This open-source 3D design software, Blender, is being utilized in a 3D design course for undergraduate students by Rob Ray at CSU, San Bernardino. Blender is the free and open-source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. The main motivation to adopt an open-source software program was to provide students with an industry-ready, no-cost solution they could grow with over their career. Most students access Blender by downloading and the application on their Mac or PC laptops and desktop computers.
