Blender Windows 7
Download Blender¶ Blender offers two different binary packages; you can choose from a stable release or a daily build. The first has the benefit of being more reliable, the latter provides the newest features, as they are developed, at the cost of stability. Latest Stable Release. This is a binary distribution of the latest version of Blender. Windows – Intel¶ Blender uses of OpenGL for the 3D Viewport and user interface. The graphics card (GPU) and driver have a big impact on Blender’s behavior and performance. This section lists possible solutions for graphics glitches, problems with Eevee and Cycles, and crashes related to your GPU.
Blender is a powerful, professional, and free open source 3D graphics tool that can be used to produce everything from single 2D stills, to full 3D movies in broadcast and cinema quality, and even interactive 3D content for stand-alone playback.
The program comes packed with essential features. A comprehensive modeller supports a range of 3D object types, and fast skeleton creation and automatic skinning help you get started; an in-built raytracer complete with halo, lens flares and fog effects delivers top quality rendering; animation tools support full armature deformation with forward/ inverse kinematics, adding automated walkcycles along paths for easy movement planning; and you get top quality diffuse and specular shaders, accurate physics and particle modelling, even collision detection to aid with real-time 3D game creation.
Once you've finished, your project can be exported for viewing as 2D images, videos (AVI or MOV, say), or a host of 3D formats for possible reworking elsewhere: 3D Studio, AC3D, DXF, DirectX, Lightwave, MD2, Motion Capture, TrueSpace, VRML, and more.
And if you'd like to get a feel for what the program can do, then try watching Blender-created movies like Sintel and Big Buck Bunny - the results can be very impressive.
Please note, Blender is now 64-bit only.
Verdict:
A complex, but very powerful 3D graphics tool with many interesting applications
Blender is the first and only fully integrated 3D graphics creation suite allowing modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, realtime interactive 3D and game creation and playback with cross-platform compatibility - all in one tidy, easily and free downloadable package. Blender Editor's Review
Blender Windows 7
You can get an idea of Blender’s capabilities by listing some of the projects that have used it. For example, the makers of ‘Spiderman 2’ used Blender for 3D and character animation; it was used for the special effects in the film ‘Vendredi ou un autre Jour’, movies ‘Elephants Dream’, ‘Big Buck Bunny’, ‘Sintel’ and ‘Plumiferos’ a 3D CG feature film were made in Blender; as was the 3D game ‘Yo Frankie!’
Blender comes from the not-for-profit Blender Foundation. It is open-source, free to download and use but requires a considerable investment of time and effort from the serious user and rewards her with the flexible software and skills to model in 2 and 3D, animate, render and process images and videos to an award-winning professional standard. It includes related functionality: a game engine, fonts, motion capture and many, many more.
A good place to start is to become familiar with the interface which has been reworked in the recent 2.61 version. Support comes in the way of texts, models and tutorials from the official website. A CMS gathers background information and lists many websites and groups maintained by Blender followers, (Blender Art Magazine, Blender Nation, and so on). If that is not enough a shelf of specialist commercial books offers guidance through the Blender product.
As for the software, by its nature it is resource hungry, but bug-free. Learned and professional users consider Blender to be a match or more for other pay-for packages.
Pros: Undo and Redo support at all levels; immensely capable toolset; ardent community; fully configurable user interface.
Cons: Size and complexity.
Conclusions: This is a conceptual product whose primary audience is the professional designer. Its focus is 3D animation, but it extends beyond. It demands a commitment to learning it. It may be free to download and use, but unless you prepare for the road ahead you may find yourself unable to get the most out of it; and there is a great deal to get from this product.
