Those still due before the end of the year – which would mean that changes roll out in Blender 4.0 – include the transition to Vulkan for viewport rendering, and the ‘Eevee Next’ overhaul of Blender’s real-time renderer. Projects due for release in Blender 3.6 next month include the new node-based simulation framework, with light linking in Cycles and an overhaul of dynamic topology also available in experimental branches.

The link above goes to their homepage, which I’ve done because there is quite a lot of fun and educational videos and articles on the site which I recommend checking out if you’re interested in the wider world of Blender modeling or want to check out some helpful tutorials.īut if you’re simply looking to use BlenderNation for its impressive array of models and rigs, some of which are free, then you can check out their library instantly by following this link to their models and rigs section.The Blender Institute has updated its list of key development targets for Blender this year, forming a 2023 roadmap for the open-source 3D software.

This makes BlenderNation the ideal place to be if you’re not only looking for Blender models for personal and professional use, but if you also want to get actively involved with, or even advertise yourself within, the larger 3D modeling community. If you’re looking to share your own creations, findings, or even just observations with the large community BlenderNation has cultivated, you’ll be happy to know that they’re always open for user submissions. Unlike Blend Swap however, it acts as a news source for 3D modeling as well as a Blender file sharing site.

With Sketchfab you can not only find a huge library of Blender models and other 3D artworks, it’s perfect for collaborative projects as it makes file sharing a breeze without having to take up precious Dropbox space.Īs well as buying or trading models on Sketchfab, you can also sell any of your creations. As soon as you load up Sketchfab, you’ll be greeted by exactly what you should expect from the sprawling online marketplace for 3D modeling, and that’s just the beginning.
