Props for Blender
From the suggestion box comes a vote for Blender, a free open source 3D content creation suite.
Blender 3D! It is an OpenSource 3D animation and modeling program available for nearly every platform with an smart interface. (It takes some getting used to, but there are many support communities.)
We already had Blender in the thriftmac collection, but it didn’t have its own entry — instead it was an “also try” under the Wings 3D entry. I did some checking, and discovered that Blender is indeed a worthy app. An active group has created a foundation to support it and provides a lot of education and help.
You can also see some wonderful examples of the work people have done with Blender not only at the website, but also at YouTube. For an amazing example of a movie, check out Big Buck Bunny — a tale of a bunny, rodents and revenge.
