features a powerful new unbiased rendering engine called Cycles that offers stunning ultra-realistic rendering.

• Fast Cube, Cylinder, Sphere and Camera projections
• Conformal and Angle Based unwrapping (with edge seams and vertex pinning)

• • Painting directly onto the mesh

• • Multiple UV layers

• • UV layout image exporting

comprehensive array of modelling tools make creating, transforming and editing your models a breeze.

• Keyboard shortcuts for a fast workflow

  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
• • Render-layer support
• Full compositing with images and video files
• Ability to render to multilayer OpenEXR files
• Multi-threaded

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

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

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!

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)

It comes packed with import/export support for many different programs.

• Video – AVI, MPEG and Quicktime (on OSX)
• 3D – 3D Studio (3DS), COLLADA (DAE), Filmbox (FBX), Autodesk (DXF), Wavefront (OBJ), DirectX (x), Lightwave (LWO), Motion Capture (BVH), SVG, Stanford PLY, STL, VRML, VRML97, X3D

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”
