Blender in CGSociety 2010 Retrospective


CGSociety writes:

Already superceded by another update to 2.56, the Blender 2.55 upgrade was a major reworking of the interface and engine system for the Open Source tool and was extremely well received. Blender is avaliable cross platform, but utilizes OpenGL for drawing the entire interface. That means you best use a graphics card and drivers that conform to the OpenGL specifications.

Better rigging, animation modeling and rendering capabilities in the 2.5 version have brought Blender front and center for consideration by studios interested in the Open Source solution. Also, those wanting to educate themselves in the finer points of 3D are able to for very little outlay.
