There are plenty of creative tools made by indie developers, including 3D modeling and sculpting tools. Most of Google's creative tools are aquihires (Tiltbrush, Soundstage) although Blocks appears to be internally developed. Some cool ones I can think of off the top of my head include SculptVR, Kodo, VRTX, Bound, Tvori and King Spray.

Thanks for the list will definitely check them out.

Think my main worry is the existence of the big players making things like this on a whim or acquiring things like this on a whim then dumping them (Let's be real here no way will google still by supporting tilt brush in 5 years) puts more indie devs off exploring this space.

MMVR too, which is, iirc, basically an attempt to create a full-scale modeling tool in VR.
I failed to find anything named that other than a medical app. I eventually realised you meant "Mesh Maker VR".

Sigh. My crusade against over-use of acronyms by people who want to save themselves 2 seconds typing continues!

Sorry, my bad - I thought that was actually its formal name, as that's what I'm used to seeing it called by the person who created it.
Holey-moley - he's just open-sourced it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/6ltk6p/mesh_maker_vr_...

This is a really interesting move.

Can't find Kodo and Bound seems to be a PSVR game?

Got any links?

Guessing the parent mean Kodon (which I've had bookmarked for a while -- hasn't gone on sale yet): http://store.steampowered.com/app/479010/Kodon/
Sorry, I meant Unbound, not Bound, which is a PSVR game. http://unbound.io. The reply below is correct, I meant Kodon and not Kodo.
