This entry is the official GitHub mirror of Blender, the free and open-source 3D creation suite. Blender covers the whole 3D pipeline in one application, from modeling and rigging through animation and simulation to rendering, compositing, motion tracking and video editing.
Artists and studios use it to produce models, animations and rendered images, and it is written mainly in C++. Project resources include a reference manual, a user community, a developer forum, build instructions, and a code review and bug tracker hosted on the project's own development site rather than on GitHub.
Blender as a whole is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3, and individual files may carry a different but compatible license. It is a desktop application installed locally, so there is no hosted edition to sign up for.
