Earns its place in the Superhive library as a click-driven approach to space scene setup, with planet and asset packs free to redistribute for any purpose.
Space Elements Addon works inside Blender to assemble space scenes. Starting is a matter of clicking the Setup Space button to create the lighting and background, then adding a planet of your choice, moving around it, and dropping in an asset. The addon handles the galaxy background setup and lighting setup for you, and includes automatic composition with bloom in Cycles.
The pack ships with five realistic planets, fully shaded, along with five assets covering satellites, a shuttle, and the ISS. These assets are free to redistribute and use anywhere for any purpose. Easy settings give you control over how each element behaves in your scene.
The addon lives on the N-Panel and is built to be straightforward to use. It renders with Cycles and Eevee, and documentation is provided. A demo video is also available for those who want to see it before diving in. Developed by EdenWeby 3D, it targets a broad range of Blender releases so a wide user base can pick it up.
Space Elements Addon is best for blender users creating space scenes with ready-made planets, assets, lighting, and backgrounds.
Space Elements Addon is completely free to download and use.
Space Elements Addon supports Blender versions 3.6 through 5.0, covering a wide span of releases. It renders with both Cycles and Eevee, so you can work with either engine. Note that the automatic composition with bloom is listed specifically for Cycles. Because it spans several major versions, most users on recent Blender installs should be able to run it. Check the developer's page for the latest confirmed compatibility details before installing on a newer or older build.
Space Elements Addon is located on the N-Panel in Blender. To get started, click the Setup Space button to create the lighting and background, then add a planet of your choice, move around it, and add an asset. The developer describes it as easy to use and requiring no tutorial beyond common sense of Blender. Documentation is provided if you need reference, and a demo video is available for those who want to watch the workflow before beginning.
Space Elements Addon comes with assets that are free to redistribute and use anywhere you want, for any purpose. This covers the included five assets — satellites, a shuttle, and the ISS — alongside the five realistic, fully shaded planets. The addon itself is distributed under a GPL license. For clarity on how the license applies to your specific use and any redistribution, refer to the developer's page for current terms.
