Blender - Open source 3d game engine

Wednesday, 11 June 2008 07:48
blender.org - Home - Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License.


I've been very impressed with Blender. Blender isn't just a 3D editor, but also a very powerful game engine with complete physics/collision detection and python scripting. All open source and portable! It runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac. :) Here are some random links.

Dance! Robot Dance! - a fun song and dance animation. - my page about a blender movie I'm working on for my kids.

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro
Blender tutorials which also includes the Pyramidaze! python script.

I love the idea of open source movies! Open source movies are completely free (though you can support with dvd purchase) and you can get all the models, scripting, media, etc. online. It really lets you see what is possible with Blender....very impressive.
