Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports
|
|
the entirety of the 3D pipeline — modeling, rigging, animation,
|
|
simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, and video
|
|
editing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Blender is a public project, made by hundreds of people from around the
|
|
world; by studios and individual artists, professionals and hobbyists,
|
|
scientists, students, VFX experts, animators, game artists, modders, and
|
|
the list goes on.
