New Web Gallery 🔗
As some of you may have noticed, BlenderKit has a new web gallery.
This was a huge project. While redesigning the gallery, we put a lot of thought into your feedback. Our main goal was to make the process of finding assets as fast and smooth as possible. With the aim to create an interactive experience, many features were added and others were improved.

New Gallery Key Features 🔗
See what we have done for you:
Mobile-Friendly: We know that many of you search for assets on your phones. Therefore, it was a priority for us to ensure that the new gallery functions better on mobiles.
Added Bookmarks: Bookmarks were added not only to help you keep favorite assets, but also to implant an enhanced mobile to desktop workflow. You can now save assets on your phones and have them ready for you when you open BlenderKit.
New Categories Sidebar: The new sidebar is meant to simplify and expedite the navigation within the assets database. Among the asset categories, creators and creations were integrated into the sidebar.
Appearance Order: In the new gallery, you have an increased control over the order in which assets are shown. For example, you can choose to look first at the most bookmarked assets or the assets of highest complexity.
We care about your opinion 🔗
As always, we are interested in your opinions. Please, send us feedback and let us know how the new gallery fits you. Thanks!

How to Run Blender and BlenderKit on ARM64 Based Linux Systems
While it is possible to install Blender on aarch64/ARM64 based machines, it has some catches. Blender in this configuration does not rely on its internal Python interpreter, but instead on the Python interpreter installed on operating system. This might cause problems with Blender add-ons which need to install additional 3rd party Python modules.
