Overview

A complete, free and opensource 3D suite to create artistic content. It offers you the full 3D art pipeline to create game graphics, pre-rendered movies and stills, animation and assets. From modeling, drawing, sculpting, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering, post processing and video editing. Bforartists stands for "Be For Artists". A reminder to develop for artistic user, not the programmer! This is a fork of the popular open source 3D software Blender.

This is maintained and developed by a few 3D enthusiasts in the community to make Blender even better. You can join our Discord server here: discord.com/invite/yKuR77v Primary goal is to deliver a refined graphical UI and an alternative usability paradigm to Blender with a complete switch in the usage philosophy away from the hotkey centered UX towards a user friendly, discoverable and intuitive graphical UI.

Fully compatible with the entire Blender ecosystem of addons, themes and assets. Every feature that works in Blender should also work in Bforartists. We update every release to keep up to date with the newest Blender version. The toolset is the identical, differences lie the most is the Gui and the UX handling. Try it out today. You can switch from Blender to Bforartists to Blender without problems and enjoy.
