Blender is a free software 3D graphics program, available for many operative systems, for example GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. Among the features there are UV editing, animation tools, game engine with a physics simulator, video editor and many modeling tools. It has a fast development, and recent versions of Blender added sculpting and GLSL shading, improvements to the water simulation and big improvements to hair and fur rendering.
History
Blender was developed by the Dutch animation studio NeoGeo and Not A Number Technologies (NaN).
