Aimed world-wide at media professionals and artists, Blender can be used to create 3D visualizations, stills as well as broadcast and cinema quality video, while the incorporation of a real-time 3D engine allows for the creation of 3D interactive content for stand-alone playback.
Originally developed by the company Not a Number (NaN), Blender now is continued as Free Software, with the source code available under the GNU GPL license. It now continues development by the Blender Foundation in the Netherlands.
