background image there's also a menu where you can access the same options from the different editors after pasting your image into the Shader editor as a texture with the last add-on one more add-on you can install is the bump which you can use to create a normal map height map and uncovered map from a single image you just click on the image after installation an inertia editor using the end panel you will see the Deep bump add-on you can also see the button spread normal create height map and cavity when you click on the image you can select create normal to generate a normal map from the image within a few seconds the height map can be created from the normal map and the cavity can also be created from the normal map under just a few seconds still on the topic of materials and shadows this substance add-on for blend up makes it easy for you to import smart substance materials into blender you also get access to the smart material parameters so you can customize the material to your liking if you don't have any substance materials there are hundreds to download on the substance Community page where a lot of professionals are uploading their own Creations this list is going to contain a lot of add-ons so you will need an easy way to manage them inside blender so let me introduce you to simple tabs it's a free add-on that helps you manage your add-ons better with a pop-up menu and an easy way to select them and disable them as you want to you can also categorize them in different categories so that you can easily access the ones you want like adding details without working too hard this image to mesh addon can help you with that just look for the image detail you want and it will be done in a matter of clicks if you loved the Last of Us series then you are going to love this differential growth atom this add-on can be a great way to generate bizarre looking organic patterns that look similar to The Last of Us fungus plant what I love more about this iron is its satisfying animation when it's creating the fungus plus the iron is free and open source real life is imperfect things break crack and damage 3D renders mimic real life and without cracks and damage Uranus will never look realistic even then photorealistic renders need some cracks and damage and that's what this crack and damage addon gives you number eight we have action recorder if you have used Photoshop before you have probably used something similar to action recorder you record actions you want to repeat playback in 3D modeling you do a lot of repetitive tasks like 90 of the time wouldn't it be nice to just just do them once and let the computer repeat them as you want this add-on does something similar to that you select the actions you want to record and when you have to repeat them the add-on takes over at number nine we have the plan Library the plan library is a collection of highly detailed vegetation from the makers of geoscatter most beginners will not need more vegetation than what is in this collection it's simply amazing how much value is being given away for free here number 10 we have bio breeder like the plan Library we have just looked at biome reader is made by the makers of geoscata and actually the plant Library collection is meant to work with the biome reader what this add-on is speaks to the nature of the blender Community a group of artists working together to create breathtaking content the biome reader is made as a standard scattering add-on for vegetations so it works with other add-ons like botanic to help you scatter vegetations in a realistic way if you have ever wanted to place objects in a scene randomly then you know it's a lot of work you either have to use geometry nodes or the particle system with natural clicker all you have to do is select the objects you want to scatter and then click away while you click is where the object is added you can enable random scale and rotation so that your objects don't look too similar number 12 we have wiggle bonds wiggle bonds more like gigabonds you can use wigger bonds for secondary animation it uses physics to give secondary bones natural animation bonds
