Happy Black Birthday 2022 🔗

How old is this BlenderKit? 4? That's 32 years according to the cat age calculator!* That would be the amount of work we had with our service.

So what's happened in the last year? First let's check the stats:

  • We've had over a thousand creators! We welcome all newcomers!
  • These creators have already stuffed our database with 19,000 assets. The percentage of assets that are free has risen to 58% this year.
  • There are already over 382,000 of you registered. Should we even try to count that anymore?
  • We've sent $33,400 to the Blender Development Fund this year.

And what's new on BlenderKit?

What's next?

We're making some improvements to the gallery on the site, and we're finally getting an improved scoring system. We're also hoping to show a little surprise we're working on during the Blender Conference.

Don't forget to take advantage of our gift of a 25% discount on your subscription and keep it forever.
