BlockSurfaces
Blocksurfaces new version for Blender 4.4
Are you looking for creative freedom to model amazing 3D characters? BlockSurfaces is the perfect tool for both beginners and advanced users in character art.
Forget about the limitations of outdated tools or simply stacking objects to do the block. Enjoy a much more creative workflow with great freedom to bring your ideas to life. Additionally, BlockSurfaces allows you to do the block of all types of characters, from the simplest for starting in character art to the most complex, with possibilities such as duplicating limbs and testing different compositions for your characters or creating muscles that simulate their behavior, you can pose the characters without rigging knowledge, and finally generate the mesh to sculpt and give it the finishing touch.
You will achieve solid and professional results by focusing on the base shapes before adding details in the sculpting. This way you will build a solid structure going from general to specific.
BlockSurfaces accelerates your workflow and makes tedious tasks easy, making character modeling fun and fast.
With BlockSurfaces, you can quickly get started by learning to use 3 or 4 functionalities that you can already use to create characters. And as you progress and add more skills, you will be able to get the most out of it by making characters as complex as you want.
With BlockSurfaces your imagination will have no limits.
In addition, you can continue working in Blender or take your blocking to your preferred sculpting program.
But don't just take my word for it. Check out the YouTube channel for more than 240 videos with hours of timelapses, tutorials, and a full manual video explaining each option in each panel of the addon.

These are some of the features that make BlockSurfaces the ideal tool for any 3D artist:
Simulate Rig: Pose your character without Rig.
- Duplicate branches with hierarchies
- Target to Active Tool
- Mirror Target to Active
- Edit, move, rotate, scale, and even sculpt the objects of the branch.
- Duplicate branches or parts of them.
- Replace objects in the branch with others.
- Insert N objects between 2 selected ones.
- Edit the objects of the branches independently or modify several linked ones.
- Reposition the selected objects of the branch on a curve.
- Adjust the rotation and scale of the intermediate objects to the selected ones.
- Perform mirroring of the final mesh or the branches if you need to work asymmetrically later.
- Convert the branches into a type of branch called BlockMuscle to simulate muscle behavior.
- Build muscles with a simple click for every insertion.
- With FlatMuscles, create flat surfaces to simulate membranes.
- Now you can do hard surface blocking with BlockSurfaces. I am working on new ideas for BlockHardSurfaces (which is currently very basic) in order to offer more possibilities and improve the hard surface blocking experience in the future
- Save time by creating hierarchies for branches with BlockSurfaces tools and you'll be able to articulate and pose your characters with ease.
- Generate the complete final model or by parts ready for sculpting.
- You can switch between blocking and final mesh work modes in BlockSurfaces, allowing you to modify and redo parts or entire models as needed.
and much more...
With all these features, BlockSurfaces is the perfect tool to take your work to the next level.
Try BlockSurfaces now and transform your character blocking workflow forever!

Blocksurfaces Reference TOOL is a Blender add-on designed to simplify and speed up the process of preparing reference images before starting 3D modeling in Blender. With this add-on, you can quickly and efficiently set up your references, either by importing images or creating visual references directly in the 3D view using the Grease Pencil tool.
Features:
- Position images dragged into 3D space: Drag and drop your images directly into the Blender scene and position them as reference points with a single click, for visual reference in the front and side views.
- Create references with Grease Pencil: Draw on the 3D view to generate custom references and adapt them to your specific needs.
-
Configure opacity and position: Adjust the transparency of the references and their distance from the model to optimize visualization during the modeling process.
