Why we like it

Car Transportation earns its place in the superhive library by pairing a large rigged vehicle catalog with car paint shaders, HDRIs and backplates in one Blender add-on.

What is Car Transportation?

Car Transportation is a library add-on for Blender that collects more than 78 HD models of vehicles and cars, all PBR ready and rigged. The catalog spans trucks, sports cars, SUVs, 4X4s, sedans, classic cars, urban cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, boats, tractors, public transport, emergency vehicles, electric cars, Formula 1, rally and leisure vehicles. Models come in HD and low-poly versions, both rigged, so lighter meshes can stand in for background or crowded scenes.

Beyond the vehicles, the add-on bundles more than 70 car paint shaders in metallic, matte and shiny styles, plus an editor for building your own paint from metallic, matte and glossy presets. Colors render faithfully in the viewport under both Eevee and Cycles. For scene setup, it includes 65 HDRIs and more than 300 backplates to add lighting, reflections and composited backgrounds.

The interface lives in the Transportation tab of the N panel, and the whole set is Asset Browser ready for artists who prefer to skip the add-on UI.

Frequently asked questions

Does Car Transportation work with both Eevee and Cycles?

Car Transportation is compatible with both Eevee and Cycles. Every model in the library works in either renderer, and the car paint colors are shown faithfully in the viewport as well. The pack also includes 65 professional HDRIs and more than 300 backplates, so you can set up lighting, reflections and composited backgrounds for either engine. This lets you pick the renderer that fits your scene without swapping assets or reconfiguring paint materials.

Can I animate the rigged vehicles in Car Transportation?

Car Transportation includes many rigged vehicles that are animable, marked with a "rigged" sticker in the previews. A range of animation functions is available by default in Blender and within the add-on. If you want to go further with vehicle animation, the developer points to RIGACAR, which can be downloaded for free from the linked page at digicreatures.net. Both HD and low-poly versions of the models are rigged.

Can I edit the vehicle meshes and materials in Car Transportation?

Car Transportation lets you edit models with the Make Editable button, after which you can change the mesh, materials and textures. The add-on describes the models as fully customizable. For paint specifically, you can apply one of more than 70 car paint shaders in metallic, matte or shiny styles, or build your own color using the editor and its metallic, matte and glossy presets.

How do I place a vehicle on a surface in Car Transportation?

Car Transportation includes a Snap to Ground button that sticks the selected vehicle onto your surface. You choose a vehicle category from the 78 HD models and import it, then position it with the snap function. The add-on's controls live in the Transportation tab, which appears when you open the N panel in Blender. The interface is described as modern and functional, and usable by beginners.

Is Car Transportation free?

Car Transportation is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The add-on is offered by Bproduction for Blender, is Asset Browser ready, and includes documentation. A demo video is also available if you want to see more before installing.
