Blender is a free and open source 3D computer graphics software tool set for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
It is used to create 3D models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, augmented and virtual reality, and many other related things.
Pikes Peak Makerspace keeps the current version of Blender installed on our Design Workstations 1-3.
Our Design Workstation 2 runs Blender better than our others because it has an NVidia (Quadro P620) GPU.
