• Blocks v4.0 - 29 January 2018

  Blocks v4 is officially here with some of your most-requested features to make creating in Blocks even more precise and easier: - New environments: We’ve added alternative environments to include a dark environment, a plain white environment, and a plain black environment, along with the option to switch between environments. Just head to the Blocks menu and you’ll see a new environments tab, which looks like an image of a landscape. - Better snapping: We’ve improved the experience around snapping to be more predictable when being used. Lightly press the alternate trigger to see a line showing where one object will snap to another. A full press of the trigger will snap the object to the place it’s pointing. - Consistent alignment: We’ve added more consistency in alignment behaviors so that regardless of the tool you are using, alignment will always be consistent. - Welcome to Labs! We’v…

  The save selected feature, introduced in our v3.0 release, caused the application to crash when saving selected objects in specific scenarios. We have since added a fix for this crash.

• Blocks v3.0 - 29 November 2017

  Blocks v3 is here with some brand new features to make your modeling even more powerful: - We’ve improved the experience around selecting multiple objects to make your selections easier to see. Now if you select multiple objects they will become very transparent when your controller is close to them to make it easier to distinguish between selected and unselected meshes. - You can now save just a portion of your scene as its own model. Make a selection using the grab tool and then look for the “Save selected” option in the save menu. This is especially helpful if you are modeling from a kit! - You can now rotate faces while reshaping (previously only available while extruding). -. If you’re tired of waiting for the intro sequence to finish, you can now hold down both triggers to skip. - And plenty of performance improvements to make your complex model and scene creation smoother.

• Blocks v2.0 - 28 September 2017

  Blocks v2 is now live with a focus on making the end to end creation workflow easier: - You asked us for more export formats, we’re happy to deliver! Blocks will now export an .fbx file and a triangulated .obj file along with our existing obj file. Find options to download these formats in the Blocks gallery for your models, as well as others’ remixable models. - We’ve fixed a number of small issues around how our exported files can be interpreted by other tools. Our 3D exports should now work seamlessly in other tools, but let us know in the comments if any newly-saved models present issues in other programs. - Reference images are now easier to grab, show a highlight when hovered, can be snapped to the grid, and have a satisfying smash when thrown away. - We’ve made a number of performance improvements: Blocks should run much more smoothly when viewing and manipulating complex scenes.…

• Blocks v1.0.4 - 11 July 2017

  We've just released version 1.0.4 which contains the following: - A fix for reference image insertion. A previous bug would render the app unusable if you selected to insert a reference image while in the app but did not choose to actually do so. - A fix for OBJ exports containing specific types of subdivided cylinders. Faces were missing from a small set of OBJs due to this issue. It should be resolved for all similar models saved in the future. - Additional performance improvements to make the app run more smoothly.
