BlenderKit 2.8 beta + free models
Vilem Duha writes:
BlenderKit introduces addon for blender 2.8. While there are still many changes in blender happening, which may cause the addon will work today and not tomorrow, the addon should be mostly working fine, and we try to keep the new version updated with the latest blender builds.
Free models
To further extend the free plan and enable users the experience of all features, we enabled about 20 models as free and these are available as ‘freebies’ category. The model database now grows almost every day.Subscriptions
You can now support the BlenderKit initiative through subscriptions, where you get full access to all 3d models + several extra addons. Of course, an even better support is sharing your own content.There are many new features and assets, best way to check it out is to install the add-on from www.blenderkit.com
Server error when one tries to register on your website…..
Me too i have the same problem..
Thanks a lot for reporting this to us. We had so many registrations recently we didn’t notice these errors are happening to some registrations today. We allready discovered the cause of the bug, and fixed it, so you should be able to register now. We will send a message to people for whom registration failed.
Looks very nice! One big point though, why should i pay for something i cant even see. I cant see what assets are available. So this is essentially like gambling?? You never know what you will get.
Another point, the payed plans come with extra addons. What are they? I think you really need to inform possible customer better. You ask money but dont show what they are getting. Why does a pro need 10gb of storage, again not explained.
Its all very vague what is supplied
Hi, thanks for asking.
First question – You can install and use blenderkit addon for free, no need to buy anything. The materials and brushes are for free, and you can search all models that are in the databse – and see what you’d be possibly buying, since only the models are for subscription.
Regarding addons:

the Optiloops addon will have a video presentation this week.
I know the web is unfinished, and try to get it there, unfortunately it’s not my part of work.
Hi, thanks for your questions.
Regarding seeing what you buy:
– the addon is for free, as are materials and brushes. From the addon, you can see all models database. So no gambling. Quite sad the presentation isn’t clear enought.
The addons presentation is also unfinished, although there is a short text at least.

Optiloops is a new addon, video coming hopefully this week finally.
What do you mean by “you can see all models database”. I saw thos big hexagon cards but they only highlight, they are not clickable so i cant browse the section to check models. That asset page only shows 1 image per category. How can expect people to buy something if you cant see it?
Go check any other model asset website and you can view all models before buying.

I think you should finish items first, now an incomplete presentation. Thats isnt a good first impression.
Also still not clear why the Pro package needs that 10gb of storage?
you can see all models when searching from the addon directly. It takes a minute to install.
regarding the extra storage, it’s private storage, so the storage you can use for your assets that you don’t want to share with the community.
Sorry i must sound like a complete A-hole. I was just thinking your website looks so wonderful! Im a graphic design and i love the design you made. It just lack a bit of proper info.
Why not add the models to the website. My guess is that you will get this question about the models a lot. Though you can show the models in the addon, making them show on the website would be better. I think people will be less trigger happy for those buy package if they cant see properly what is being proposed
Hi, thanks for your answer. No you don’t sound as an A… at all, thanks for your feedback.
The reasons for not having the db online by now several, but the main being the fact that we are a very small team, and put our efforts into having this work flawlessly inside blender. So the web has to wait a bit still.
Do think about it though, because you website is where you want to make money right? If you dont propose you product well, buyers will be a bit held back to buy something
