How to use blender...

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.

Our mission

We want to build a free and open source complete 3D creation pipeline for artists and small teams.
Read the mission statement about what Blender is by Foundation Chairman Ton Roosendaal.

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).

Development

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

Requirements

General information

Blender 2.7x works on nearly all operating systems. To use Blender, just unpack the archive you find in the download section and start Blender!
Graphics card note: Blender runs on all OpenGL-compatible cards, although there are some issues with integrated graphics cards (Intel, Via). We therefore can’t officially support and guarantee that Blender works fine on those systems.

Supported Platforms

Blender is available for Windows XP through 8, Mac OSX 10.6 and above, andLinux. Blender uses OpenGL for drawing the entire interface. This means it’s best if you use a graphics card that is OpenGL-compliant.
The Blender developer team welcomes all efforts to bypass issues with specific configurations, but we can only officially support the platforms that are in use by active developers. Check the wiki for a list of supported platforms.
