The new Anime Garden – Painterly Asset Library for Blender, created by Craftreaper in collaboration with BD3D, delivers more than 200 stylised foliage assets designed for painterly and anime-inspired environments. The pack is available on Gumroad and is being offered at a reduced price until 5 November.

Designed for EEVEE Next

According to the vendor, the asset pack is optimised for Blender 4.5 LTS and particularly benefits from EEVEE Next, the real-time renderer introduced in recent Blender builds. While Cycles is supported, the creators caution that it is “very GPU heavy”. The pack does not include its own scattering system. Instead, it is built to work with popular third-party scatterers such as GeoScatter (Pro), GScatter, and BagaPie. To populate environments quickly, the pack includes a collection of pre-built biomes, ready-made groupings of foliage assets that can be placed in scenes using either GeoScatter or the free Biome Reader add-on.

Customisation and Animation via WindFX

Each asset can be customised and combined for diverse natural environments, from dense forests to stylised maze gardens. While the pack does not include baked animation presets, the creators supply a free WindFX add-on that allows artists to simulate wind-driven movement procedurally within Blender.

Technical Notes and Limitations

Craftreaper recommends Blender 4.5 or newer to gain full performance benefits; earlier versions with EEVEE Next will function but may lack optimisations. The pack uses procedural shaders extensively, meaning exporting to game engines such as Unity or Unreal Engine is not advised. Some hand-painted texture assets are included and may be adapted manually for real-time use, but the creators explicitly note this workflow is unsupported.

Summary

Anime Garden provides Blender artists with a large, hand-crafted foliage library in a painterly, Ghibli-inspired style, designed for EEVEE rendering. The pack’s customisation options and integration with external scattering add-ons make it a flexible tool for stylised environment work inside Blender. As always, testing theassets thoroughly before integrating them into active production pipelines is vital.

]]> 3D modeling software interface showing rocks and textures

Antoine Bagattini’s BagaPie, a free Blender add-on, has received its most significant update yet with version 11, introducing 20 new tools aimed at enhancing modeling, scattering, and architectural visualization workflows .

New Parametric Generators

BagaPie 11 adds tools like Face to Windows and Face to Doors, enabling users to generate parametric windows and doors that conform to selected mesh regions. Four new pattern generators allow conversion of mesh faces into repeating structures such as wooden planks and wire mesh .

Enhanced Surface Detailing

The Insert Mesh in Quad Face tool instances a source mesh onto selected faces, matching proportions to add details like plaster clumps. Bolt Corner automatically places bolts or screws at the corners of selected faces. Array Along Shape lets users draw lines of details, such as studs or rivets, over a model’s surface .
