[@khalatelomara]

How generous to have these assets for free and still free, the addon is incredible in terms of accessibility and ease of access to these awesome assets, a must have and yet supporting is crucial , you guys are treasure 😍

[@DJ_Games751]

I didn't even have to think before buying this.... Best addon ever

[@michaelwsheeler]

Just got your addon. Love it. What an incredible collection and with this addon, what an incredible time-saver. Thanks so much!

[@leinadreign3510]

Subscribed to your patreon to support your library for all the people who are just trying out Blender. It was very helpful for me, to find so many textures on your website for free. Now Im giving you support : )

[@AwesomePxssum]

Absolutely amazing work guys! I really appreciate all your efforts in creating this addon and all the assets you've made available for us. Thank you and well done!

[@timoluetk]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I would've easily shelled out a hundred bucks for this. Keep up the great work, you are everythjing

[@TheMomCave]

I'm super new to Blender and this is a HUGE game changer for me. Thank you so much.

[@AlonzoTejeda]

Wow I've been Blendering for 2 years and I finally got this add on for like $30 or somehting and it was way over due. Even auto sets your displacement settings, wow so great. Thank you

[@Complex_inc]

this is an absolutely CLASS product, kudos to the people who created this! ❤

[@JuanFernandez-ti5bv]

Thank you , very clear explanation for every aspect. I just downloaded it, though I am new to blender this seems very useful from the very beginning

[@Omegafresh]

This saves so much time and money. Thank you again.

[@LunaSomnium]

I love you people for your asset browser. Thank you for your hard work!

[@SKKEE]

I literally accidentally bought this add-on and I love it! Thanks guys!

[@Positronit]

Great Addon, thanks for your work!

wow😯😯😯😯 My jaw just dropped on the floor. I'm short of words.

[@DamianL]

Amazing!

[@AndyTanguay]

Love it

[@TheTchaume]

Thanks a lot for this addon. One question, is it possible to change the setting of the material. For instance, to import them in "box projection" instead of "flat projection"?

[@Galaturman]

Tnx for the amazing add-on. For some reason cant see the "Fetch Assets" button. Any ideas?

[@3dibad]

thanks

[@powersourcejasonzeldamusic4984]

you RULE ! 😎😎

[@damidraws_vt]

I loved this in blender 3.0 but in 4 it's not giving me the fetch asset button. One day I'll have it in me to install all my addons one by one but this is such a downer. I really loved this addon

[@gustavoLopez-mz8hy]

esta genial! lo acabo de adquirir hoy, ¿se actualiza sola la biblioteca?

[@Jez2008UK]

There's only one word I have to say............................ wow! (purchased:) )

[@Hyperboid]

What exactly is the difference with the resolutions of models? The subdivision modifier always seems to be enough.

[@catinthehat3398]

i need this since i cant see zip files when adding a texture. Thank you

[@lloydbussio7782]

Is it possible to have a proxy model setting aswell in the drop downs? For architectural visualisation the high quality is great, but we end up with a full building with 100's of assets, it slows down the model dramatically, we still need to know where the assets are, but it would be great to have a low poly representation during model editing

[@PolyHaven]

This is a great suggestion, thanks!

[@curiaproduction2.020]

I can't figure out how to locate the blender browser folder because it doesn't detect the assets I don't know in which folder I have to create my own assets folder

[@Sriram-ty8sk]

I got a grass model from Polyhaven, although when I import it , I dont get a particle system... how do I use it?

[@3Rton]

glossing over the announcement and BM shop page I don't think it is declared anywhere what period does the purchase give you active support for? By active support meaning access to new builds and updates of the add-on. Is it permanent, for 3.X series or to this specific version of the asset browser.

[@PolyHaven]

Future updates to this add-on will also be free for existing customers. I've got many new features planned, but at the very least we'll maintain compatibility with the latest Blender releases for the foreseeable future :)

[@user-mu4kr2fb8d]

Every time I try to enable it, I get an error saying it's already registered as a subclass. Both blendr and polyhaven are up to date

[@muratcakmak1723]

merhaba, Blender ve 3D de yeniyim, eklentinizi almak istiyorum ama bazı endişelerim var. Eklentinizi Bilgisayarıma yükleme konusunda Türkçe desteğe ihtiyacım olabilir, birde tanıtım videosunda ki kadar olmasa da seri kullanım için (masaüstü pc) ekran kartı tavsiyesine ihtiyacım var. yardımcı olabilir misiniz ?

