About blender/blender
Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation suite written primarily in C++ that provides comprehensive tools for the entire 3D production pipeline. The software supports modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, and video editing, making it a complete solution for digital artists, animators, and visual effects professionals. Its broad feature set positions it as a competitive alternative to commercial 3D software packages.
The project is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 3, with individual files potentially carrying compatible alternative licenses. Development is managed through a formal structure including build instructions, code review systems, bug tracking, and dedicated developer forums and documentation. The repository serves as an official mirror on GitHub, though users are advised to use specific Git LFS configuration when cloning to avoid errors with large files.
