'''Blender''' is a [[free and open-source software|free and open-source]] [[3D computer graphics]] software toolset used for creating [[animated films]], [[visual effects]], [[art (disambiguation)|art]], [[3D printed]] models, [[motion graphics]], [[interactive 3D applications]], [[virtual reality]], and [[computer games]]. Blender's features include 3D modeling, [[UV mapping]], [[texturing]], [[raster graphics|raster graphics editing]], [[rigging (computer graphics)|rigging]] and [[skinning]], [[fluid simulation]], [[smoke simulation]], [[particle simulation]], [[soft body dynamics]], [[sculpting]], [[animating]], [[match moving]], [[rendering (computer graphics)|rendering]], [[video editing]] and [[compositing]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Blender was initially developed by [[Ton Roosendaal]] as an in-house application for the Dutch animation studio [[NeoGeo (company)|NeoGeo]] and [[Not a Number Technologies|Not a Number (NaN)]]. The software was released as [[shareware]] in 1998. In 2002, the software was released as [[open-source software]] under the terms of the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL), following a successful crowdfunding campaign.<br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
Blender provides a wide range of tools for various aspects of 3D production:<br />
<br />
* '''Modeling''': Blender supports a variety of modeling techniques, including [[polygonal modeling]], [[curve modeling]], and [[sculpting]].<br />
* '''Animation''': Blender includes a powerful animation system with support for [[keyframe animation]], [[non-linear animation]], and [[rigging (computer graphics)|rigging]].<br />
* '''Rendering''': Blender's rendering engine, [[Cycles (render engine)|Cycles]], is a path-tracing engine that provides realistic lighting and shading.<br />
* '''Compositing''': Blender includes a node-based compositing system for combining rendered images and effects.<br />
* '''Video Editing''': Blender's video sequence editor allows for basic video editing tasks such as cutting, splicing, and color grading.<br />
* '''Simulation''': Blender supports various simulation types, including [[fluid dynamics]], [[smoke simulation]], [[particle systems]], and [[soft body dynamics]].<br />
<br />
== Community and Development ==<br />
Blender is developed by the [[Blender Foundation]], a non-profit organization. The development is driven by a community of volunteers and funded by donations, grants, and the Blender Development Fund. The Blender community is active and provides a wealth of resources, including tutorials, forums, and user groups.<br />
<br />
== Applications ==<br />
Blender is used in a variety of industries, including [[film]], [[video games]], [[architecture]], and [[education]]. Notable projects created with Blender include the open movies produced by the Blender Foundation, such as ''[[Elephants Dream]]'', ''[[Big Buck Bunny]]'', and ''[[Sintel]]''.<br />
