Description

Poly Haven is a free community for visual effects artists and game designers that creates free 3D assets such as HDRIs, textures, and models.

Poly Haven is a public asset library that provides high-quality 3D assets. They are 100% free and public domain (CC0 license). This means you can use them for any purpose without restriction. All assets are on the Poly Haven website, along with a render gallery of projects created by members.

Additionally, members of Poly Haven can join a Discord server, which is also free, to interact with other designers worldwide. This server is great to ask questions, requesting support, and staying up-to-date on Poly Haven announcements.

Moreover, members also use the server to exchange career advice, share memes, and showcase their works in progress and final renders. This server also has an off-topic channel and another channel to share resources. Members even participate in casual coworking sessions in a voice channel as well.

If you want, you can support the community via Patreon and unlock additional benefits, starting at only $3/month. Some of the perks include early access to new assets, access to a cloud folder with all assets, and unlocking private channels in the Discord server.
