Blender 5.0.1/ 4.5.5 LTS/ 3.6.23 LTS – Free 3D Creation Suite

Blender is a free, open-source, and feature-rich 3D creation suite that combines every aspect of 3D design into a single, cohesive platform. It supports modeling, sculpting, texturing, animation, rendering, compositing, post-production, and even video editing, making it a complete solution for both beginners and professionals in the creative industry. Blender is a cross-platform application available for Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, IRIX, and Sun Solaris, offering stable performance and a flexible workflow across all operating systems.

Blender’s modeling tools are highly efficient, enabling precise control over geometry creation and editing. With powerful modeling tools, users can shape detailed objects, add materials and textures, and render through Cycles or Eevee for high-quality or real-time output. The animation system is robust and supports everything from simple keyframe animations to advanced character rigs, motion capture data, and physics-based simulations like smoke, cloth, fluids, and particles.

Blender features a built-in compositor and video sequence editor for post-production, enabling users to handle color correction, cutting, and effects directly within the program. Its rendering engine supports both GPU and CPU processing, ensuring fast and precise output based on system performance.

Its versatility includes workflows for motion graphics, VFX, game modeling, and architecture, while the Grease Pencil tool adds full 2D animation capabilities. It lets users draw within the 3D scene, creating hybrid projects that combine both dimensions.

Everything you produce with Blender — from graphics and animations to scripts and 3D models — remains fully your property. Its open-source license (GNU GPL) gives you complete freedom to use, modify, share, and even sell your creations. Whether you are a hobbyist, student, or professional artist, Blender offers a powerful and unrestricted environment to explore your creativity and bring any visual idea to life.

Modeling

• A variety of 3D objects, sorted together with polygon meshes, NURBS surfaces, Bezier, and B-spline curves, metaballs, and vector fonts (TrueType, PostScript, OpenType)
• ‘Smooth proxy’ type Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces
• Boolean mesh features
