Read about that in the Add-on Policies section below. It aims to be attractive for artists and add-on developers to freely share their work on, even if they choose to be using third-party services such as Gumroad, Blender Market, or Patreon to generate revenues with the same or similar extensions. No commercialization will happen in the platform. The purpose of BE is to serve Blender users, helping them discover and download add-ons, themes, keymaps and asset libraries, entirely within the Free and Open Source spirit.īE will only offer GNU GPL compliant software, or CC-BY – SA compatible content. This, we propose, will become possible on the new Blender Extensions (BE) platform, to live at. This document dives deeper into that topic.Ī necessary stepping stone to get the latest Blender add-ons without having to leave Blender, is having a public listing of quality add-ons, backed and maintained by the Blender community. One of the key features was to have a way to automatically get updates for Blender add-ons. Earlier this year, Blender chairman Ton Roosendaal published a roadmap mentioning a need to investigate useful ways Blender could connect to the Internet.
