Simulation, loops and geometry objects: What is next for Geometry Nodes? The Animation & Rigging module recently organised a workshop: The Future of Character Animation This post describes its goals & outcomes

Design of a new system to use, tweak, and share brush assets anywhere in Blender, from sculpting to texture painting

This document describes the vision for a new way to create and share content with Blender through Blender Apps

Free and Open Source

Blender is a public project hosted on blender org, licensed as GNU GPL, owned by its contributors

For that reason Blender is Free and Open Source software, forever Learn more *Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation and animation software. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline - modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation Blender is cross-platform and runs equally well on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh computers. Its interface uses OpenGL to provide a consistent experience. It i.
