free and open-source 3D computer graphics software

AI overview

Blender is a free computer program that lets you create 3D images and animations, like the graphics you see in movies and video games. Because it's free and open-source (meaning anyone can see and modify its code), it's become an important tool for artists, filmmakers, and designers who might not be able to afford expensive professional software.

Described at

Blender is a free and open source 3D animation 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.
