grass.

Sadly Graswald dosn't support Asset Browser and Scatter5 Biomes at the moment, but this may change in the future. Maybe.
They are currently focused on their owen (free) scatter and asset management soltion: G-Scatter.

But I prefer Scatter5 over G-Scatter by far.

Sadly Scatter5 isn't using for their Biomes-presets the Blender Asset Browser, but after the maker behind Scatter5 is also a big Asset Browser fand it's only a question of time until Scatter5 Biomes will be moving the the Asset Browser.

Also worth to mention is the free addon, which helps to generate your own assets (e.g. stuff you migrate form DAZ to Blender with Diffeo) with very useful batch-tools and other helpers:

I almost bought Forestation during the last Blender Market sale but I opted to get grassblade instead since the vegetation had trees already. You can't really do close ups with those, but for what I needed, it was fine. Next sale. And I've had Graswald for a couple of years now and yeah, it's really the best out there but it is so resource heavy. I have a 3090 with 64GB of RAM and it still slows to a halt when I have a full scene with Graswald assets. I need to figure out if it's my settings somewhere because I'd like to believe my computer wouldn't be so slow using them. 

I was also looking at Scatter5 during the sale but figured it was similar enough to Gscatter. 

Thanks for the free addon link!

Scatter5.3 supports asset browser assets already. Have a look at the manual distibution. https://sites.google.com/view/scatter5docs/manual/manual-mode?authuser=0

I'm in the process of converting my two Graswald libs (the cycles libs) to assets for exact this reason :) - oh and I love forestation, but for closeups/tinkering I prefer thegrove3d.com.
