Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about Botaniq, Botaniq 7, Engon, etc in the comments below! :)

[@Goofer]

Thanks for the video! To fix the rotation set the Rotation to Object Y, randomize to 0, random phase to 0 and phase to 0 as well. Now you have all the assets pointed up as a starting point.

[@imzamborno]

thanks a lot, was struggling with that

[@polygoniq]

Hi Justin, thank you for making this video, and happy to hear you like the new system. You managed to explain everything very clearly and thoroughly :)

[@patrizioansaloni4891]

the weird of rotation is unacceptable for an add-on of this level

[@lethalintersection]

I honestly prefer the previous layout esp for scattering objects, now have to make a new workspace for Botaniq the presets were much easier to use , i just hope now they focus on adding more assets and impove the tree trunk Quality
Keeping my fingers crossed for the Palm trees to get, though I'll probably die dreaming 😢

[@yussufabukar32]

Thank you for sharing this ❤

[@paulwebb311]

Love the Polygoniq addons 🔥👍🔥 I only have the lite version on Botaniq (full on the others ☺️) but even the lite version there’s so much to choose. And so easy with Engon. Love the videos 👍🔥

[@zachhoy]

I have a workaround for the Global Z rotation problem, basically just rotate the mesh of each tree in edit mode 90deg on X or Y (forget which) and it fixes it.

[@ratus69]

yes to get best results and use phase normally just turn the mesh to 90° on Y axis

[@virtual3dworld_1000]

Cool

[@GlennAndrewSmith]

Thanks, really interesting..

[@sheermagic]

Great Video I have a full version of Botaniq does it mean I have to purchase it all over again?

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Looks amazing unfortunately my version of Blender 2.9 won't run it ....need to update my computer and then update Blender.....

[@rinnobs5822]

hi sir.
how can i install botaniq 7 in blender version 4.1. please help me

[@Kinosei30]

Does Botaniq assets are optimisable for games (not done with Unreal 5)?

[@shockerson]

Dosnt work with 4.2 Alpha (Blender Default asset browser after Using Engon i installled Botaniq, Traffiq and zero assets added) , Engon is installing correct, Engon browser work correct but using Asset Browser without drag and drop option is a bit non effective.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Add-ons rarely work in the Alpha versions of Blender, as it's very difficult for the developers to get the add-ons updated this quickly. I'd go with one of the stable or LTS versions. I believe Botaniq is updated up to 4.0 right now (not 100% sure)

[@lethalintersection]

I'm going back to version 6.8 , version 7.0 gas been a massive headache for me, its overly complicated , i see no upside,
I hate the separate window i preferrd the pop up from the side since it'd just go away once i select my Asset instead of Constantly fiddling with tabs battling for screen Real Estate .
I cant find the Randomkze variant bottom
I hate that all the assets you add are just thrown into one folder instead of the separate folders of past versions for each plant type , now they are mixing my shrubs , flowers ,deciduous etc all in one folder.
Also the Scattering in the previous version was faster and more efficient

[@blastersekla]

i prefered the old system aswell, for scattering i suggest you use geo scatter which is much better and works fine and low poly surfaces
