BlenderKit¶
BlenderKit is an online database of materials, brushes, and 3D models which you can search, download, upload and rate directly from the add-on.
有効化方法¶
Blenderを開き、 Preferences(プリファレンス)に行き、 Add-ons(アドオン) タブを開きます。
Click 3D View then BlenderKit Asset Library to enable the script.

Interface(インターフェイス)¶
Assetbar¶
参照
- Panel(パネル)
The Assetbar shows search results and allows you to interact with them. It pops up when the search results are retrieved from the server. The Assetbar can be shown or hidden by clicking the toggle with the eye icon next to the search field.

New, Used, Old, Desolate
- Designed In (min - max)
When the object was approximately designed in terms of year. Can be used for parallel worlds or future sci-fi dates (search for sci-fi assets by entering 2100 as minimum year).
- Poly Count In (min - max)
Use the poly count of 3D object for filtering.
- Texture Resolution (min - max)
Limit search to the texture resolutions in a range.

Import Method¶
参照
- Panel(パネル)
- Link(リンク)
Link 3D model into Blender scene. Linked models are saved in original files. To edit them, you need to open the model in the subdirectory of your project: -- assets/models. Linking helps to keep file size low.
- Append(アペンド)
Append 3D model into Blender scene. Appended objects are included and editable in your scene.
- Randomize Rotation(回転をランダムに)
Randomize the rotation of the model around the Z axis during placement in the Blender scene.
- Perpendicular Snap
Limit snapping if the angle is close to perpendicular angles to become exactly perpendicular. Useful for placing lamps on curved ceilings, or placing trees on slopes, or similar cases.
- Threshold(しきい値)
Limit perpendicular snap.
Materials Search Options¶
参照
- Panel(パネル)
Search filters:
- Procedural/Texture Based/Both
Limit search to only procedural or texture based materials.
- Texture Resolution
Limit search with resolution of the texture.
- File Size
Limit search with file size.
Categories¶
参照
- Panel(パネル)
Same as the model search.
- Set Category

Import Settings¶
- Auto-Map
Add cube mapping UV to the object after drag-and-drop. This allows most materials to be applied instantly to any mesh. BlenderKit generates a new UV map called 'automap' and doesn't replace your previous UV maps. It also resets the texture space of the target object to (1, 1, 1) which enables most procedural materials to have correct scaling.
アップロード（コミット）¶

Switch between asset types which are available to upload in BlenderKit.
共通のオプション¶

- Texture Size in Meters
If the material uses textures, this value sets the length of one side of the texture. This value is very important so that the materials apply with correct scale.

Selected Model/Name Panel¶
参照
- Panel(パネル)
This panel is shown if you select a 3D model downloaded from BlenderKit. The name of the model appears below.
- Bring to Scene
Bring the linked object hierarchy to a scene and make it editable. This is similar as if you would originally append the asset.
- Ratings
You can rate an asset by giving it stars (with a maximum of 10).

Estimate how many hour you saved thanks to this asset. Rating helps BlenderKit distribute rewards to authors, and thus it is very important for us that you rate assets and do it in a fair manner.
- Asset tools:
- Open Authors Website
Opens the link that the author has specified in a web browser.
- Show Assets by Author
Shows all assets uploaded by the author of the selected 3D model.
- Replace Active Models
Replace all selected assets with the last selected asset (active). If you use this option from the context menu, the target asset is downloaded and replaces selected assets.
The same options are available in the Assetbar context menu.
- Management Tools:
- Delete(削除)
Change asset status.
- Downloads:
This panel is visible when running downloads. You can cancel downloading of assets by pressing the
Xbutton. This cancels the download and deletes the file on your computer.
Preferences(プリファレンス)¶
- Show Assetbar when Starting Blender
Shows Assetbar after the Blender startup.
- Log Out
Log out from BlenderKit.
- Your API Key
The BlenderKit API Key stores your API key that is automatically retrieved when you log in to the service and is used to connect to BlenderKit server. Don't change this value manually.
- Global Files Directory
Global storage for your asset files. Set this up on a hard drive where you have enough space to store the assets.
- Project Assets Subdirectory
Name of the subdirectory where your assets will be stored. For each blend-file where you use BlenderKit assets, a subdirectory will be created in the same folder. This enables you to compress the whole directory and transfer it to a render farm or another workstation.
- Use Directories:
Which directories will be used for storing download data.
- Global(グローバル)
Store downloaded files only in a global directory. This saves drive space by storing assets only in one place. You have to pack your project carefully when transferring it to another computer, since the assets won't be in the subfolder of the current project.
- Local(ローカル)
Store downloaded files only in a local directory. This option can uses more bandwidth when you reuse assets in different projects, since the add-on won't find assets that are already in different folders. However, it enables you to pack your projects easily.
- Global and Subdirectory
Use both previously mentioned methods.
- Use GPU for Thumbnails Rendering
By default the CPU is used so that the user can continue their work while the thumbnail is rendered in the background.
- Asset Thumbnail Size
Size of the asset thumbnails in the Assetbar.
- Max Assetbar Rows
Number of rows in the Assetbar.
- Show Tips when Starting Blender
Show tips when starting Blender.
- Show BlenderKit Search in 3D Header
Show an extra search field in the header of the 3D Viewport. This enables a quick access to the search when the Sidebar is hidden.
