Field Assignment #18  -OPEN SOURCE!!

In this assignment i was supposed to "try something Open-Source",so i gave a shot at Blender,an open-source and freely distributed program that is used for 3D modeling,art and animation.Blender's a pretty good program and its more than perfect for developers who have a low budget.It's commonly used by 3rd party developers and the program itself has many features making it extremely handy.

-The interface might look complicated but it becomes all clear after some time in using the program.



Blender is well known among most 3D artists,and it's ability of being easily customized using plug ins is more than useful.

On the animation part,blender does an okay job,it might not be something as good as 3dsmax or Maya,but it's really powerful considering its free.

Here's a trailer of a movie (Big Buck Bunny) made by the Blender foundation showing the application's capability.
