Blender 2.40 released

I have been closely following the long development circles of Blender, an open source 3D modelling, animation and rendering software. 3D Modelling & Animation is a high price game. Leading softwares like Maya, 3D Studio Max, Softimage are costlier and requires a steep learning curve to master. Blender scores well in that. Open source software are available in web & application development but not in the entertainment industry. Entertainment is a multi billion dollar industry where everything is money. Having an open source software in that is not only amazing but also liberating from using pricy proprietary softwares. Blender was used in making Spiderman - 2 mash ups. Blender is a full fledged open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. Take the download from here and play around.
