Blender 3D!! Simple!

Blender is open source and packs a lot of features found only on high end 3D software which costs in the thousands of pounds/dollars &#8211;[insert local denomination]&#8211;!!
I haven&#8217;t produced any 3D recently however the feature set offered by blender is close catching up to the feature set offered by the big boys.
Not only this, but if you goto the download page for blender you will quickly notice that this software runs most major platforms and looks and performs well on each of them. I&#8217;ve even run it on ...]]></description>

<p>Blender is open source and packs a lot of features found only on high end 3D software which costs in the thousands of pounds/dollars &#8211;[insert local denomination]&#8211;!!</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t produced any 3D recently however the feature set offered by blender is close catching up to the feature set offered by the big boys.</p>
<p>Not only this, but if you goto the download page for blender you will quickly notice that this software runs most major platforms and looks and performs well on each of them. I&#8217;ve even run it on a PocketPC and I was blown away just to see it working on the thing!</p>
<p>Once thing I would say is that the workflow differs greatly from other major 3D applications. Whether you are coming from one of these or just dabbling, I would advise you to read the online help.</p>
<p>I purchased the official blender manual around 2 years ago as free information on blender was a little sparse around then. While I still believe its a great investment for anyone who is serious about creating anything in blender, the official sites documentation now looks like a sufficient place to start. There are also many video tutorials around the internet and communities supporting the creation of 3D graphics using Blender 3D</p>
<p>Did I mention it was free?!!</p>
