Blocks by Google

Google strikes again with another VR creative tool. Blocks feels much different than Tilt Brush, the latter having a very clean and polished UI design, while Blocks opts for a more chubky, limited, low-poly style. Whether this is a good thing is up to you, but for my purposes it gets the job done.
Blocks makes it super easy to make simple, good looking 3d models. Unlike Tilt Brush, which relies on brushstrokes, Blocks uses 3d volumes that you can manipulate.
There's a lot of missing features - Scaling faces and edges, in-game snapshot, expanded color pallete, etc. But for what it is, and considering its price (free!), it's definetly worth picking up

I suck at drawing. I suck at Tilt Brush. I suck way less in Blocks. The devs have really done something special here.

Just made a model for my game that I like more than anything I've made in a 2D modeller. Im a beginner but still

Can make some great stuff with this, fantastic for exporting to Unity or 3D printing.

Outta nowhere Google strikes again with a fun creative tool similar to Tiltbrush. You're given shapes to draw with. Colors to paint with, copy/paste, with a really really simple interface. Those who want a space in VR to create, Google provides...for free.
10/10 Would Google again.

This is awesome! Definitely the next step in 3D modelling (although very basic at the moment).
I'd like to see the ability to import custom materials and existing 3D models in future, but for now, a great starting point and fun to try out!

And Google surpises us again. And this is wonderful. As long as Google has a little love for VR, I am more than sure we will see in the future more and more little applications like this.
Blocks can't really compete with Tilt - which is a complete Paint in VR -, as well it does not give you the WoW-Effect of a Google Earth. But overall it is shines because of its perfect playability, it's simple and easy to lean mechanics.
Since I am not that a big painter nor am I really interested in modelling or drawing I am normally not getting too much into those games or programs. But from my perspective I can see that some of you guys will have a great creative time with Blocks and you will construct or paint some impressive work.
Since it is free, it is a must-have in every VR library.
Thank you Google for being this special company that is really putting money into Research and Development. You push the limits and you will bring connectivity in the world to a new level in the coming years.
PS: Also thank you for your plans to build the world biggest Data Center for 1 Billion Dollars in my home country. This will definitely ensure my pension for at least five years. :D
