Blender overview

Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline-modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, video editing and 2D animation pipeline.

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.

Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

What’s new in version 4.3.0

  • The real-time renderer EEVEE now supports Light Linking and Shadow Linking—features previously available only in Cycles.
  • A new Metallic BSDF node has been added to the shader editor.
  • This new node exposes existing, but hard to access metallic material configurations in a small node.
  • The F82 Tint approximation is artist friendly, taking colors as inputs. This is currently in use by the Principled BSDF.
  • A new texture node was added that can create procedural Gabor noise for random interleaved bands with controllable direction and width.
  • Forget F12. EEVEE passes are now available for interactive compositing.

Tremendously awesome free 3D package that does a huge amount of stuff at a pro level. Using it to produce photorealistic renders of product prototypes and a few abstract animation pieces, I am aware I have just barely scratched the surface of what it can do.
