Today we revisit Blockbench (we first reviewed this application back in 2020) a powerful, but completely free and open-source 3D modelling application for Mac, Windows, Linux and even the Web. It is one of the easiest to use 3D modelling applications in existence and in addition to modeling also is capable of texturing and painting.Features of Blockbench:Low-poly ModelingBlockbench puts all the tools at your disposal to make the creation process of low-poly models as easy as possible.Use cuboids to get that Minecraft aesthetic, or create complex low-poly shapes using the mesh modeling tools!Texturing ToolsCreate, edit and paint texture right inside the program. Create or import palettes, paint, or draw shapes.Blockbench can automatically create a UV map and template for your model so that you can start painting right away.You can paint directly on the model in 3D space, use the 2D texture editor, or connect your favorite external image editor or pixel art software.AnimationsBlockbench comes with a powerful animation editor. Rig your model, then use position, rotation and scale keyframes to bring it to life. Use the graph editor to fine-tune your creation.View Blockbench animationsPluginsCustomize Blockbench with the built-in plugin store.Plugins extend the functionality of Blockbench beyond what its already capable of.
