Blender is a free and open-source 3D creation suite founded by Ton Roosendaal, covering the full 3D production pipeline from modeling and animation to rendering and video editing. Blender's Twitter Score is 23 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #42,297 (top 10%) among 483,652 tracked accounts.
Blender is a public project licensed under the GNU General Public License, owned by its contributors rather than any single company. Roosendaal wrote the first source files in early 1994, and the project was later released under the GPL in October 2002 after a community fundraising campaign allowed the Blender Foundation to reclaim its rights from investors. The software supports a broad production pipeline, including modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking, and video editing, and is free to use for any purpose.
Blender maintains memberships with several open-technology organizations, including the Linux Foundation, the Academy Software Foundation, the Khronos Group, and the Open Invention Network. On the crypto side, Decentraland previously joined the Blender Development Fund as a Patron Member for a two-year period, and was described in Blender's 2022 annual report as one of two new members from the metaverse and crypto community.
Blender has 380,567 followers as of August 2026 on the platform and has published 1,232 posts. The account has been mentioned by 147 accounts, with 281 total mentions.
