ABO Connect
Access 8,000+ Free, High-Quality 3D Models.
Access a library of 8,000 free, high-quality 3D models.
That's the reality of the Amazon Berkeley Objects (ABO) dataset - an incredible, professional-grade resource that has remained largely inaccessible to the average artist. Why? Because managing a 140GB local library just to find one chair is a workflow nightmare.
So I built ABO Connect to change that.
This addon is not another model pack; it's a lightweight and efficient 🔗 bridge that connects your Blender viewport directly to the entire ABO database. It makes browsing and importing from this massive library as simple and intuitive as a local asset browser, without the colossal storage footprint.
✨ A More Efficient Workflow Awaits
✅ Instant Access to 8,000+ Free Assets
From furniture and electronics to home goods and toys, find exactly what you need to bring your scenes to life.
💾 A Smarter, On-Demand Workflow
The addon only downloads the models you choose to import, saving you tons of valuable disk space.
🎨 Intuitive Visual Browser
No more guessing games! Clean, thumbnail-driven interface lets you see exactly what you're getting before you import.
🔎 Powerful Search & Filtering
Quickly find the perfect asset with robust search, sorting, and filtering by category or product type.
🎯 Place Assets with Pinpoint Precision
Let's be honest, the standard workflow can be a drag: import to the world origin, find the object, drag it across your scene, and painstakingly align it.
ABO Connect introduces a workflow designed for speed and creativity. Simply enable the "Import to Cursor" feature, and new models will appear exactly where you place your 3D cursor.
💡 Hanging a lamp? Just click your cursor on the ceiling and import.
📚 Filling a bookshelf? Click along the shelf and populate it with assets in seconds.
🍽️ Setting a dinner table? Click, import, click, import. Done.
Who Is This For?
Whether you're an archviz artist, 3D artist, or a hobbyist, ABO Connect provides the assets you need to work more efficiently and creatively.
While professionally curated, paid asset libraries offer immense value and quality (and we love them!), I believe Blender users shouldn't miss out on this amazing, high-quality free resource. ABO Connect is the key to unlocking that potential.
Technical Details:
A powerful, lightweight Blender addon.
On-demand access to the complete ABO dataset.
Models in the standard glTF 2.0 format.
High-Quality PBR Textures (up to 4K Base Color, Metallic, and Roughness maps).
A Commitment to Your Workflow
While I've tested the addon thoroughly, the world of software can have unexpected quirks. If you encounter any issues, have a question, or have an idea for a new feature, I encourage you to reach out.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping me improve the tool for the entire Blender community.
