Populate Your World

Adding details to your world

How do you populate your world?

Populating your world is as easy as dragging objects into your scene and replacing the primitives with 3D models.
Remember that the purpose of blocking was to focus on the design of the world, and not the details. Populating the world is all about adding the details.
This is the time to add the buildings, clouds, trees, and any other things into the worlds to make it come to life!

Do you need to create all your assets?

No

Building worlds requires a team of creators and collaborators.
For solo creators, it will take time to create all the assets that you want to add to your world.
Fortunately, there are creators and marketplaces where people post their creations for others to use in their world

These are called Assets

Where do you find assets for your world?

  • The internet is a great place to find assets to add to your world
