VfD[edit]

From VfD, I've redirected this article here. Please check if this information is correct.—Eloquence (comment added in December 2003)

Documentation[edit]

The above two are the documentation of blender, is it ok to add them to link section? (Because in the blender program there is a link linking to these pages)

Going open source[edit]

There is no direct proof of correlation between Blender going open source and software lowering prices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by T-tus (talk • contribs) 2005-06-18T13:00:55 (UTC)

that is right — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.124.86 (talk) 2009-02-05T15:52:10 (UTC)

(this message is defunct considering Blender is no longer available commercially. Ton Roosendal's Company NaN went bankrupt, and with some luck was able to convince the Angel Investor that funded his startup to allow him to release the sources to the world. Blender's development continues as a result of the sale Blender branded Merchandise and Contributions). -- —Kiernan 05:04, 28 July 2005 (MST)

This message is meaningless,as the problem mentioned does not directly refer to a violation of Wikipedia's policies. Even if it is viewed as an issue, it is solved by the statements at http://www.blender.org/about/license/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.235.232.46 (talk) 2022-03-07T15:42:18 (UTC)

OSL, Integrators, and Release History[edit]

I've updated the OSL and integrator sections to take into account recent Blender updates; specifically noting the removal of branched path tracing in Blender 3.0 and partial OSL support for GPUs with OptiX in Blender 3.5. In addition, I've also added a summary of the Blender 4.2 changes in the release history, as well as clarify some things in the summary of Blender 4.0 changes Mahid Sheikh <> StandingPad (talk) 13:20, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
