Blender has a variety of user interfaces, which are easy to use in different jobs, and has built-in advanced video solutions, such as green screen keying, camera reverse tracking, mask processing and post-node synthesis. Blender has Cycles renderer and real-time rendering engine EEVEE? . It also supports various third-party renderers.
Blender is designed for media workers and artists all over the world. It can be used for three-dimensional visualization, and it can also create broadcast and movie-quality videos. In addition, the built-in real-time 3D game engine makes it possible to play 3D interactive content independently (the game engine was removed in version 2.8? )。
The main goal of Blender Foundation is to find a way for Blender to continue its development and promotion as a community-based open source project. In July 2002, Ton successfully got NaN's investors to agree to Blender Foundation's unique plan to try to make Blender open source.
This "Liberating Blender" campaign tries to raise 654.38 million euros, so that the Foundation can buy the source code and intellectual property of Blender from NaN's investors and then hand it over to the open source community. A group of volunteers, including several former Yugoslav employees, enthusiastically launched a fund-raising activity for "Jiefang Mixer".
Surprisingly, the goal of 654.38 million euros was achieved in just seven weeks. On the Sunday of June 65438+1October 65438+March, 2002, Blender was released to the world under the GNU General License (GPL). The development of Blender has been going on, and diligent volunteer teams from all over the world, led by founder Ton, have been pushing this work continuously since then.
