Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library for turning Blender's sapling add-on into a preset-driven workflow, paired with randomizing Cycles materials and documentation across four common species.

What is Unlimited Trees?

Unlimited Trees Volume 1 provides four presets for Blender's sapling add-on, which act as construction plans for your trees. Change one value to randomize a tree and get a new, unique one, repeated as often as you like. The workflow runs from adding a new tree and choosing the species to creating a random variation and applying the materials, producing a photo-realistic tree in about two minutes.

The Universal Set covers common species: Linden, Oak, Ash and Dawyck. Every species comes with a leaf and a bark material, and each material randomly varies the look, so the textures differ along with the trees. One slider readies the trees for an autumn scene. In total you get four presets and four render-ready trees of each species, for 16 trees.

Documentation and included tutorials cover further detailing, optimizing, and reducing memory usage. The trees render in Cycles and the set works across Blender 3.0 through 4.1. Future updates are free for existing customers, and the license is royalty free.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Unlimited Trees support?

Unlimited Trees supports Blender 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 4.0 and 4.1, so it covers a wide span of releases. The trees are built for the Cycles render engine, which the set uses for its materials and shaders. Volume 1 works through Blender's sapling add-on, generating its trees from four presets. If you run one of the listed Blender versions with Cycles, you have what the set is designed for.

Does Unlimited Trees rely on the sapling add-on?

Unlimited Trees Volume 1 is built around four presets for Blender's sapling add-on, which act as the construction plans for your trees. You add a new tree, choose the species, create a random variation by changing a value, and apply the materials. Because the presets drive the sapling add-on, that add-on is central to how the set generates each tree. The documentation and included tutorials walk through the process if you are unsure how it fits together.

Is Unlimited Trees free to download?

Unlimited Trees is listed as free in this catalog, so check the developer's page for current licensing details. The set is marked royalty free, and future updates are free for existing customers, which is how the v1.1 update reached buyers with its Cycles shaders and adjusted textures. For the most accurate and up-to-date terms, the developer's page is the place to confirm before you download.

How many trees come with Unlimited Trees Volume 1?

Unlimited Trees Volume 1 includes four presets and four render-ready trees of each species, for a total of 16 trees. The Universal Set covers Linden, Oak, Ash and Dawyck. Each species comes with a leaf and a bark material, and each material randomly varies the look, so both the trees and their textures differ. A single slider readies the trees for an autumn scene.
