Blender 2.71 Released

The Blender organization has released the latest version of its 3D modeling software.

Version 2.71 introduces some new features as well as fixing bugs. 


3D Modeling software is a departure from the main subject of this blog (photography) but I do cover art related items as well as photography.  Blender is the most advanced free 3D modeling software available and it is well supported by volunteer developers.

There are ways for photographers to get some use out of the software, including using it to create animation effects with photographic images. 

It's also a way for artists looking to branch out into 3d modeling to do so without having to spend a large amount of money on a software license. 

Alternative 3D software can cost thousands of dollars to purchase. 

Why spend thousands of dollars when there is a free alternative?  The expensive software is used by companies producing 3D games and movies.  An artist will need to purchase the software used by those companies if they want to work in those industries on a professional basis.
