About

●Blender / About

https://www.blender.org/about/

The organization

Blender Foundation is a Dutch public-benefit corporation, established to support and facilitate the projects on blender.org.

The software

Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation,

simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. Advanced users employ Blender's

API for Python scripting to customize the application and write specialized tools; often these are included in Blender's future

releases. Blender is well suited to individuals and small studios who benefit from its unified pipeline and responsive development

process. Examples from many Blender-based projects are available in the showcase.

Blender is cross-platform and runs equally well on Linux, Windows, and Macintosh computers. Its interface uses OpenGL to provide

a consistent experience. To confirm specific compatibility, the list of supported platforms indicates those regularly tested by the

development team.

As a community-driven project under the GNU General Public License (GPL), the public is empowered to make small and large

changes to the code base, which leads to new features, responsive bug fixes, and better usability. Blender has no price tag, but you

can invest, participate, and help to advance a powerful collaborative tool: Blender is your own 3D software.

About

●Blender / About

https://www.blender.org/about/

The license

You are free to use Blender for any purpose, including commercially or for education. This freedom is being defined by Blender's

GNU General Public License (GPL).

Read more about the license.

Development

Blender is being actively developed by hundreds of people from all around the world. These include animators, artists, VFX experts,

hobbyists, scientists, and much more. All of them are united by an interest to further a completely free and open source 3D creation

pipeline. The Blender Foundation supports and facilitates these goals—and employs a small staff for that—but depends fully on the

global online community.

More help is always welcome! From developing and improving Blender to writing documentation, etc, there are a number of different

things you can do to get involved.

●Blender / License

https://www.blender.org/about/license/

The Software

●Blender is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL, or "free software").

●

●This license grants people a number of freedoms:

You are free to use Blender, for any purpose

●You are free to distribute Blender

●You can study how Blender works and change it

●You can distribute changed versions of Blender

●The GPL strictly aims at protecting these freedoms, requiring everyone to share their modifications when they also share the software in public. That aspect is

commonly referred to as Copyleft.

●The Blender Foundation and its projects on blender.org are committed to preserving Blender as free software.

●License details

●The source code we develop at blender.org is default being licensed as GNU GPL Version 2 or later. Some modules we make are using more permissive

licenses, though, for example, the Blender Cycles rendering engine is available as Apache 2.0.

●Blender also uses many modules or libraries from other projects. For example, Python uses the Python License; Bullet uses the Zlib License; Libmv

uses the MIT License; and OSL, a BSD License.

●All the components that together make Blender are compatible under the newer GNU GPL Version 3. That is also the license to use for any distribution of

Blender binaries.

●Blender / License

https://www.blender.org/about/license/

The Software

●Blender is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL, or "free software").

●Your Artwork

●What you create with Blender is your sole property. All your artwork – images or movie files – including the .blend files and

other data files Blender can write, is free for you to use as you like.

●That means that Blender can be used commercially by artists, by studios to make animation films or VFX, by game artists to

work on commercial games, by scientists for research, and by students in educational institutions.

●

●Blender's GNU GPL license guarantees you this freedom. Nobody is ever permitted to take it away, in contrast to trial or

"educational" versions of commercial software that will forbid your work in commercial situations.

●The Software

Blender is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL, or "free software").

●Privacy and Internet access

Blender respects your privacy, no registration is needed, no connection to the internet is made if you decide to install

and use Blender. Blender does not need internet to function properly.

●Some add-ons bundled with Blender may access the internet for additional services. These add-ons are not enabled

on installing Blender. These add-ons are not required to be enabled for proper functioning of the software, nor will

any Blender function ask for enabling such add-ons.

●Add-ons that require internet will ask a user explicit permission to use internet while or after enabling the add-on.

●Note: this applies to the official version provided via blender.org. We always recommend you to use the official

releases.

●Using Blender's game player

When you combine your artwork (in a .blend file) with Blender's game player (as a stand-alone binary for example),

the inclusion of this player requires that the entire bundle has to be released compatible with Blender's license.

●FAQ for Artists

Apart from creating art or movies or 3d models, you can also use Blender as a Python scripter or to use Blender for

game playback.

Modelling realistic trees can be a difficult task, especially if a large number of similar trees with small variations are required. Using curves as the basis of construction allows dynamic geometry which can be changed depending on the level of detail required. https://archive.blender.org/wiki/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Curve/Sapling_Tree/ - Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite.

Mirror reflections are computed in the Blender Render and Cycles Renderers using ray tracing. (n.b. Reflections are not available in the Game Engine). Ray tracing can be used to make a material reflect its surroundings, like a mirror. The principle of ray-traced reflections is very simple: a ray is fired from the camera and travels through the scene until it encounters an object. If the first object hit by the ray is not reflective, then the ray takes the color of the object. If the object is reflective, then the ray bounces from its current location and travels up to another object, and so on, until a non-reflective object is finally met and gives the whole chain of rays its color. Indirect Lighting adds indirect light bouncing of surrounding objects. It models the light that is reflected from other surfaces to the current surface. Is more comprehensive, more physically correct, and produces more realistic images. It is also more computationally expensive. https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.79/render/blender_render/materials/properties/mirror.html Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ - https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.79/render/blender_render/world/indirect_lighting.html - rastermon.com - Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite.

It models the light that is reflected from other surfaces to the current surface. Is more comprehensive, more physically correct, and produces more realistic images. It is also more computationally expensive.
