Blender
The Free and Open Source 3D Creation Software
Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation suite supporting the full pipeline of modeling, sculpting, rigging, animation, VFX, rendering, and more. It is licensed under the GNU GPL and owned by its contributors, making it freely available forever. A large global ecosystem of communities, add-on developers, and businesses has grown around the software.
Blender provides a comprehensive, Python-extensible suite of 3D tools — including a path-tracing render engine, sculpting, animation, rigging, VFX tracking, and 2D drawing — all within a single open-source application.
