Open Blocks is a free fork of Blocks by Google, An app designed to make creating 3D models fun, easy, and accessible. We are in the process of making large number of changes. Please check our progress and our roadmap on our docs site.
We hope to maintain and improve upon Blocks as a community-led project, free forever!
As the original repo is archived we cannot submit PRs, so feel free to submit them here!

Note that despite a Windows build, it does work on Linux. For example one can add as a non-Steam game to their library, force compatibility with Proton experimental and run Open Blocks as-is, without any modification.
- Thank you to the original developers for your amazing work and for finding a way to open source the app!

Blocks is a Google trademark. If you intend to publish a cloned version of
the application, you are required to choose a different name to distinguish it
from the official version. Before building the application, go into App.cs and
the Player settings to change the company and application names to your own.
Please see the Blocks Brand Guidelines for more details.
Some systems in Blocks were removed or replaced with alternatives due to open-source licensing issues. These are:
- AnimatedGifEncoder32
- LZWEncoder
OculusVR mode and reference image insertion are not currently functional in this branch.
Legacy code is included to connect to Google APIs for People and Drive integrations. This is not critical to the Blocks experience, but is left as a convenience for any forks that wish to make use of it with a new backend.
You must register new projects and obtain new keys and credentials from the Google Cloud Console to make use of these features.
