BlenderKit in Blender 2.8 🔗

We are happy to announce that since 29/03/2019 BlenderKit add-on is now in Blender 2.8 development builds. So no more downloading of the add-on from our website.

We started this adventure with the wish to bring something great to all Blender 3D users, as free as possible, and with maximum quality and the possibility to be sustainable at the same time.

For us, these targets are:

  • Bring a free material and brush library to Blender.
  • Make every ones workflow considerably faster.
  • Make the library sustainable by selling subscriptions.
  • Create a financial channel for other Blender artists and coders, that will be able to motivate the growth of the database, while keeping a large part of BlenderKit free for everyone.
  • Support and help with Blender development.

Besides committing the code (which we promise to improve continuously), we also subscribed to Blender Development Fund as Diamond sponsors.
