Happy Black Birthday 2022 🔗
How old is this Blendkit (formerly BlenderKit)? 4? That's 32 years according to the cat age calculator!* That would be the amount of work we had with our service.
So what's happened in the last year? First let's check the stats:
- We've had over a thousand creators! We welcome all newcomers!
- These creators have already stuffed our database with 19,000 assets. The percentage of assets that are free has risen to 58% this year.
- There are already over 382,000 of you registered. Should we even try to count that anymore?
- We've sent $33,400 to the Blender Development Fund this year.
And what's new on Blendkit?
- Blendkit add-on has succesfully moved out of Blender.
- We've almost completely rewritten the add-on. It's more stable and faster. There are new search filters.
- You can comment on assets (on the server and in the add-on), and we also approve assets through comments now. We also started using comments in our asset validation process
- We released our affiliate program.
- Recurring payments can be paid via PayPal now.
- We have held the Blendkit Winter contest.
What's next?
We're making some improvements to the gallery on the site, and we're finally getting an improved scoring system. We're also hoping to show a little surprise we're working on during the Blender Conference.
