This repository holds an add-on for Blender (the README text spells the product Blendkit) for searching, downloading, uploading and rating assets from its asset service. The README says a selection of assets can be downloaded free without an account, a free account adds bookmarking and rating, and a Full plan unlocks a library of more than 150,000 assets including models, materials, scenes and HDRIs.

What it supplies: This repository holds an add-on for Blender (the README text spells the product Blendkit) for searching, downloading, uploading and rating assets from its asset service. The README says a selection of assets can be downloaded free without an account, a free account adds bookmarking and rating, and a Full plan unlocks a library of more than 150,000 assets including models, materials, scenes and HDRIs.

Useful for: - Find and drag models, materials and HDRIs into a Blender scene from within the 3D viewport.
- Upload your own assets as a creator.
- Diagnose download failures using the add-on's client log.

First action: - Download the add-on zip from the website.
- In Blender open Preferences, Add-ons, Install, choose the zip and enable it.
- Open the panel in the 3D Viewport, search for an asset and drag it into the scene.

Prerequisites and limits: Works inside Blender through a local client; the README says download errors show the asset name, reason and last step, and full diagnostics are in Blender's console and the add-on's Client log under Preferences. It gives no Blender version in the text read.

- Many assets require a paid Full plan.
- Asset licences are set per asset and must be checked before use; the README does not list them.
- Logs may hold credentials, which the README says to remove before sharing.

The README shows a project licence badge and calls the add-on free and open source, but does not name the licence in the text read here; check the repository's licence file. Assets from the service carry their own licences and plan terms.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
