Blender is 3D modeling and animation software, specially dedicated to modeling, lighting, rendering, animating and creating 3D graphics. Also digital composition using the procedural technique of nodes, video editing, sculpture (includes dynamic topology) and digital painting. In Blender, you can also develop video games since it has an internal game engine.

The 3D modeling and animation software Blender was initially distributed free of charge but without the source code, with a manual available for sale, although it later became free software.
