Quick Landscape stands out in the Superhive library for pairing a large preset landscape catalog with Geometry-nodes tree scattering and fog controls in a single panel-driven add-on.
Quick Landscape is an add-on for Blender that ships with a library of 152 landscapes organized into 38 categories, including hills, mountains, plateau, desert, plains, island, cliff, canyon, crater and others, each with 4 variants. You select a landscape and add it to your scene, then customize it with a range of tools and settings accessed directly from the panel. Materials are compatible with Cycles and Eevee, and 4K textures are packed with a full PBR workflow.
The add-on includes a scatter library of 16 fully customizable tree types you can switch between in real time. Using Geometry nodes, you can scatter trees in a single click and control their distribution with a slope mask, upper and lower height trim, and texture-based density masks. Scatter material controls adjust saturation, brightness and translucency, add a snowy touch, or turn trees deciduous.
Quick Landscape also offers exponential surface fog and world fog with control over attributes such as texture, scale and density, an anti-tile expandable landscape system, real-time ocean foam on islands and cliffs, a cutoff plane, and adjustable terrain mesh quality.
Quick Landscape is best for blender artists building landscape scenes, game environments, architectural visualization, or cinematic shots.
Quick Landscape is completely free to download and use.
Quick Landscape works with Blender 3.4 and later, with support included for Blender 3.5 and 3.6. The latest update adds support for Blender 4.0. If you are running a version within this range, the add-on and its Cycles and Eevee compatible materials are intended to function as described. For anything outside this range, check the developer's page for the most current compatibility details before installing.
Quick Landscape materials are 100% compatible with both Cycles and Eevee, so you can use its landscapes in either render engine. The 4K textures are packed with a full PBR workflow, and you can fully customize the landscape material by changing its color, roughness, normal and more directly from the panel. This lets you tune the look of your terrain regardless of which of the two engines you render with.
Quick Landscape uses Geometry nodes to scatter trees, letting you place them across your landscape in a single click. You can switch between 16 tree types in real time and control their distribution with a slope mask, an upper and lower height trim, and texture-based density masks. Scatter material settings adjust saturation, brightness and translucency, and can add a snowy touch or turn trees deciduous. The scattering is optimized to balance quality with low-memory efficiency.
Quick Landscape is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current pricing and any usage conditions, check the developer's page on Superhive before downloading. The add-on includes documentation to help you get started, and a demo video covering the v3.0 update is also available for a closer look at what the add-on offers.
