If you’ve been in the xr creator community for a while you might remember the modeling tool Blocks from google. I remember getting really into creating worlds with it (I’ll need to dig up some sketches) but Blocks went silent a while back and not a lot of actions has happened since. But! today they announced that they have moved Blocks to be open sourced, hence the rebrand of [OpenBlocks](https://docs.openblocks.app/blog/introducing-open-blocks)

This is really sweet to see as we’ve seen the success of Tiltbrush live on through [OpenBrush](https://openbrush.app/). More opensource goodness ya know [@jsdbroughton](https://community.arkio.is/u/jsdbroughton)

[@Johan](https://community.arkio.is/u/johan) shared this a few moments ago and I figured some peeps in the community would like it
