Godot Asset Library vs Quaternius

Godot Asset Library is a free repository for finding community-submitted addons, scripts, tools, and other resources for Godot. Users can browse on the official website or download assets directly from within Godot. Templates, projects, and demos are standalone projects, while other asset types are intended to be added to an existing project. The web library offers filters for category, support level, engine version, and license, with sorting by license, name, or update date. Its labels distinguish hand-picked Featured assets from community-maintained submissions and Testing assets, which may contain bugs and are not recommended for serious projects. Browsing and downloads do not require an account, but uploading requires a registered account and sign-in. Asset entries point to third-party repositories rather than hosting files in the library. Each entry can cover only one Godot engine version, and editor downloads are limited to the version currently running. Changing web search settings requires submitting the search again. All assets are distributed free; paid assets cannot be uploaded.

Quaternius is a web catalog of game assets for personal, educational, and commercial projects. Its asset types include 3D models, animations, textures, source files, characters, environments, props, weapons, vehicles, and game kits, with packs covering characters, nature, animated assets, buildings, and vehicles. The QAL license is perpetual and royalty-free, allowing users to use, modify, and incorporate assets without attribution. It does not allow the assets themselves to be resold or redistributed as standalone files, packs, stock files, or templates. The Ultimate Animated Animal Pack contains 12 animals, each with more than 12 unique animations, in FBX, OBJ, glTF, and Blend formats. Models can be edited in Blender, and textures commonly use atlases. Free downloads cost nothing; paid Patreon tiers start at $10 a month.
