More info

BlenderKit is a cloud-connected asset library built as an add-on for Blender that lets artists search, preview and drag-and-drop 3D models, materials, HDRIs, brushes, scenes and node groups directly into a Blender scene. The service offers a large free tier plus a paid Full Plan (which unlocks the complete database and features), and most assets are licensed for commercial and non-commercial use. See the official BlenderKit overview for the main feature list and licensing details. BlenderKit overview

In practice, BlenderKit speeds up look development and scene building by keeping assets searchable inside Blender’s UI and enabling creators to upload and earn through a fair-share system; the site also documents pricing and subscription tiers for individuals and businesses. The library keeps growing (BlenderKit announced major milestones as it expanded its catalog), and the platform recently extended support to distribute Blender add-ons through the same ecosystem. For details on plans and recent growth, check the BlenderKit pricing page and the project updates. Plans and pricing 100k assets milestone.
