Poly Haven is a public 3D asset library offering free CC0-licensed HDRIs, textures, and 3D models with no paywalls or signup requirements. All assets are handcrafted by artists and provided at high resolutions (HDRIs up to 16k; textures and models around 8k or more) for use in professional and hobbyist workflows. The project is community-funded via Patreon, run by a small team in South Africa, and consolidates HDRI Haven, Texture Haven, and 3D Model Haven into one platform, with tools like a Blender add-on to facilitate usage.