[@davidponcefoh]

I'm having a hard time installing this on blender 4.0 is it compatible?????????

[@thescore91]

if I downloaded something unnecessary, how to delete it correctly?

[@chagaze7199]

wow ^^

[@bentontramell]

I like it but needs more metals 😊

[@dancingsid]

When using an HDRI background I'm not finding a way to make it a real world scale, or, the scale of the models being used in it. All the videos I find say to just increase the scale of the models being used, but I'm thinking there has to be a way to scale the environment to the models. Can you either post a reply or, a video, on how that's done? Thank you!

[@PolyHaven]

Traditionally HDRI's are mapped to the world shader which is an infinite distance away from the scene at all times. This means you can't really scale the HDRI to fit the models. You could use back plates that you could scale to provide the backdrop or you could create a sphere or other geometry that you can map the HDRI to like in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6Sue5p_o895jpY Hope this helps.

[@pastpianist]

Bought! Can you test the "apply displacement" button on blender 4.5 beta for Apple Silicon? Seems like it doesn't work (I know it's a beta but pointing it out 🙂 )

[@PolyHaven]

Blender 4.5 wow! We've got a time traveler here! In Blender 3.5 beta on Windows, the "Setup Displacement" works fine for me for both Cycles and Eevee. I see no reason it would function any differently on Mac as this feature doesn't interact with the OS at all. Please check you're using the latest release (1.0.8) and if it's still a problem, make a detailed bug report using the button in the user preferences :)

[@Reincarny]

best 30$ i've ever spent

[@TotallyNotSushio]

I have a error code with python in which I can't fetch the assets when I click the "fetch assets" button, Whenever I do It comes up with a error code in which it states "key polyhavenassets not found" if you could tell me a fix it would be much appreciated.

[@PolyHaven]

Hey, Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the add-on. Could you please log this issue on our Github page so we can track it better? Thanks! github.com/Poly-Haven/polyhavenassets/issues

[@SaneKoi13]

So set my renders settings but the displacements all wonky for texture drops, what should I do?

[@PolyHaven]

Make sure to apply the scale of your objects, and also click "Fix Texture Scale". Displacement is sensitive to the size of the geometry and the texture.

[@jcarditti3807]

Hi ! For me the Set up displacment option is grayed out, no possibilities to click on it, what should i do ? i tried to resize the plane, i pressed on Fix texture scale (working well) but i'm not able to click on the displacment option

[@PolyHaven]

Currently displacement is only available in the Cycles render engine, but Eevee support is planned for a future release.

[@JavierQuitoDeidan]

Hi, I am on Blender 3.2.2 but I don't have the "Fetch Assets" option, any advice please?.

[@PolyHaven]

You can try the troubleshooting guide (blendermarket.com/products/poly-haven-asset-browser/docs), or contact us on the Blender Market with more details about your issue.

[@stevenmenegozzi]

I had the same issue. I found it by clicking the button that is 3 horizontal lines, right next to the Asset Browser button

[@LESTER89217]

Is the download of these material files large?

[@PolyHaven]

The initial download is about 3.5 GB, that includes all our assets at 1k resolution. Once you start switching assets to higher resolutions, it'll download more. You can get an idea of how big different resolutions of different assets are on the download buttons for each asset on our site: polyhaven.com/all

[@historyhistory870]

07:34 The 'Set up displacement' button is not active. Please tell me the solution.

[@GregZaal]

Displacement currently only works in Cycles, not Eevee. But in the next release both will be supported.

[@historyhistory870]

@@GregZaal Thank you for your answer!

[@Alex-wm9zo]

When I click on the 'Fix Texture Scale' button, I receive a warning 'Flat has a non uniform scale, texture scale will be incorrect.' How can I fix this? Please. This is very important to me.

[@GregZaal]

Select your object and apply the scale with Ctrl-A :) Non uniform scale (objects where the scale for X, Y and Z are different from each other) breaks many things in Blender, as a general rule of thumb it's a good idea to have the scale set to 1,1,1 by applying it.

I'm kinda confused on how i'm supposed to use grass

[@PolyHaven]

I believe our grass assets are set up as particle systems currently. After importing the asset, add a particle system to your ground object (where you want the grass) and look in the dropdown for the existing particle systems that were just imported.
