Blender 3D graphics rendering application for modeling and rendering 3D graphics, animations and games with.

Blender exists for a large number of operating systems, including GNU / Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and FreeBSD.

Blender 3D graphics rendering application.

From the beginning, Blender developed internally at the Dutch studio NeoGeo and Not a Number Technologies (NaN). NaN was founded in June 1998 by the program's main author Ton Roosendaal with the purpose of further developing and distributing the program. Until NaN's bankruptcy 2002, Blender was available as shareware.

After the bankruptcy, the creditors agreed to release Blender as free software under GPL license in exchange for a one-off payment of 100,000 euros. A fundraising campaign began on July 18, 2002 and the target was reached September 7th of the same year. Blender is today a free and open program that is actively developed by the Blender Foundation.

Blender was used in the commercial film Spiderman 2, June 2004, including Tobey Maguire, James Franco. Another free movie made with Blender is Bucky.

Blender has previously been considered difficult to learn compared to other 3D programs. Almost every feature has a shortcut, and with the number of functions Blender offers, it often results in a button having several different keyboard shortcuts attached to it (using CTRL, ALT, etc.).

Ever since Blender became open source, many have helped add menus to the features and much work has been done to make the tools more logical and streamlined. The user interface has also gained momentum: a thematic system, transparent tool windows, and other small improvements have been added.

Blender has recently come close to the quality and variety of tools found in the leading commercial programs, such as Maya and 3ds Max.

Note: Blender 2.8 has been released, with over a thousand fixes and several important updates that were planned for the 2.8 series.

In this release 2.82 you will find UDIM and USD support, MantaFlow fluids and smoke simulation, AI denoising, Grease Pencil improvements, and much more!
