Download Blender 3D 2.71. Blender is a software for processing 3D graphics and animations that can run on Windows, Macintosh and Linux. Blender is an integrated application that enables the creation of a broad range of 2D and 3D content. Blender provides a broad spectrum of modeling, texturing, lighting, animation and video post-processing functionality in one package. Through it's open architecture, Blender provides cross-platform interoperability, extensibility, an incredibly small footprint, and a tightly integrated workflow. The other is excess Blender 3D is the best open source 2D/3D graphics and animations.

Blender 3D 2.71 - Released

The Blender Foundation has just released the newest version of Blender 2.71. Much awaited new features for Cycles renderer include deformation motion blur, fire/smoke and volume rendering and a baking API. User interface now allows for draggable popups and resizable preview widgets. Animation has new interpolation types with “easing equations” presets.  Modeling now allows to “split normals” and Sculpting/Painting has new HSL color wheel and constant detail in dyntopo. Game development now allows deactivating logic bricks, multi-threaded animations, cast only materials and  “unlimited” action layers.  Freestyle NPR rendering has a new textured strokes feature, along with line sorting options.

Blender - Features

What's New in Blender 2.71 - Changelog

• New brush previews for the Texture Paint mode.
• Added support for a number of new interpolation types, that define a number of “easing equations” which reduce the amount of manual work to achieve certain common effects. 
• New “split normals” to draw smooth/sharp edges/faces in the 3DView, and both Cycles and BI renderers, replaces the old AutoSmooth/Angle settings for BI.
• New checkbox to deactivate sensors, controllers or actuators is added. It is useful during the game development phase to avoid delete any logic brick if you want to test something new.
• New Bevel Factor Mapping allows to control the relation between bevel factors and the rendered start and end point of a beveled spline.
