This Blender add-on is designed for bulk downloading of assets (Free and Full) from BlenderKit.com in ".blend" format. Main reason for its existence is that the Official add-on requires you to manually enter the link and save the project file for each asset.
UI is located in Sidebar (toggle by N key), in [BK Downloader] tab :
Links file – text file containing list of links (one per line) to each desired resource
Output path – folder where the downloaded ".blend" files will be saved
API Key – downloading assets released under Full plan requires a paid subscription. But you can get a lot fo them here.
Delay – delay in seconds before starting download of new asset after the previous one has finished downloading (additional random 1–5 seconds will be added to it for each asset).
Console – displays a list of assets to download, their order numbers, names, and current downloading status. When finished, you'll see a report on successful/failed downloads.
Tested in Blender 4.2.6 LTS. If you have any suggestions for improving the add-on or bug reports, please write in this thread.
Is this legal ?
Assets downloading are performed via their open API. Links to each asset can only be obtained from their official website. Downloading assets from Full plan without an API key (paid subscription) is not possible with this add-on, nor is downloading Private assets (hidden by the author) possible. So, using this add-on is completely legal and cannot lead to ban, as long as you don't download hundreds of assets with 0.1 second delay in 24/7, of course.How to install ?
Just like any other add-on for Blender:
1) Upper left corner of Blender
2) Edit
3) Preferences...
4) Upper right corner of the opened window
5) [↓]
6) Install from disk...
7) Select the downloaded .ZIP file.
The add-on is activated automatically.Download :
GitHubI appreciate you taking the time to research and post these fun little programs and hacks.
While doing my yearly backup and migration of the past year's worth of accumulated Daz and Blender stuff, I realized just how much shit I have and how much of it I've never used and probably won't.
I'm taking my own advice and now ask if I'll really truly use it or do I just want because it's gorgeous or cool. Going through the latest posts this morning I saw a few goodies that where exactly that. The DieselPunk Street set is seriously fun but I know I'll never use it, or any part of it so I walked on by. My hard drive gave a sigh of relief.
