Communication with the Blender community is very important to us 🔗

In 2023 there were some great events:

Blendkit Discord channel is now open! Our Discord server is the ultimate hub for all 3D and Blender things. Connect with like-minded individuals, share projects, and get ready to collaborate, inspire, and learn from one another.

We are working on a new design for our web gallery. Via filters it will be possible to find modifiers, animated models and assets of your favorite creators and save them online.

In collaboration with polygoniq, we organized a one-day Blender conference in Prague, Czech Republic. The guest lecturers discussed games development, ArchiViz creation, VFX, 3D printing, sculpting, add-ons and archaeology. Vilém Duha, the CEO of Blendkit, offered a session on geometry nodes, which you can watch on Youtube. You can also watch other videos from the conference and learn something new.

We participated in BCON 2023 in Amsterdam! Members of our team gave presentations and shared their experience:

Andreas Gajdošík: Test, Build, Release: Streamlining Add-On Development with Automation

Amanpreet Bajwa: From Hobbyist to AAA: A Deep Dive into Tools and Techniques in Game Art
