Tutorial: dress a scene with free assets

You’ll install three free asset plugins and use them to light, texture and furnish a simple patio. None of them needs an account or a key.

First, connect 3D-Agent to Blender.

1. Install the plugins

   Open Plugins and install Poly Haven, BlenderKit and ambientCG.

2. Block out a scene

   Create a simple outdoor patio: a stone floor, a low wall on two sides and a wooden table in the middle.

3. Light it with an HDRI

   Add a Poly Haven sunset HDRI for the lighting.

   The HDRI replaces the world lighting.

4. Add materials

   Use ambientCG materials: weathered stone for the floor and wall, and oak for the table.

5. Add models

   Add four free chairs from BlenderKit around the table and a potted plant in one corner.

   The agent lists the BlenderKit assets it added, because each one has its own license.

Tips

• Downloads default to 2K. Ask for 4K only when you need it. 8K usually times out.
• BlenderKit only returns free assets.
• If a plugin shows Needs setup, check the reason on the Plugins page. See Plugin status.
