Full Compositor

It comes with a fully fledged compositor built right in. That means no more exporting to third party programs, you can do it all without leaving the program.

Impressive library of nodes for creating camera fx, colour grading, vignettes and much more

Full compositing with images and video files

Ability to render to multilayer OpenEXR files

Multi-threaded

Amazing Simulations

Whether you need a crumbling building, rain, fire, smoke, fluid, cloth or full on destruction, It delivers great looking results.

Fluid – Realistic water and fluid simulations.

Smoke – Billowing smoke with flames and scene interaction.

Hair – Beautiful wafts of hair that blows in the wind and interacts with collisions.

Cloth – Amazingly realistic cloth simulations for clothing and environments

Rigid Body Physics – Makes any object destructible and colidable

Particles – For creating things like rain, sparks and shrapnel

Included is a complete game engine, allowing you to create a fully featured 3d game right inside .

Ability to port your models to any third-party game engine

Create or code your own game logic

Full Bullet Physics integration

Python scripting API for advanced control and AI

Support for all OpenGL dynamic lighting, toon shading, animated materials as well as Normal and Parallax Mapping

Playback of games inside without compiling or pre-processing

3D spatial audio using OpenAL

Game Creation

Camera and Object tracking

It now includes production ready camera and object tracking. Allowing you to import raw footage, track the footage, mask areas and see the camera movements live in your 3d scene. Eliminating the need to switch between programs.

Auto and manual tracking

Powerful camera reconstruction

Real-time preview of your tracked footage and 3d scene

Support for Planar tracking and Tripod solvers

Library of Extensions

It is loaded with a vast array of extensions that you can turn on or off easily.

Generators for trees, terrain, ivy and clouds

Fracture Objects

3D Printing Toolbox

Rigify meta-rigging system

Import and Export format support for AfterEffects, DirectX, Unreal Game Engine and more!

Flexible Interface

Novice and advanced users will love the ability to customize their layout completely. From simply splitting their viewport, to fully customizing it with python scripting, it works for you.

Consistency across all platforms

No disruptive pop-up windows

Crisp text (support for retina on OSX)

Sequencer – New Feature

Strip Modifiers: added white balance and tone map strip modifier, it is now possible to append strip’s modifiers to all selected ones.Effects: speedup of Gaussian Blur effect.

Importing new movie strips now uses movieclip framerate

Masks now can be both relative to strip and absolute to scene time

Nested scene strip support, word wrapped sequencer text

OpenGL previews Scene strips now respect the “Alpha Mode”
