Easy Block Saver earns its place in the superhive library as a focused modeling utility: it saves blocking-phase work in a primitive-like form and brings it back whenever you need it, with documentation included and support across Blender 3.6 to 4.5.
Easy Block Saver is a Blender add-on built for the blocking phase of modeling. As you shape a model, it lets you store the status of your work in a form that is almost primitive for Blender, similar to Blender's own primitive meshes, so you can bring those shapes back and reuse them any time.
The add-on is compatible with Blender versions 3.6 through 4.5 and works across the Blender-Internal, Cycles, Eevee, and Freestyle render engines. It is distributed under the GPL license, in line with much of the wider Blender ecosystem.
Documentation is included to help you get up to speed, and a demo video is available for a closer look at the tool. If you spend time in the blocking phase and character blocking and want a way to save and reuse those shapes, Easy Block Saver keeps that part of the process within reach.
Easy Block Saver (50% Off) is best for blender artists working through the blocking phase of modeling and character blocking who want to save and reuse their blocking-phase work.
Easy Block Saver (50% Off) is completely free to download and use.
Easy Block Saver lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.6 through 4.5, so it covers 4.5 along with the earlier releases in that range. It also works across the Blender-Internal, Cycles, Eevee, and Freestyle render engines. If you are running a version outside the stated 3.6 to 4.5 span, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond that range is not confirmed here.
Easy Block Saver supports the Blender-Internal, Cycles, Eevee, and Freestyle render engines, so it fits into several of Blender's rendering setups. Its main role is in the blocking phase, where it stores the status of your model in a form similar to Blender's primitive meshes that you can reuse any time. For details on how the tool behaves with a specific engine, the included documentation and the developer's page are the best places to look.
Easy Block Saver is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The tool is distributed under the GPL license, and documentation is included to help you get started. A demo video is also available if you want to see more before adding it to your Blender workflow.
Easy Block Saver is distributed under the GPL license, the same open-source license used across much of the Blender ecosystem.
