Unreal HDRI Browser Plugin

Surprise! There is now an (unofficial) Unreal Engine plugin that gives you convenient access to our HDRIs directly in the editor! Exclusive to $5 Patreon supporters and customers on Fab.

Poly Haven 2024 Survey: Help us make more/better 3D assets for you!

UPDATE: The survey is now closed, thanks for all your responses! I'll share a summary of what we learn soon <3

Boy did those 5 weeks fly by quickly! If you’re out of the loop, in the last Dev Log we announced that we’re jumping into the deep end of game development with the long-term goal of improving our asset usability and funding diversity - more about that here!
