Tree And Grass Library Botaniq - Trees (2024)

Draw vines

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

MUTE/UNMUTE & RANDOMIZEANIMATION

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

Scatter Assets

Quickly populate the selected objectwith botaniq asset of your choosing or just use the pre-made particle systems.

Create density and length vertex groups for each particle system.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 the ground. Use the Snap to ground button to ensure 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 randomize the selected assets automatically. Hence, their rotation and scale differ, giving the appearance of variation.

Convert to Editable & Convert to Linked

Make your selection editable from right inside your scene! If you want to save memory, you can always convert the asset back to Linked.
