Blender creator and Blender Foundation chairman Ton Roosendaal has revealed on Twitter the origin of our beloved software's name: A showreel he made to promote the animation studio NeoGeo, which he founded and went on to become the biggest animation studio in the Netherlands at the time. The name of the mythical showreel? "NeoGeo Blender" of course!

This is the most 90's thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
