We are slowly and slowly coming to the end of 2024, let this be the year you work on your project ideas, don’t push them any further, and to help you speed things up, here are some new addons that will 10x your quality and production speed.

Draw terrain

if you want a desert environment, mountainous, or even canyons the draw terrain addon, is a collection of procedural generators that are going to make making these environments easier , you can easily form desert dunes, mountain peaks and canyon valleys by just moving curves around, making one environment like this usually takes weeks if not month, but with a tool like draw terrain, you can make 10 in a space of one hour.

Drawscatter

draw terrain has a sister addon called drawscatter, that makes adding things like grass, forests, rock easy, its a scattering tool for scattering objects and what i love about it most is that you can use curves to dictate where the scattered objects, its is really great, because you dont have to spend time weight painting or waste resources scattering objects outside the camera view, this is also great to creating biome eco systems that work together

Blender Ai Library Pro

Ai was over hyped in many ways but we are starting to see it deliver in the 3d industry, like this Blender Ai library, you can generate, textured models, pbr materials, hdris and textures all inside blender using this addon, while its still important to model things by hand, if they are far away from the camera, its nice to know that you dont have to spend alot of time on objects in the back, just use this Ai to get them done quickly.

Textureblender

texturing is what makes models, look realistic, thats why when you want a stylized look, you use less textures and mostly shaders and materials, to make your textures look even more realistic and detail its recommended to blend and mix them with others like brick and paint, this is what the texture blender addon is made for, its has all the tools you can use to blend the different texture sets like diffuse, roughness and normal maps in one go, strengthen your texturing with this amazing addon.

Autodepth Ai

time is the most limited resource we have, every second that is spent is unrecoverable, instead of spending time crafting every detail in your render, use AutoDepth to borrow detail from images, this addon can generate a depth map from any image, use the depthmap to displace a plane and apply the image as a texture to that plane, which will turn the image into a 3d model you can look in too an will render as extra detail in your shots.

Quick Font 1.2

if you use blender for motion graphics or anything for that matter, i recommend investing in quick fronts, this addon comes with over 80000 fonts, so what ever you want you can type it, and turn it into 3d, the addon is right now at a 40% discount.

Easy Hex Tile

texture tiling is a problem that has existed since the beginning of time, to fix it this easy hex tile, uses hexagons to break the tilling instead of rectangle tilling that makes the tilling obvious, it also blends the seems to break tilling further.

Destruction Tools

if you want to add detail damage to anything take a look at destruction tools, its a collection of geometry nodes tools that can add rebar, damage, wire mesh, scatter debris and more with just a few clicks.

most badass movies have lens flares, they just make things look epic, flaresim has been updated to 2.0 and now comes with a bunch of new features, including anamorphic lenses, 20 different lenses with customizable aperture, f stop and more.

Destroyed Building Generator

I love cities, especially when they are destroyed and abandoned. If you need a semi-destroyed building for your scene, I’ve got you covered. I created an easy-to-use destroyed building generator with Geometry Nodes. No installation is needed—just copy the building object and paste it into your scene. If you use my asset library addon, you can easily find and use this generator. The building comes with pre-added damage, but you can adjust it, add more floors, increase the footprint, or even add ivy growth, debris, and exposed rebar. Enjoy!

Blender Debris tool geometry nodes

If you’re creating a post-apocalyptic scene, this tool is a must-have. You’ll definitely need more debris than you think, and this tool makes it easy to scatter debris or rocks naturally near walls, just as they would realistically fall. When chunks break off a wall, they tend to land nearby, and this tool replicates that behavior perfectly. Plus, you can use it to add grass in corner areas and other details to enhance the realism of your scene.
