Description

Blender Overview

Blender is a free 3D graphics and animation editor. Despite its relatively small size, the functions of this package are quite sufficient for both ordinary users and professionals.

The program has all the basic tools that are used in professional 3D editors. The program includes tools for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, video processing, a set of options for creating interactive games, 3D visual effects and much more. Using this program, you can create realistic 3D paintings with the quality of digital photography.

Blender, like any professional 3D package, has a large number of primitives built in, from which you can assemble your own models. Various rings, cubes, spheres, cylinders, additional grids, etc.

The relatively small volume of the distribution contains a full-fledged editor core with all the main functions and a minimal set of textures/models/event handlers. Additional features are implemented by connecting plugins – both official ones created by the editor’s authors and those developed by users.

Blender Features

Animation
· Armature (skeleton) deformation with forward/inverse kinematics, auto skinning and interactive 3D paint for vertex weighting
· Non-linear animation mixer with automated walkcycles along paths
· Constraint system
· Vertex key framing for morphing, with controlling sliders
· Character animation pose editor
· Animatable lattice deformation
· ‘Ipo’ system integrates both motion curve and traditional key-frame editing
· Audio playback, mixing and editing support for sound synchronisation
· Python scripting access for custom and procedural animation effects

Realtime 3D/game creation
· Graphical editor for defining interactive behavior without programming
· Collision detection and dynamics simulation
