Enjoy all the
capabilities of 3D graphics software without the
high cost!
Professional
results without professional prices!
Both the MAC and
PC installation files are included on this CD, so if you
have both computers, why buy 2 disks?
If you are
thinking about investing in a high end, name brand
3D computer graphics software, then you should
know that all of these large
corporations that make professional grade software are
switching pricing models to a subscription based model.
It is no longer enough to just pay one high price to use
their software, now you have to pay a high price EVERY YEAR
and continue to pay it as long as you want that software to
work. And if you stop paying, you can no longer access
the files you created until you cough up more money.
We think that is absurd and criminal. Fire the big
giants, and go with this software. Low priced,
but fully featured. This is the full version of
Blender, the professional 3D computer graphics software
suite, this is not
trial or limited in anyway.
Blender is
professional-level 3D graphics software used for
creating visual effects, animated films, art, 3D printed
models, interactive 3D applications and video games!
It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling,
rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing
and motion tracking, even video editing and game
creation. Blender is well suited to individuals
and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline
and responsive development process. User's
manual, along with links to tutorials and demo files
are included on the disk. Examples from many
Blender-based projects are shown below.
