Blender Tips

Blender is a computer graphics software tool set used to create 3D models, interactive 3D applications, motion graphics, augmented and virtual reality, and many other related things.

It is free and open-source software (FOSS), for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) keeps the current version of Blender installed on our Design Workstations 1-3.

The PPM Design Workstation 2 runs Blender better than the other PPM workstations, because it has an NVIDIA GPU (Quadro P620).
