What's included
A full asset library, built into Blender
Browse, preview, and import the entire CGHEVEN library without leaving Blender. VFX, 3D models, HDRIs, and VDBs land in your scene with the right settings already applied, so you can keep working instead of fixing imports.
600+ assets on the free tier
Fire, smoke, explosions, magic, energy, sparks, and portals, plus 3D models, HDRIs, and VDBs. Browse and download everything at 1K and 2K with no signup.
3D models with real LODs
Every new 3D asset ships with LOD0, LOD1, and LOD2 so you can drop in a high-poly hero or a game-ready low-poly version from the same download.
Every format you actually use
Models come as Blend, FBX, OBJ, USD, and GLTF. VFX come as ProRes 4444 with alpha, green screen MP4, plain MP4, and 4K EXR sequences on Pro.
VDBs and flipbooks set themselves up
Volumetric fire and smoke arrive with a shader already wired, and flipbooks detect their own keyframes when you drop them into the sequencer.
Download once, use everywhere
Anything you pull in Blender is instantly available in the After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro add-ons. No second download.
Commercial use, no credit needed
Every asset is CC0. Ship it in client work, games, and films without asking permission or paying per use.

VFX go into the compositor or sequencer, 3D models import at LOD0, and VDBs arrive with their shader ready. Adjust from there.
FAQ
Blender add-on questions, answered
Do I need to sign up to use the Blender add-on?
No. Download the add-on and start right away. The free tier with 1K and 2K assets needs zero signup. You only log in for Pro features like 4K, EXR sequences, and new weekly content.
Is the add-on free forever?
Yes. The add-on itself is free, and all assets stay free at 1K and 2K resolution. 4K resolution and new content need a Pro plan at five dollars a month, which you can cancel any time.
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2, with 4.2 recommended. Support for the 3.6 LTS release is planned.
Can I use the assets in commercial projects?
Yes. Every CGHEVEN asset is CC0, so you can use it in client work, games, and films. Credit is appreciated but not required.
Do I need separate plans for the other add-ons?
No. One Pro plan unlocks the Blender, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro add-ons under a single account.
What is the difference between LOD0, LOD1, and LOD2?
LOD0 is high poly for close-ups, LOD1 is mid poly for medium distance, and LOD2 is low poly for far shots and games. Every 3D asset includes all three.
Where does the add-on save downloaded assets?
On Windows it saves to your user folder under CGHEVEN and assets. You can point it at a different drive, such as an SSD, in the add-on preferences.
Does the add-on slow Blender down?
No. The library runs in its own panel and has no effect on your render performance.
