HDRI Library

More than simple HDRIs, these are high-quality hemispherical environment presets for image-based lighting tuned for photorealistic results out of the [virtual]box. A world node setup converts the same HDR image for both lighting and backplate purposes, making changes from within Blender possible and external tone mapping unnecessary.

Realistic Medium Pine Tree

Realistic Medium Pine Tree - 25% off

This coniferous beauty is highly detailed, but uses a bit of instancing to make it load and render faster than most other CG trees. The tree is made up of levels of branches, each as a separate object, so you can decide how much detail to render and view in the viewport. The leaves are placed around the branches where they should naturally be – not bunched in the center like leaves from Blender’s sapling tree generator.

Render

Render+ is a Blender addon that makes rendering easier and more powerful. I started writing this addon because I wanted to automate more of my workflow without having to fiddle with too many settings or writing specific code.

890x445xuvsquares_main8_for_1-4-0-890x445.png.pagespeed.ic.qWvVcKrrSR

UV Squares - 50% off

Uv Squares is a Blender addon for the UV Editor that reshapes UV selections into a grid.

I was working on a model and was very satisfied with the low poly version I made. The last thing I needed to make it complete was a proper UV unwrap so it would fit the textures nicely. The problem was that I haven’t unwrapped and the bend (and other modifiers) were applied. I was experimenting with available unwrapping techniques but they didn’t quite work for me, I wanted to be able to simply select one part and stretch it out to a precise grid.
