Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation suite that supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline like modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Some advanced users employ Blender’s API for Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools.

Blender is great for individuals and small studios who can benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development process. It runs well on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh computers and provides a consistent experience.
