1 - What is Blender?

Contributed by Timothy Kanters.

Developed as the in-house software of a high quality animation studio, Blender has developed into a suite of technologies enabling the creation and replay of realtime, interactive 3D content. The software offers a versatile animation system, contemporary modeling principles, advanced rendering tools, an editor for postproduction and game creation and playback. Blender has the singular benefits of cross-platform, cross-network operability and a file size of less than 1.5MB and is freely available over the Internet.

Supported platforms:

Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, NT (i386)
Linux (I386, Alpha, PowerPC) glibc 2.1.2
FreeBSD (i386) 3.4
BeOS 5.0 (i386)
SGI
Sun Solaris 2.6 (sparc)
A Mac version will be available in Q3 2001

2 - What is this C-key I keep reading about?

Contributed by B@rt.

Before Blender 1.8 NaN sold a C-key (c for complete) which unlocked certain features. Now NaN has found investors there's no need for the c-key money anymore: as of version 1.8 Blender is completely free!
