Blender - Редактор трехмерной графики и анимации - компактный, бесплатный и при этом вполне сопоставимый по возможностям с большинством других 3D-редакторов, причем значительно более громоздких и к тому же далеко не бесплатных. Blender вполне подойдет для создания не только самых разнообразных "домашних" проектов, но и, к примеру, небольших игр.





Interface:
- Revolutionary non-overlapping and non-blocking UI delivers unsurpassed workflow
- Flexible and fully configurable window layout with as many screen setups as you prefer
- Undo support on all levels
- Anti-aliased fonts with international translation support
- Any window space can be easily switched to any window type (curve editor, NLA, 3D view etc)
- Built-in text editor for annotations and editing Python scripts
- Graphical user interface for Python scripts
- Custom themes
- Consistent interface across all platforms



Rigging:
- Fast skeleton creation mode
- Interactive 3D paint for vertex weighting
- Fast envelope based skinning
- Automatic Skinning that really works (heat equilibrium based)
- Mirror editing (bone creation and weight painting)
- Double Quaternions reduce shrinking and other bone deformation errors
- Volume deformer uses a mesh cage to deform complex meshes with great results
- Bone layers and colored groups for better rig organization
- B-spline interpolated bones; forget about elbow twists
- Constraint stack for IK solver setup and other constraints
- PyConstraints; if you need something not yet implemented code it in python with real time feed back, no compiling needed



Animation:
- Armature (skeleton) deformation with forward/inverse kinematics with pole target support
- Auto IK allows posing FK chains easily
- Non-linear animation editor for mixing individual actions created in Action editor
- Automated walkcycles along paths
- Animated constraint system
- Vertex key framing for morphing, with controlling sliders
- Edit and create new blendshapes from existing targets
- Character animation pose editor
- 'Ipo' system integrates both motion curve and traditional key-frame editing
- Audio playback, mixing and editing support for sound synchronisation
- Timeline offers fast acces to many playback functions, autokey, help markers
- Python scripting access for custom and procedural animation effects
