Overview
Blockbench is a free and open-source low-poly 3D modeling software designed for creating models with a distinct, blocky aesthetic, reminiscent of Minecraft. It features a cuboid-based modeling system along with mesh modeling tools for more complex shapes. The tool includes integrated texturing capabilities, allowing users to create, edit, and paint textures directly within the program. Users can generate UV maps automatically, paint in 3D space, and connect to external image editors. A powerful animation editor is also included, supporting model rigging and keyframe animation with position, rotation, and scale controls. Blockbench's functionality can be extended through a built-in plugin store, enabling support for new export formats, model generators, and custom tools. Its open-source nature and GPL license make it suitable for any project type.
