Blender: A Powerful Free 3D Graphics Tool

Blender is a very powerful free graphics tool that offers an astonishing array of features, Blender is an open source 3D graphics program which is completely free, a quite remarkable fact when you consider what this utility packs under the bonnet – namely a highly comprehensive set of modelling tools.

Blender has been going for over two decades now, allowing users to create 3D stills, or full broadcast quality videos, with a real-time 3D engine that is capable of producing interactive 3D content.

The program even has its own integrated game engine (written in C++), and users can code their own game logic, make use of Python scripting API for artificial intelligence, and port models made within Blender to any third-party game engine.
Despite its big aims and broad functionality, Blender is designed with a small footprint and fast modelling process in mind. A slick workflow is promised, with keyboard shortcuts to make the modelling process as swift as possible.
Blender’s sculpting tools encompass 20 different brush types, and the program offers a vast array of lighting and shadow effects, along with accurate shaders to render the likes of glass and translucency with an ultra-realistic appearance.
The program also has fast rigging tools to ensure that posing your 3D models is made easier, and an animation toolset which allows for independent movements via Non Linear Animation, complex walk-cycles and other intricacies such as the synchronisation of sound with the animation.
Blender comes with a full compositor, along with camera and object tracking that allows the user to import and track footage, and then mask areas, with a real-time preview of the 3D scene provided.

It can also be used to deliver accurate simulations of fire and smoke, water and other fluids, the destruction of objects in your rendered scenes and much more.
