Need a free 3d design program that doesn't miss on professional features. Blender is for you.
This program covers most 3d file formats. With a great variety of tools available, Sculpting can be used to create
very detailed organic looking characters. Coupled with modifiers like
multi-res, the models can be very complex while the interface remains
responsive.
Thanks to flawless integration, tasks as simple as walk cycles or as
complex as lip syncing can be undertaken with more emphasis on the
results and the fine tunning.
With the Non Linear Animation (NLA) independent movements, poses, and
gestures can be combined into complex actions, and reordered or altered
individually, without having to remake the whole animation.
True and tested, the robust default render engine is an industrial strength image generator.
With powerful optimization for material nodes and procedural
textures, along with fully compliant support for farm rendering, the
Blender internal render engine is reliable, fast and efficient.
With its complete integration to code base and its totally graphical
interface, the
Game Engine is both fully independent from, while at the
same time perfectly adapted to, your programing skills.
Use the visual data blocks to create your game logic, or code your own, either way once finished your product can be ported to the run time environment of your choice.
The Game Engine as far as I know is completely unique to Blender and not found in any other 3d editors. Another great thing is almost any platform your on there is indeed a version available.
