  Before I begin my review, you may want to understand why I think this add-on is great.
  Back in Jan 2019 I had a major stroke. I lost all my freelance clients and can no longer work. I have neuropathy in my hands so I look for add-ons that will drastically cut back on my hand/mouse use. I currently can only use a drawing tablet. So, now I only do Blender as a hobby. Anyways (to shorten the story).

  Botanig is a great add-on that provides a lot of premade assets such as trees, shrubs, flowers, plants, pots and grass. It even come with a particle system to make it easier. That alone has already saved me tons of time (hurting hands), so I don’t have to make them by hand. That alone is worth the money. The quality of the assets are great.

  Even though this add-on is very easy to use, you will have to figure this out on your own as there is no documentation yet (as of 2/23/21). You are supplied with the url to their Discord server to get help; which I did use.

  And of course with any add-on like this and blenders LIMITATIONS, if you have too many assets (particles) in your scene Blender will crawl. This is Blenders limitation and not Botanig’s limitation.

  Overall, I give this add-on 5 stars because of all the hard work and quality of the assets in the add-on. I recommend this to anyone who needs a great selection of natural assets!!

  This is a fantastic addon. Let me be clear about this. I already use Graswald and Real Trees. Both are great products. So, do you need Botaniq? The answer is yes. Because it is simply a huge. collection of beautiful high quality vegetation. Even if you own other packages, this will add much more possibilities for your scenes.

  Sometimes the imagination for your scenes get much more far beyond, because you be inspired by the possibilities you have. It is easy to use, functional, and a good investion, because the collection will grow. Grab it. You will not regret it. It is great value. Thank you guys for creating this.

  Pretty nice addon to have specially if you are on making some nature stuffs, it's a time saver. Although here is my reason why I put 4 stars.

  My only concern is that it needs more tree in the collection it's still not enough, I would like to see something like Sakura tree model and maple tree as it is quite essentials for making Spring season scenery. Also there is no autumn tree option, Although this one can be change within material, it would be a life saver if there is a one stop button that can do it faster rather than going to the nodes to change it.

  Other than that I have no problem with the add-on, it's stable in my side.

  Thanks for the feedback Nakai, we're a lil bit sad about the 4 stars tho but we'll make sure to add your assets anyway in a timely manner.

  The feature you request (changing seasons with a button) is in the plans already and should make it into botaniq soon.
