Blender
Blender is an open source tool for creating 3D content. It brings modeling, materials, lighting, animation, and rendering together so ideas can become still images or moving scenes.

Blender represents a scene as objects, materials, lights, and cameras. Artists shape models, define their appearance, and set movement over time. Rendering turns that scene into images or video. Models can also be exported to other software, making the same asset useful beyond a single finished picture.
What you can build
Create product visualizations, animated explainers, architectural scenes, and 3D assets for games or websites.
Product visualization
Show a product from several camera angles, explore different materials, and create consistent images before arranging a physical photography session for it.
Interactive 3D assets
Prepare models and animations for a game or web experience, balancing visual detail with the limits of the device that will display them.
Things to consider
Asset detail, textures, lighting, and output format affect rendering time and file size. Interactive uses need different optimization choices from still images or video.
