Getting Help

Feel free to reach us and our community via our Discord server. We also offer support using the Superhive inbox or via email but Discord is the preferred and fastest way to receive support.

Check out the Support page for more details.

To start using the botaniq asset pack, you will need to install it into the engon addon. You can get engon for free from our Superhive, Gumroad or GitHub. If you have Blender 4.2 or higher, you can install engon as an extension from our extensions repository.

Here you can find shortcuts to engon documentation related to botaniq.

Feature Highlights

High Baseline Quality

One of the main advantages is the consistent quality of assets. They are interchangeable, their materials are consistent and they can be freely mixed in one scene without anything looking out of place.

Optimized for Productivity

botaniq provides the highest possible render quality in raytracing renderers (e.g. Cycles) for the lowest possible RAM/VRAM usage and render time. This is a very difficult tradeoff. The assets provided are meant as background supporting assets in the scene, not as hero close-up assets. In some cases you can make a specific asset editable, apply a modifier and small changes and make it a hero asset. Overall though, botaniq is not meant to replace a photoscanned tree model of several million trianges. On the other hand it will allow you to place many trees in the background of your scene and still render everything relatively quickly.

The meshes provided prefer slightly higher triangle count over alpha overdraw. In this sense they are more suitable for raytracing renderers (e.g. Cycles) than realtime rasterizing renderers (e.g. Eevee). However you can use them for rasterization and the results are acceptable.

Renderers supported out of the box

• Cycles: this is the main renderer we optimize for
• Eevee: most of the assets will also render well with eevee
