Blender is blowing away the 3D computer graphics market with unprecedented energy. Born in 1998 thanks to Ton Rosendal who started its development in 1995, at the beginning it was limited to the hobbyist world for a long time, in recent years its development has undergone an incredible acceleration. In 2002 the Blender Foundation was founded to carry on the development, team has grown, the software has improved from every point of view, growing in terms of functionality, resources, and power since release 2.8 with revolutionary features and a revised and improved user interface.

Thanks to community donations and funding from big supporters like Epic Games, Microsoft, AMD, Ubisoft, Nvidia and others, development is proceeding unstoppable. Blender is now mature and can be used covering entire CG workflow with its features.

Now it is part of professional CG world, it is used in large and small studios and thousands of artists from all over the world, development speed is very high and it becomes more and more complete and stable. Everyone talks about it, many artists choose to use and study it as the first 3D software, so here at Proteus we have prepared a unique course curriculum, we want to explain its functionality using it in a real production environment, working on scenes and shots as if you were part of a special effects team. It’s time to flex your skills with this powerful open source tool! If you don’t believe in its potential, take a look at the latest short films from Blender Animation Studio, made to test and enhance the software tools by stressing it in production.
