About

botaniq is a library of optimized & realistic 3D vegetation. It features a variety of Trees, Palms, Succulents, Shrubs, Plants, and Pots for Architectural Visualization, Environmental Design, Rendering Forests, Landscaping, and other scenes that could use a bit of varied greenery.

We also plan to add new features like different detail levels and tree painting - all based on requests and feedback.

LATEST RELEASE:
2024/01/11: botaniq 7.0.0 Converted botaniq from a standalone addon to an asset pack that can be used with engon and/or blender native asset browser. Ported vine system to geometry nodes, improved functionality. Added 111 assets (including variants) and 4 scatter presets. Added bq_ prefix to all blends, datablocks and textures to avoid name collisions. Unified naming to always use botaniq latin names. Renamed pots incorrectly classified as vases. Bugfixes: scale of corals Aplysina fistularis and the tree Robina pseudoaccacia E, origin of various models, branch geometry of Populus Tremuloises, wrong material assigned to leaves of Larix Decidua C winter, material of Fern A, incorrect UV map in wind animation data.


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.

We have added features like wind animation, seasonal variations, scattering grass, flowers, plants, tropical trees, succulents, garden assets, ivy assets, and ivy draw. Lots of our products are based on requests and feedback, so feel free to reach out to us on our Discord channel.

botaniq Variants

engon Features

Real-Time Modifications

Gone are the days of repeatedly clicking buttons for every adjustment. Now, you can make real-time modifications on linked assets, effortlessly bringing your vision to life.

All of the adjustments work regardless of whether the assets are linked or not. That way you do not have to compromise performance to customize assets. We keep improving them.

Particle System

Adjustments also work on particle systems. Make sure the target object is among your selected objects. Keep in mind that assets you are scattering have to support the adjustment for it to have any effect.

Add Animation

Add an animation preset to any deciduous or coniferous trees. Adjust strength, change preset, turn on/off modifiers, and more to come.

You can also make the animation loop with custom interval.

Biomes for Geo-Scatter

botaniq comes with scatpack file that you can register inside Geo-Scatters Biome Reader and use.

Draw vine

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


Randomize animation

Offset randomize animation will shift the start and end of botaniq animations, creating a more realistic and natural appearance.

Mute / Unmute Animation

Scatter Assets

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

Or just use the pre-made particle presets.

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 ground one by one. Use the Snap to ground button to make sure 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 automatically randomize the selected assets so their rotation and scale differs, giving the appearance of variation.

Convert to editable

Make your selection editable from right inside your scene!
