Blender 2.60

Blender is een professioneel, maar toch gratis, programma voor 3D animatie dat in diverse speelfilms gebruikt is. Blender is een zogeheten 3D content creation suite die uitgebreide mogelijkheden biedt voor 3D modeling.

Blender 2.60 is een upgrade die diverse nieuwe functies biedt. 3D audio en video en verbeteringen aan het animation system, de game engine en de weight painting tools zijn de voornaamste vernieuwingen.

Ook zijn 165 fouten opgelost. Blender 2.60 is te downloaden voor Windows XP, Vista en 7, Mac OS X en Linux.
