About
Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation suite, licensed under the GNU GPL and developed by its contributors. The site describes tools for modeling and sculpting, including full N-Gon support, advanced sculpting brushes, multi-resolution and dynamic subdivision, and Python scripting for custom tools. It also highlights the Cycles render engine, which offers CPU and GPU rendering, PBR shaders, and HDR lighting support, along with camera and object tracking for VFX, and animation and rigging tools such as skeletal and automatic skinning, a curve editor, and dope sheets.
The site also covers 2D drawing directly in the 3D viewport with onion skinning, and a customizable interface with Python-based add-ons and Retina display support. It notes that Blender is supported by industry organizations and hardware vendors, and that a large community ecosystem of tutorials, add-ons, and marketplaces has grown around it. The page references the current 5.3 beta and the Blender LTS version, but the text provided does not specify the LTS release's details beyond that name.
