Updates in Blender 2.82 🔗

UI Improvements 🔗

You can now access BlenderKit from the header of the 3D view, enabling faster access. The asset bar now opens when it completes a search automatically.
You can further choose to have Asset Bar open when you start Blender, with the latest uploads into the database.

All panels were improved, the rating (of models) is now also in the selected asset area.

Search improvements 🔗

Search on the server has been greatly improved, providing superior results.

We added many new advanced search options directly in the add-on, that will enable you to find what you need faster and more precisely. Search only in your own assets, models by poly count, procedural materials and more. Or type the name of your favourite author, and it will find his artworks.

Bugs and stability 🔗

We squashed a ton of bugs and made many small improvements. One to mention for sure is better Undo stability.

Further the list would be too long so we let you discover the new stuff while playing with our add-on ;)
