'''Blender''' is a [[3D computer graphics|3D]] animation program released as [[Open Source]] software. It can be used for [[3D modeling|modeling]], [[UV mapping|UV]] unwrapping, texturing, rigging, water simulations, skinning, animating, [[rendering (computer graphics)|rendering]], [[particle system|particle]] and other [[computer simulation|simulations]], [[non-linear editing]], [[compositing]], and creating interactive 3D applications. Blender is available for several [[operating system]]s, including [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Mac OS X]], [[Linux]], [[IRIX]], [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]], [[NetBSD]], [[FreeBSD]], [[OpenBSD]] with unofficial ports for [[BeOS]], [[SkyOS]], [[AmigaOS]], [[MorphOS]] and [[Pocket PC]]. Blender has a robust feature set similar in scope and depth to other high-end 3D software such as [[Softimage XSI|Softimage|XSI]], [[Cinema 4D]], [[3ds Max]], [[Lightwave]] and [[Maya (software)|Maya]]. These features include advanced simulation tools such as rigid body, fluid, and softbody dynamics, modifier based modeling tools, powerful character animation tools, a node based material and compositing system and [[Python (programming language)|Python]] for embedded scripting.
