The best Asset collections for blender
Every 3D project ultimately consists of various assets—characters, trees, props, materials, shaders, particles, and much more. Some are created by you, while others are downloaded from asset libraries. Over the years, new methods have been developed to make asset creation faster and easier, including procedural tools, new addons, and improved modeling techniques like the use of modifiers.
While addons and procedural tools have significantly improved the quality and speed of asset creation, nothing beats a well-curated asset collection. So today, let’s take a look at some amazing asset collections.
Stylized Materials Library – Style Mat
Starting with the Stylized Material Library—most animations adopt a stylized art style because it’s easier to create, renders faster, and doesn’t require realism. Whether you’re making a short animated movie or a full-length film, you can cut your production time in half by leveraging libraries like this.
This collection includes a variety of customizable procedural shaders, such as wood, tiles, metal, bricks, walls, roof tiles, fabric, and more—all in 4K. With adjustable settings, each shader can be tweaked to look unique and seamlessly blend with your own art style.
Procedural Stadiums
When I first saw this Stadium Generator, all I could think about was how many ways I could use it—maybe for an ad promoting an upcoming football match, hockey game, or boxing event, or even for a sports product commercial with a stadium in the background. All these ideas flooded in for one simple reason: I didn’t have to create the stadiums myself—someone had already done the work for me.
Everything is customizable, from team colors and flags to the ads scrolling on the banners. And get this—even the crowds are included! Now, here’s the best part: it costs only $18 right now. You get fully customizable basketball, boxing, football, soccer, and hockey stadiums, each detailed and ready to use. Plus, there’s a low-poly mode if your computer can’t handle the high detail. How amazing is that?
Procedural Crowds
By the way, these are the same creators behind Procedural Crowds—so if you want to add extra characters outside the stadiums, whether entering, leaving, or just hanging around, you can use their crowd simulation addon.
The crowds are fully controllable, and you get a variety of behavior presets, including audience, circle, follow curve, groups, marching, random paths, and more. This gives you the flexibility to bring your scenes to life with natural-looking crowd movements.
Skyline Ukiyo Modern Metropolis – Modern Cities Kitbash Greeble Assets
You may also need some buildings surrounding the stadiums for wide establishing shots. This Modern Metropolitan Buildings Collection includes the kind of high-rise structures you’d expect to see in a modern city.
These buildings work well for live-action movies, animated films, or even as background elements in still renders. They come with PBR textures and are designed to be lightweight, making it easy to create large, dense cityscapes without slowing down your project. Just drag and drop them into your scene, and you’re good to go!
Procedural Traffic – Addon And Rigged Cars
With a stadium in the background, surrounded by a sprawling city and crowds scattered everywhere, the final touch is traffic—because, after all, those crowds had to get there somehow.
Now, imagine millions of cars filling the streets. Animating vehicles at this scale manually would be absolute madness. But with a procedural traffic addon, it’s pure genius. Just draw a curve, and the traffic flows automatically, avoiding collisions, following realistic paths, and even obeying traffic rules—just like in the real world.
Tree And Grass Library Botaniq – Trees
Another must-have library—especially with the ongoing winter discount—is Botaniq. No matter what project you’re working on, you’ll always need plants.
This library has everything you could possibly need for forest generation, garden creation, or even turning a scene into a post-apocalyptic world overrun by nature. It includes an ivy generator for growing plants onto buildings and structures, a biome scattering system for creating coherent natural growth with different tree species, and best of all, all the plants can be animated, making your environments feel even more alive.
+50 Ultimate Blender Addons Bundle 🌀
Speaking of collections, check out this massive bundle of 50+ addons! It includes tools like Physics Placer, Knitting Tool, Fluffy Maker, Highway Generator, Aqua Pro, Auto Depth AI, Attachify, Inflate Addon, Easy Snow, Castle Generator, and so many more.
I could go on forever—there are over 50 addons in this list, and I’m sure you’ve heard of at least 90% of them. Right now, thanks to the ongoing winter sale, you can grab them as a bundle at a discount—a perfect opportunity to expand your toolkit!
G Trash
Another addon I wouldn’t pass on is GTrash—because honestly, I can’t think of a scene that wouldn’t look better with some realistic trash.
And the best part? You don’t even have to scatter the trash yourself. This addon includes a collection of trash props along with a scattering system, allowing you to organically place litter in streets, alleyways, and anywhere else—in a way that the people living there would probably hate, but as a 3D render, it’s oddly satisfying to watch.
The City Generator
Speaking of streets and alleyways, if you don’t have an easy way to create them yourself, let me introduce you to the City Generator.
With this generator, you get everything in one place—procedural buildings, streets, traffic, crowds, alleyways, and all the elements you’d expect in a living, breathing city. This isn’t just another random particle instancer that throws buildings together with a high chance of intersection. No, this is a fully procedural city generator built from the ground up.
The process is structured: roads are generated first, then pavements, followed by street assets like cars, traffic lights, and people, and finally, the buildings. And the best part? Everything is on autopilot—you don’t have to animate a thing!
Geometry Nodes course
All this talk about generators and addons has probably left you wondering—could you make your own?
Well, addons require some knowledge of the Blender Python API, but generators? Those only need a solid understanding of Geometry Nodes. If you want to learn how to create your own generators and maybe even see your work featured in lists like this one, check out this Master Geometry Nodes Course.
It covers everything—from the fundamentals of procedural generation to motion graphics and advanced techniques, giving you the tools to build your own powerful generators from scratch.
Houdini For Blender Artists
And if you still want addon-level functionality but without learning Python or creating addons from scratch, check out this Houdini course.
It teaches you how to accomplish many of the things you’d typically need addons for in Blender, but using barebones Houdini instead. This course is a great way to level up your 3D skills by diving into the industry giant, Houdini.
Learn Vellum simulations, procedural generation, and much more—all in one place!
