The Vaults: 175 New Patreon-Exclusive Assets (Patreon)
Content
In our last Dev Log we explained the idea of re-introducing asset vaults, and here we are already!
Check out the Vaults: https://polyhaven.com/vaults
There are currently 4 vaults of assets:
55 new wood materials
61 new studio HDRIs
31 new fabric materials
28 lunar assets
All $3+ Patrons can already access all 175 new assets in the Vaults - simply log in to the site and you’ll be able to download them; or they’re also available through our Blender add-on.
The full story is in that Dev Log, and a few more FAQs are on the Vaults page linked above, but TLDR: The Vaults are packs of temporarily-exclusive assets, each with a Patreon goal. Once the goal is reached, the assets are made free for everyone. Until then, they are only available to you guys.
Think of it like reverse-crowdfunding; we make the investment in developing new content, and trust that you guys will help us cover that down the road - all the while funding future content at the same time.
The big-picture goal is to use this to grow our Patreon support and eventually make our add-on free for everyone, moving away from selling products and towards community-supported sustainability.
